Thailand Police Say Groom Was Drunk Prior To Mass Shooting At Wedding
A popular para-athlete in Thailand recently died by self-harm after killing four people at his wedding reception. The groom shot his bride, her mother and sister, and another guest before turning the weapon on himself, per CBS News and Bangkok Post.
The deceased couple lived together for about three years before they wed.
Local police are still investigating what led to the mass shooting. However, they confirmed that Chaturong Susuk, 29, shot Kanchana Pachunthuek following an argument.
Still, local police reportedly expect to close the case out soon, per BBC.
According to BBC Chaturong, Susuk “was quite intoxicated at the time” of the shooting. Wedding guests also reportedly told local police that the groom and his bride argued during the celebration.
“They had an argument on private matters, and Chaturong walked to his car and picked up a gun before shooting,” said Nakhon Ratchasima province police officer, Matichon Wongbaokul.
No word on why the groom also targeted his bride’s relatives.

Police still haven’t nailed a motivation behind the groom’s actions. However, premeditated murder might be off the table as the investigation continues. So far, police have discovered that the groom purchased the weapon and ammunition he used legally last year.
