Somsri told the police that her husband, Mr. Lang Kamlom (51), was shot on 3rd May, at around 12.20 a.m. Surin Muenpat (53), the suspected murderer and an the ex-president of Tungruangthong Sub-District Administrative Organisation, came to her house and shot her husband to death with four witnesses to the crime. The local police later arrested him, but he denied all charges.

“The suspect is powerful in the area because he is a politician, and this means the investigation is slow and tricky. Also, commissioned police officers have tried to convince me to compromise or distort the case. So, for my family’s safety, I need justice,” added Somsri.
