PHETCHABURI — A 21-year-old man shot his father three times at their home in Mueang district on 31 May 2026 after years of alleged abuse, police said.
Officers from Mueang Phetchaburi Police Station were notified of the shooting at 07:00 and found three 9mm shell casings at the scene — one near the front door and two on a bed inside the house. The victim, identified as Atthsit, was taken to Phra Chomklao Hospital with gunshot wounds to the buttocks, left thigh, and a graze wound to the chest.
The suspect, Siradanai Thanang-sit, fled the scene but was arrested at a relative’s home nearby at 09:30 the same morning.
During questioning, Siradanai told police he had endured years of abuse from his father, including threats at gunpoint, kicking, and beatings. He said a heated argument earlier that morning, combined with long-suppressed anger, led him to open fire.
Relatives confirmed the two had frequent arguments, and that a serious quarrel preceded the shooting.
Siradanai was charged with attempted murder, illegal possession of a firearm, and carrying a weapon in a public place without a permit.
