Hunt for the man who tricked a teenager into receiving a watch before shooting him in the middle of a deserted alley in Pathum Thani.

Pathum Thani, 8 Oct - A brutal criminal planned to trick a 17-year-old teenager into meeting up to receive a watch he bought online, lured him into a secluded alley, and shot him dead. Police are urgently reviewing CCTV footage to track down the criminal. This incident occurred in the middle of last night. Khlong Luang Police, Pathum Thani Province, received a report that a teenager had been shot and killed in Soi Khlong Sam Tawan Ok 9/4. An inspection of the scene found the deceased, Mr. Yo (assumed name), age 17, shot once in the upper arm, once in the left side, once in the left chest. Blood was found dripping all over the road, as well as 8 bullet casings of unknown caliber, 1 bullet head, and another bullet. Police questioned Mr. Dis (pseudonym), aged 16, a friend who was riding the motorcycle with Mr. Yo but narrowly escaped death. They received information that Mr. Yo had contacted him via Facebook to buy the watch and arranged to pick it up at the entrance of Soi Khlong Sam. Mr. Yo then invited Mr. Dis and three other friends to ride two motorcycles to pick up the watch, with Mr. Yo sitting on the back of Mr. Dis's motorcycle. When they arrived at the meeting point, they saw three men sitting in a bronze car, and one of them pointed for Mr. Dis to ride his motorcycle into the alley. At that time, Mr. Dis did not want to go in, but Mr. Yo, the deceased, said that he really wanted a watch, so he asked Mr. Dis to help him ride his motorcycle in. But as soon as Mr. Dis rode his motorcycle to take Mr. Yo into the alley, and Mr. Yo got out of the car, the assailant wearing a red shirt came out of the forest and shot Mr. Yo until he died. Then the shooter ran to a car that was waiting, before they all drove away to the end of the alley. Mr. Chaiwat, Mr. Yo's stepfather, told the police that his son called his father and asked for 300 baht. His father did not know what his son was asking for or how he ended up here. He only knew that his son had run away from his mother from Nakhon Sawan at midnight and that he had already died. The chief of Khlong Luang Police Station ordered the investigation team to review CCTV footage along the escape route of the perpetrators and take the friend who was with them in for questioning, as there are still many points of doubt about this incident. - Thai News Agency Source: Thai News Agency
