Thai Para-Athlete Kills Four at Wedding, Including Bride, Before Turning Gun on Self

Former soldier Chaturong Suksuk, who was reportedly intoxicated, abruptly left the reception and returned with a gun he had legally purchased last year.

  • Chaturong Suksuk, a 29-year-old Thai para-athlete and former soldier, shot his bride and three others before killing himself on his wedding day.
  • The victims included his 44-year-old bride, her 62-year-old mother, her 38-year-old sister, and a 50-year-old guest.
  • Chaturong had legally purchased the gun and ammunition used in the shooting last year.
  • Guests reported that Chaturong appeared upset during the reception and left abruptly before returning with the gun.
  • Speculation suggests Chaturong may have been insecure about the 15-year age gap between him and his bride, but police have not confirmed this as a motive.
