Student kills boyfriend, self

BANGKOK - Two university students are dead after a shooting inside Suan Dusit Rajabaht University at 3pm on Monday. Police believe jealousy was the motive for the killings.

Police said Paisarn Srikacha, 20, and Pongpawat Chaicheep, 21, were in an intimate relationship. 

Paisarn's father told investigators that Pongpawat threatened and physically abused his son after the two broke up.

    How has no one else commented on the picture, I realize that the Bangkok Post is also read by Thais and therefore it needs to be sensitive to the tastes of that readership but I was under the impression that most foreigners found that newspapers that show pictures of dead victims to be quite unpleasant and fundamentally unnecessary, what possibly made the editors of the Bangkok Post think that using this picture was acceptable?

    Apart from the issue of the easy availabilty of guns,a more fundamental question that this tragedy highlights is the absence of relevant and helpful education in Personal and Social Relationships in Thailand,and elsewhere.
    Young people ,of all sexualities,need a chance for open,honest ,realistic discussion to prepare,for example, for the pressures and passions of falling and being in love ,and for handling break-up of love affairs.The unrealistic High Dramas of Soap Opera and othe media don't help.nor does the narrow 'moralistic' education in ethics now given in schools.
    Lets reflect on the lessons of this tragedy

    Unlike the U.S where desperate people just spray bullets on innocent people and then try to escape, this guy killed both parties to the problem - nothing more nothing less. Maybe the 2 families should have a combined funeral, they can be friends in heaven again.

    It is very difficult to LEGALLY possess any kind of a firearm in Thailand. However, such weapons are readily available on the black market. Most are military weapons left over from the Vietnam War or Cambodia's internal wars. In the 1980s these flooded into Thailand and many are still hidden away. The situation can hardly be compared to the island country of Singapore.

    Only the criminals have guns in Thailand. The police do a very poor job controlling the flow of weapons into the hands of criminals. Any vice that makes money is running rampid in Thailand as Thai's have no ethical morals and will sell anything, including themselves or their own daughters! Is this a trait to be arrogant about? Thai's need to take a long look in the mirror into the lawless, uneducated rogues that most, regardless of stature or uniform, have succumbed to be.

    wvavin #4. Did you read the article? The youngest of the two did not have a gun. He was murdered by his ex, and according to the article Paisarn's family had him arrested for trespassing and there was some abuse issues. Paisarn Srikacha did not deserve to be gunned down in cold blood.

    No pity for them because if they don't shoot themselves now, they could have hurt others with the firearm. At least Bangkok is one menace safer with them dead.

    University is roughening, it should be a place to rejoin. Murder is competition writ large.

    So easy to get hold of a hand gun in Bkk?
    Impossible in Singapore!
