In a tragic incident on October 7, 2024, in Songkhla, a woman shot and killed her husband, their 16-year-old son, and 18-year-old daughter, before turning the gun on herself in what is believed to be an act stemming from financial issues. The family is linked to former municipal council member Chaiyan Kwanseang. Local police are currently awaiting blood test results to determine if the victims were sedated before the shooting, as evidence suggests that pillows were used to muffle the gunshots, indicating no signs of struggle.
The atmosphere around the family home remains quiet, with relatives gathering personal belongings in preparation for the funeral rites at Laem Sai Temple. Neighbors described the deceased as well-liked, with the husband often seen jogging in the evenings—a pattern that was broken the day of the incident. Witnesses reported hearing only one gunshot, presumed to be the final shot from the wife as she took her own life after the other three shootings.
