    A police spokesperson was quoted as saying by the BBC that the groom “was quite intoxicated at the time”.

    They seem to think that is a fair explanation.

      You know what they say, guns and alcohol go together like peas and carrots. That is what they say, isn’t it? Isn’t it?

        It’s weird, I’ve been really drunk and I’ve murdered maybe two people. Tops.

    it wasn’t some drunken rampage… they were together for three years, and on the day of the wedding while they’re just sitting around at somebody’s house, he snaps and shoots her, her mother, and her sister… then kills himself… he was a 29 year old ex-military athlete missing a leg, she was 44…

        Quit being racist with that goat shit.

        We all know Thailand is full of moped riding monkeys wearing denim, and smoking cigarettes.

        There was a whole documentary about it.

        That’s brilliant actually. Except it would be the woman who shot the husband, and she’d fall in love with the investigator and make passionate love on the beach.

    Cultural differences always interest me. According to American sitcoms, just killing the mother in law would be sufficient.

      it’s really a failure on the part of the Best Man… he’s specifically supposed to restrain you from killing your mother in law on your wedding day…

    This incident comes just days after Thai interior minister Anutin Charnvirakul signed an order to suspend the issuance of gun licences for a year.
