Sorry, no closer info on the recent case than what is rumored on tv: http://www.thaivisa.com/forum/Norwegian-Man-Shot-Korat-t304161.html

And the last rumor of a guy getting shot near Chayaphum has been confirmed neither to my knowledge.

This new one was supposed to have been shot yesterday, still, they are all very old so it wouldn't have cut too much off of his expected life span :)

I bet you'll welcome it as "relieving you from your sufferings", when some of your girlfriends or their boyfriends aren't willing to wait for you to go by yourself before you reach "maturity", George.  ;)
