At 4:30 p.m. on 30 September 2026, police responded to a shooting inside the shrine at Don Wai market in Samphran district, Nakhon Pathom. Officers found the body of 63‑year‑old Poranchun seated on a plastic chair, slumped over a wooden table with gunshot wounds to her right ribcage and head. Nearby lay the body of 68‑year‑old Pornthep, who had a single gunshot wound to the head and an apparent wound to his right toe; a .38‑caliber revolver lay beside him with three spent casings and three live rounds. A black Fino motorcycle with Bangkok license plate was parked nearby, and a brown gun holster was found under the seat. According to witnesses, Poranchun had been chatting with two women when Pornthep passed by; she reportedly asked why he came to the shrine every day, which upset him. He left, returned half an hour later with a gun, confronted Poranchun, accused her of looking down on him, shot her in the torso and head, then turned the weapon on himself. Poranchun was a friend of Pornthep’s wife, who rents space in front of her house to sell curry. Police will take statements from witnesses and relatives and send the bodies to Siriraj Hospital’s forensic institute for autopsy.
