former close protection officer, working for the 11th Division of the Royal Thai Army, allegedly shot and badly injured his wife in the early hours of Wednesday following a drug-induced rage. Khun Apichart aged 45 is thought to have become addicted to Crystal Methamphetamine after he left the Army and would often suffer episodes of paranoia, believing that people were following him and trying to kill him. For this reason he would always keep a firearm clipped to his trouser belt. His wife of 5 years, Khun Pacharin aged 28 who has one child from a previous marriage, witnessed such an episode on Wednesday Morning at their family home in the Nong Pla Lai area, and shouted at her Husband to stop. He then aimed the 38 caliber weapon at her and shot her in her right upper chest area. He reportedly tried to shoot again but was stopped by neighbors who heard the sound of gunfire and came to assist the victim. Realizing what he had done, Khun Apichart drove his injured wife to Hospital where Police caught up with him and detained him and seized his gun which was found in the boot of his car. Khun Apichart claimed the gun was accidentally used during the altercation with his wife who is still deciding whether to take the case any further or not. The Police investigation continues.
