Neighbours' political dispute fatal

SAMUT SAKHON - A man shot and killed his next door neighbour in a dispute apparently stemming from their conflicting political views, and aggravated by alcohol, cigarette smoke and a noisy gate.

Police said they received a report of a fatal shooting in front of a house in tambon Om Noi of Krathum Baen district on Monday night. 

At the scene, police found the body of Sophon Purachaka, 50, a local gift shop owner, in a pickup truck. Weeping next to the man were his wife and a teenage daughter, according to a report in Matichon.
