Moneylender arrested after being angry at woman for leaving him, shoots gun into the air to threaten her, claims she insulted his parents

A loan shark surrendered after a woman distanced him from him, who pulled out a gun and fired it into the air to threaten local residents and reporters. He initially claimed that he did it because he was angry that his parents were insulted. The original clip shows Mr. Phanuwat or Kai, aged 29, making loud noises before shooting into the air inside Soi Bongkot, South Pattaya, and riding away on a motorcycle. The incident shocked the villagers to the point of having to run for their lives. At first, they didn't know who was who. Villagers told the police that there were two perpetrators. The one who used the gun was tall and thin, covered in tattoos, and around 25-30 years old. He rode a motorcycle with a pillion who was a small man, around 18-25 years old. Ms. Jenjira, a woman who was at the scene, gave a tip that the man who committed the crime was Mr. Phanuwat, a moneylender, whom she knew well because they had been dating for two weeks. However, the relationship often had arguments, so I tried to dist ance myself from him, which made Mr. Phanuwat dislike me. When he was drunk, he tried to drag me to hug and kiss me. When I resisted and the people who saw the incident came to persuade me to go back, it made Mr. Phanuwat even more dissatisfied. Drunk young man claims he shot to threaten because he was angry because he was insulted to his parents. These clues led to tracking down Mr. Phanuwat to prosecute. In the end, Mr. Phanuwat could not stand the pressure and turned himself in with the evidence of a gun and a loan shark's business card. However, he still claimed that he did it because he was angry because the woman insulted his parents and that he threatened the villagers because he misunderstood that he was having an affair with his girlfriend. He emphasized that he only used a blank gun to shoot to make a noise and did not intend to hurt anyone.
