In the Suan Phung city of Ratchaburi state, two Burmese men who were employed in Samut Sakhon were discovered dead early on Thursday from bullet wounds.

According to Pol Maj Chaiwat Purinthrapibarn, a work officer at the Suan Phung place, who was called at around 4.30am, the bodies were discovered on a gravel path leading to Pong Song Koh Village Moo 7 in tambon Suan Phung.

Aung San, 43, had been shot half: in the chest and head. On his right side, he also suffered a scar. On the way, a spent gun was discovered. A wireless telephone, some money, a migrant cards and a driving permission were found on his body.

The next man’s body, later identified as Saw Saw, was found about 300 meters away with a bullet wound to the back. The place had a sizable pool of blood. Two spent guns were discovered outside, along with two sandals that were thought to belong to him.

The road was mostly used by motorcycles because it was too narrow for cars and huge vehicles, according to Naruemol Kaewchaemsri, Village Moo 7’s assistant head. She believed the attackers might have been aware of the road.

The two patients, according to police interviews, had left their Samut Sakhon homes on Wednesday at 8:30 p.m. with four different companions in two cars. The family tried to talk to them, but nothing was said.

Along the way and nearby neighborhoods, police authorities were looking for potential answers about the attackers by looking through film from closed-circuit broadcast cameras. The cause of the deadly shootings is still unknown.
