'Don't smoke' admonishment sparks shootingSuspect Thirawat Thamkhanthee, 27, gun in hand and smoking a cigarette, walks away from a factory in Samut Prakan province on Tuesday evening. He said that in February he told Mr Thirawat in front of other workers not to smoke in the factory. He suspected Mr Thirawat had bided his time until he was able to acquire a gun, and then attacked him. Mr Thirawat fled. Police initially charged Mr Thirawat with attempted premeditated murder and illegal use and possession of a firearm.
