Superintendent of Kapho police, Colonel Adul Pinaebango, 53, fatally shot himself just before he was due to visit a doctor for stress-related treatment on Monday.
“Accumulated stress had driven him to depression. A high-level police officer had not granted him any leave for family visits. He was also pressured to produce progress on many cases,” Adul’s wife Chutima said.
She said her husband had told her about his stress when they talked on the phone and when she visited him in Pattani. Chutima has lived in Narathiwat.
