Police suspect the shooting may have been done by youngsters but had not ruled out an internal dispute or a farmers’ rage about overdue rice payment as a possible motive, Pol Colonel Sermsak Neunuan of Muang Kalasin police station said.
Branch manager Napachara Makhumlek said a farmer’s rage over the rice-pledging payment was less likely as the branch had only 800 farmers awaiting payments worth Bt55 million.
