Worried about girlfriend leaving him, policeman shoots himself

A police lance corporal worried about being jilted by his girlfriend turned his gun on himself and died early Saturday.

Pol Lance Corporal Pongnarin Jajee, 23, from Phaholyothin Police Station, fired a bullet into his right temple with his .38 revolver, Pol Captain Sutthinai Athomprommrat, deputy inspector of Thung Song Hong Police Station, said.
When officers from the Thung Song Hong Police Station arrived at the scene they found Pongnarin’s girlfriend, Rinna Thaworn, 25, crying beside his body near the bed.
Rinna told police that she had a dispute with Pongnarin late Friday night after the policeman suspected that she might leave him for her former boyfriend. Rinna said Pongnarin became jealous when he learned that her ex-boyfriend also worked in her office.
Rinna said the policeman threatened to kill himself with his revolver but she managed to calm him down and take away his gun. She then went to sleep and was woken up by the sound of gunfire. She found Pongnarin had shot himself.
