Found near him was a .38 revolver with three bullets remaining in the ammunition chamber. Twelve other rounds of ammunition were also found in his trouser’s pocket.
Sukanya Chandet, 32, his ex-wife, was shot twice in the abdomen and seriously injured. She was rushed to hospital and treated in an intensive care unit. Mrs Uthissa Khamdeenok, an elder sister of Pitsanu, said her brother married to Ms Sukanya for 14 years and they had two sons before they separated.
She said her brother had tried to make amends but not successful. On Dec 25, he went to the school on a motorcycle and waited to see Ms Sukanya. A schoolteacher told police that when Ms Sukanya came out, she refused to accept his plea for her to return to him. Phitsanu became angry and fired two shots at her with the revolver, seriously wounding her, before shooting himself to death. Scource: Thai PBS
