Man caught on camera shooting his office lover as she shopped with another man

Thailand: A married boss who had an affair with an employee was filmed shooting her dead in a jealous rage after spotting her shopping with another man.

Green-eyed love rat Norapat Petcharaporn, 45, was at a supermarket in southern Thailand when he came across lover Tada Yangsathit, 38, with Sorasit Eiewkarnna, 41, who he thought was her new boyfriend.

Petcharaporn, the boss of an administrative region in southern Thailand's Chumphon Province, is married but had an affair with Yangsathit, his deputy, which she had ended a few days earlier.

Confronting the pair as they looked at mobile phones, Petcharaporn is seen pushing Eiewkarnna before pulling out a gun and and firing at the man - who was a stranger she had met moments before.

After missing he turns the pistol on Yangsathit and shoots her three times.

Horrified witness Boonsanong Uwanno, 33, said: "I was walking towards them when I saw one of the men begin yelling at the other.

"He was very angry and accused the man of stealing his girlfriend.

"The other man said he didn’t know what he was talking about and said they weren’t together.

"And then the man pulled out a gun and began shooting. I then saw the woman fall as he shot her repeatedly in the chest and left her lying in a pool of blood."

A police spokesman said: "After fleeing the scene in his pick-up truck he later handed himself in saying he had acted out of jealousy.

"The woman had apparently finished her relationship with the accused a few days before but he was unable to accept it, despite being already married.

"The man she was with in the supermarket was a stranger she had met him only a few minutes earlier and they had been discussing mobile phones."

Petcharaporn now faces life in jail for first-degree murder and for illegal possession of a firearm.
