Prominent Nakhon Pathom Sub-district Chief Opens Fire on Pork Farm Owner in Black BMW with Red License Plate After Pub Confrontation
A Nakhon Pathom sub-district chief shot a pork farm owner in the head outside a pub early May 12 after a jealousy-fueled confrontation over the suspect's ex-wife, police said.
A shocking shooting incident unfolded in central Nakhon Pathom when a sub-district chief allegedly fired on a local pork farm owner. The incident appears to have roots in a jealousy dispute, as the victim had been associating with the suspect's ex-wife, a market vendor at Sri Wichai Market in Nakhon Pathom city. The two reportedly encountered each other at a restaurant, engaged in a heated argument, and later the shooting occurred outside an entertainment establishment in Sanam Chan subdistrict around 2 a.m. on May 12, 2025. The victim, 54-year-old Udom Phong, a pork farm owner, was found in a black BMW with a red license plate, having sustained a severe head wound from a .38 caliber gunshot. Police arrived to provide first aid and transport him to the hospital for emergency treatment. At the scene, officers recovered a firearm from inside the vehicle. The suspect, identified as Khom Sak, or "Kamnaan Jiew," the sub-district chief of Don Yai Hom in Muang district, waited at the scene and confessed to the shooting. A second firearm was discovered on his person during a search. He was taken into custody for further questioning at Muang Nakhon Pathom Police Station.
