reader Posted October 18 Posted October 18 From The Thaiger A 91 year old German man committed suicide at his home in Samut Prakan province, near Bangkok, after his Thai girlfriend repeatedly asked him for money. He had reportedly lost more than 30 million baht to this woman. Officers from Bang Phli Police Station investigated the suicide of the 91 year old German, Bothmer Arnulf, at his home in the Bang Phli district of Samut Prakan province at about 2pm yesterday, October 17. Arnulf was found sitting on a wooden chair inside the house. The German man sustained a gunshot wound to his head, near his right ear. He was still alive when the police arrived, and the rescue team administered first aid before rushing him to a nearby hospital. Unfortunately, Arnulf passed away at the hospital. The .38 calibre gun used in the incident and two spent bullet casings were found near the chair. A Thai maid and gardener were present at the scene and provided accounts of the incident to the police. https://thethaiger.com/news/national/cash-out-old-german-man-ends-life-after-costly-romance khaolakguy and Ruthrieston 2 Quote

khaolakguy Posted October 18 Posted October 18 My money is on the maid, who was in collaboration with the gardener, who was really her husband. He had left them everything in his will as they were the closest people to him, and had looked after him in his last years. However they realised he was about to change his will to benefit Ms Goldigger. Anyway who commits suicide by shooting themselves in the head twice, or did he miss the first time? (two shells) Hey, 91 years old, we should be so lucky! TMax, floridarob and unicorn 3 Quote

There was a famous incident in Hong Kong years ago, where a well known policeman, macLennan, nvolved in a gay sex scandal, was said to have committed suicide by shooting himself 5 times with a .38 gun. He had been charged with homosexual offences, then illegal in Hong Kong. It was generally thought to be impossible to shoot yourself 5 times, with a heavy gun, though he had apparently left a suicide note. MacLennan knew of many gay scandals higher up the tree in HK, and there was concern he would name names. There were various enquiries, mostly of the whitewash variety, and the affair never satisfactorily explained. Books have been written, etc, and it is said that the affair led to the decriminalisation of homosexuality in HK. Quote

Maybe the simpler explanation is that one of those "names" forced him to write a "suicide note," and wanted to make sure he was dead. Then, of course, there are the Russian defenestrating "suicides," which rarely left behind notes. floridarob 1 Quote

It's kind of difficult to miss one's own head when holding a gun to one's head. Murder makes more sense to me. 🤔 Quote

But I agree that murder seems to be more probable reader and TMax 1 1 Quote

I was taught history well, and that made it interesting! 1618, in fact, but said to be two earlier in 15th century. Some South African police stations also had unreliable windows in the apartheid era.. Ruthrieston and unicorn 2 Quote

But I agree that murder seems to be more probable Strangely, there seem to be a number of cases where guys, normally guys, miss, when holding gun to head. Often just blow out their jaw. A shotgun in the mouth is fairly foolproof! Quote
