He was said to have bought the gun and ammunition legally last year.

According to Daily Trust, police officer, Matichon Wongbaokul, from northeastern Nakhon Ratchasima province, who confirmed the sad incident said:
“They had an argument on private matters and Chaturong walked to his car and picked up a gun before shooting.”
According to local media, Chaturong and Kanchana had lived together for three years before they married.
He had lost his right leg while on duty with the paramilitary light infantry force, which patrols Thailand's borders.
