murder & tragedy fatal incidents in both hua hin and cha am

hua hin, THAILAND Last week saw two foreigners die in separate incidents locally, one a murder, the other a tragic accident. The first occurred in Cha Am on Thursday (2nd April) at Lek’s Restaurant Switzerland, where two Norwegian men, Lars Arne Fjeldsbo, 54, and Stine Somchai Husoy, 59, who were apparently business partners in Norway, argued over a loan that couldn’t be repaid. This ended when the older man fetched a gun from his motorbike and shot Fjeldsbo dead with two bullets behind the ear, before turning the gun and shooting himself in the face. Husoy survived and is in hospital under police guard. The second incident took place on Friday (3rd April) when, according to reports from a variety of sources, a Scottish man, Iain Mackay, 40, went to the pool shop and bar, Master Cues, run by the Thai girl he had been seeing, Patty Patrick, at around 3am, after drinking heavily, and then proceeded to smash what is presumed to be a window at the bar by kicking it; in doing so he tragically severed an artery in his leg which resulted in him bleeding to death, despite the best efforts of an ambulance crew and Hua Hin Hospital. Some reports have suggested that Mr Mackay was angry because he had seen Ms Patrick with another man, but she gave an interview to the press and stated that they had separated amicably and at his suggestion some time after his arrival in Thailand on 22nd March. Incidents such as these are not common in this area, which is why it is so surprising to have two so close to each other, but it is often said that high temperatures do lead to a statistical rise in murders and accidental deaths, however we would suggest that alcohol also played its part, certainly in Mr Mackay’s case, and probably in Cha Am too. We offer our sincerest condolences to all family and friends of the deceased.
