On 23 Dec, Thai authorities in Phatthalung, Thailand, found a 50-year-old man lying lifeless across his motorcycle.
The assailant, a 56-year-old garbage truck driver identified as Warongkorn, had shot and killed his neighbour following a noise complaint.
The incident occurred at about 10.20pm in Tha Madua subdistrict.
According to the police, Warongkorn and his next-door neighbour, Sriphrai, were not on good terms.
They have been in conflict for more than a year because Warongkorn usually held social gatherings at home and caused loud noise during the nights.

On the day of the incident, Sriphrai engaged in another argument with Warongkorn after returning home from running an errand.
As the confrontation became heated, Warongkorn subsequently grabbed his gun and shot him at close range.
The victim’s 23-year-old son, Anek, was also shot in his right buttock while trying to help his father.
He was later taken to a hospital for treatment.
