A decorated Thai para-athlete murdered his bride and four other people at their wedding reception before turning his gun on himself, police said Monday.
Chaturong Suksuk, 29, an ASEAN Para Games silver medallist, shot bride Kanchana Pachunthuek, her mother and sister at the wedding in northeastern Thailand on Saturday.
"They had an argument on private matters and Chaturong walked to his car and picked up a gun before shooting," said Matichon Wongbaokul, a police officer from northeastern Nakhon Ratchasima province.
He said Chaturong shot his bride and four others before killing himself.

Gun violence is common in Thailand, where guns are readily available both legally and illegally.
While mass shootings are usually rare, the attack comes months after a mall assault last month that left three dead.
