» Nitiwadee Pucharoenyos, alias Doctor Nim, was sentenced to death last week by the Min Buri Provincial Court on a charge of murdering Jakkrit Panichpatikum, the national sharpshooter. The court ruled that Nitiwadee had hired gunman Jirasak Klinkhlai to kill Jakkrit, who was Nitiwadee's husband. In 2013, Tawatchai Phetchote drove a motorcycle for Jirasak to carry out the murder. Jakkrit was shot and killed by Jirasak, who used a semi-automatic 7.62mm Tokarev pistol.
