Thai gunman kills five people at Bangkok market before taking own life, police say
A gunman has shot and killed five people at a popular fresh food market in Thailand before killing himself, local police say. The victims included security guards at the Or Tor Kor market in the Chatuchak district in Bangkok, according to a police statement. The Erawan Medical Center, which coordinates emergency medical services, reported two women were also injured. The market, next to the sprawling Chatuchak Market, carries all sorts of goods and is popular with Thai and foreign tourists. A video circulating online reportedly showed the shooter wearing a baseball cap and shorts walking in the market with a backpack strapped to his chest and a handgun in his right hand. Police said they were probing details about the suspect, including his motivation. Police General Kitrat Phanphet, chief of the national police force, said he has ordered city police to carry out their investigation quickly and gather all evidence, including closed-circuit video footage. Gun violence is not unusual in Thailand, which has fairly restrictive laws but also a high level of gun ownership. The last mass shooting incident in Bangkok was in October 2023, when a teenage boy, using a modified blank pistol, shot more than half a dozen people at the Paragon shopping mall in the city's main shopping district, killing three. One of the country's worst mass killings occurred in October 2022 in the north-eastern province of Nong Bua Lamphua, when a police sergeant, who had lost his job, used guns and knives to kill 36 people, including two dozen toddlers at a day care centre. In February 2020, a disgruntled Thai army soldier shot and killed 29 people, most at a shopping mall in the north-eastern city of Nakhon Ratchasima, before he was killed by police after an 18-hour stand-off.

Annabel Digance files lawsuit against SA premier, claiming she was a victim of prosecution
Former South Australian MP Annabel Digance has launched a $2.3 million lawsuit against Premier Peter Malinauskas, claiming that he led a "malicious prosecution" in an attempt to damage her reputation. Documents filed in the Supreme Court by Ms Digance, against Mr Malinauskas and the State of South Australia, claim the former MP was a victim of a prosecution "motivated by [the premier's] own personal and political advantage". Ms Digance and her husband, Greg Digance, were previously facing blackmail charges in the Adelaide Magistrates Court after allegedly threatening to make allegations of misconduct against Mr Malinauskas in 2020 — when he was leader of the opposition. Those charges were dropped in April 2023. The court documents, filed by Sydney-based law firm Carroll & O'Dea Solicitors on behalf of Ms Digance, claim she was "maliciously prosecuted" by Mr Malinauskas, SA Police and the Director of Public Prosecutions. "The Applicant also alleges trespass to person and property, wrongful arrest and false imprisonment by the SA Police," the document reads. The document goes on to claim that Mr Malinauskas was "motivated to maximise his own and SA Labor's prospects of success at the 2022 state election" and that he, or a member of the SA Police, had provided information to the media in an attempt to "maximise the public humiliation of Mrs Digance". In a statement to ABC News, the premier said he was not surprised by the lawsuit. "It is not surprising the Digances have chosen to take this course of action, considering their previous behaviour," he said. "All I have ever wanted is for the Digances to leave me alone. "The Digances won't distract me from delivering for the people of South Australia." The case is due to be heard in the Supreme Court on Wednesday.
