>Songkhla, Thailand - A man who shot dead a hospital director and seven others during a drinking party over the weekend surrendered Friday.
Vinus Chukamnerd, 52, contacted police to take him into custody from a spot in Krabi at 6 am.
He was taken to Songkhal to re-enact the crime.
Vinus claimed that he became angry that the eight people, including Doctor Suthatip Thammachart, director of Namom Hospital in Songkhla, were making loud noises during drinking inside their house located next to Vinus' house.
He said he had earlier warned Suthatip's family not to make noises at night as he needed to wake up early to work in a rubber plantation
He shot the eight with an automatic pistol at late Saturday night and fled to Krabi.
Songkhla police chief Pol Maj Gen Wirun Iampaijit said Vinus decided to surrender because he found it hard to continue on the run.
