<p class="mol-para-with-font">Onlookers said Thanin and Wijai had started arguing after they arrived at court this morning to hear the verdict.<br />
The Chanthaburi Provincial Court said the two sides who had been engaged in a 10-year dispute over land carried on through several criminal and civil cases, frequently argued in previous hearings.<br />
Thai media reports the defendant Thanin Chantratip is the former deputy inspector-general of the Royal Thai Police Office.<br />
The defendant B<span style="color: var(--color-text);"> Bancha Porameesanaporn</span> was a high-profile lawyer who defended former prime minister Yingluck Shinawatra during her rice-pledging scheme case.<br />
Shocking images circulated on social media show bodies lying in a pool of blood in the courtroom.<br />

Police are investigating how people were able to bring in weapons into the courtroom.<br />
Police major general Charan Jitchuejun, deputy commander of Chanthaburi police, said an investigation had been opened into the shooting.<br />
<span style="color: var(--color-text);">He added: &#8216;We are sure that the culprit is Mr Thanin Chantratip and that the victim was his rival in court.<br />
</span>&#8216;The injured parties were the wife of the victim and two other lawyers.<br />
&#8216;The cause of the dispute is a civil lawsuit relating to land which has been going on for more than 10 years.<br />
&#8216;Three people are dead and currently two are injured from gunshot wounds.&#8217;</p>
