BANGKOK--Thailand's Senate on Monday voted to deny a request by the police to question one of its members who shot his ex-wife at the dinner table with an Uzi 9mm pistol. He has said the gun went off while he was trying to remove a jammed bullet.

Upper house lawmakers voted 94-2 to uphold Boonsong Kowawisarat's constitutional right to immunity during the parliamentary session. Under the constitution, a lawmaker cannot be arrested, detained or summoned as a suspect in a criminal inquiry during a parliamentary session without permission from the house.

“After the session ends on Nov. 28 police can take him for questioning,” Senator Somchai Sawaengkarn told AFP. “A senator should do his job during a parliamentary session.”
