sriracha john Posted March 24, 2006 Share Posted March 24, 2006 bbc.co.uk Thai man charged after stab death A Thai man has been charged with murder after his British son-in-law was found stabbed, police said today. Mark Jones, 42, was stabbed in the back on Wednesday night at his home in Pak Chong district in Nakorn Ratchasima. Police Major Jaran Pankratok said Mr Jones had been with his Thai wife Saichai Chantee for about two years and the couple had a one-year-old son. A Foreign Office spokeswoman said that the victim was originally from Colchester in Essex. Mr Jones's father-in-law has been charged with the offence of premeditated murder and released on bail. Ian Proud, a spokesman for the British Embassy in Bangkok, Thailand, said: "Obviously the matter is now under investigation but we are aware of the situation. "I know consular staff have been working with the Foreign Office in London since receiving notification of the matter. "As this is still the subject of an investigation and it would be inappropriate to say more." Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

If the father-in-law's name turns out to be the same as two other famous Somchai's released on bail with pre-meditated charges (Kanchanaburi cop and Bang Saen Godfather), I will literally fall out of my chair.

sriracha john Posted March 24, 2006 Author Share Posted March 24, 2006 (edited) *repetitious information deleted* Briton Killed In Thailand Police in the Pak Chong area said Mark Jones, 42, was stabbed twice in the back last night. He would not give details of the case, saying only that it was a "family matter" that involved "marital problems". The stabbing happened at Son (staying in my chair) Chantee's home, 75 miles north east of Bangkok, he added. She said his next of kin had been informed and a family liaison officer had been appointed.

dan10400 Posted March 24, 2006 Share Posted March 24, 2006 Saw this story about a British guy who was killed by his father in law, supposedly because he was beating his wife. My wife was kind of incredulous about it because she says she has never heard the case where the father in law kills the Thai husband... Anyway, I haven't seen this in the English lanuage press. Anybody else catch anything about this? Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

thaibites0 Posted March 24, 2006 Share Posted March 24, 2006 The story in the Thai media is that the guy was a drunk and when be got drunk he beat his wife. When the father-in-law stabbed him the guy was trying to strangle his wife and the F-in-L was unable to pull him off and so he grabbed a knive and stabbed him. Bit to early for the media to be making up things yet so it's quite possibly true. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
