PHUKET: The Phuket Provincial Court on Monday (Feb 19) issued an arrest warrant for a man who last Friday cut off his wife’s hand during a heated argument.

 

Lt Chanat Hongsuttichaikun of the Chalong Police told The Phuket News’ Thai-language sister paper Khao Phuket today (Feb 21), “After checking we found that the suspect is of an unknown nationality. He lived with Yaowapa Kowai, 47, as a husband and wife. He did not have a Thai ID card, but local residents told us the man goes by the name ‘Kam’. At this stage we believe he is Laotian.

 

“An arrest warrant has been issued for attempt murder, and we are now hunting for the suspect so he can be brought in to face legal action,” Lt Chanat said.

I guess this guy will be back in Lao by now safe in the knowledge that neither the victims nor the police really know who he is.

I'm guessing the hunting is when they go to the 7/11 for a nibble and a comfort break

Neither of these comments are even slightly funny.

 

A 47 year old woman is permanently disabled, she will likely be unable to work again, will struggle to earn money and you try and make jokes ?

 

You are below scum.

Apologies for the 'off hand' remark.
