Husband faces detention, while taxi driver testifies about acid-splashed wife’s death

By The Nation

 

 

Police on Tuesday brought Kamtan Singhanart, 50, to apply to the Thon Buri Court’s order for a 12-day detention after he was accusedof splashing acid on his now-dead wife Chorladda Tharawan’s face before fleeing on November 9.

 

Chorladda succumbed to her injuries and died after she sought treatment at Praram 2 Hospital. That hospital reportedly sent her to Bang Mod Hospital where she was subscribed for the “gold card” universal healthcare scheme.

 

She died before Bang Mod Hospital could help her.

 

Praram 2 Hospital has been the focus of criticism from Chorladda’s family and netizens over allegations that they failed to treat her. The hospital maintains that the accusation is untrue.

 

A potential lawsuit is being considered against the hospital as outspoken lawyer Atchariya Ruangratanapong acts on behalf of the patient’s family.

 

Kamtan told police that he was not a cruel person after being arrested on Sunday night at his friend’s house in Nakhon Sawan. This was in line with his neighbour’s claim that Kamtan was normally a good man who did everything he could for his family at their rented home in Samae Dam sub-district. Neighbours have said they believe he committed the alleged crime on an impulse.

 

Police objected to Kamtan getting a bail release on the grounds that this case carried a severe penalty.

 

Meanwhile, a Bangkok cabbie who picked up the acid-wounded Chorladda and her accompanying 12-year-old daughter from Praram 2 Hospital to Bang Mod Hospital on November 9, told police on Monday evening that the woman was still conscious when she arrived at the second hospital.

 

This was contrary to the initial account by Chorladda’s daughter, who said her mother died on the way and that a Bang Mod Hospital doctor then tried to resuscitate her but was unable to bring her back.

 

Testifying as a witness to Tha Kham deputy superintendent Pol Lt-Colonel Sakhon Sriwattanakapong, taxi driver Sa-ngad Datchuyawat, 37, said a Bang Mod staff member pushing a gurney asked Chorladda whether she was still able to “hang in there” while being wheeled away.

 

Chorladda reportedly replied, “I cannot take it anymore”.

 

The taxi driver said he was told by the first hospital’s staff that Chorladda had sustained an injury from being scalded by boiling water and wanted to get a lift to Bang Mod Hospital, which staff said had already been informed of her transfer.

 

Lawyer Atchariya on Tuesday said about Sa-ngad’s testimony that it would not affect the lawsuit he intended to bring against Praram 2 Hospital.

 

No matter where the patient died, the important point was the taxi driver’s testimony that Chorladda was in a critical condition, said Atchariya.

 

The lawyer also revealed that he was the one who brought Sa-ngad from Nakhon Ratchasima to tell the truth to police so as to ensure transparency.

 

Atchariya said he would have a lawyer’s team meeting later on Tuesday as he sought for police and Public Health Ministry officials to probe the Praram 2 Hospital facility and the quality of its treatment, and to brainstorm a way to file legal actions against the hospital.

legal experts all to be sure; i guess it is ok then; 'your honor , i only killed those 37 people with a hatchet on an impulse'

Not sure whom to believe but there seem to be contradictions in the lawyers story.

 

I have the feeling he is "overmotivated"

May be smells a good business?

BS. 

 

Anyone doing what this piece of filth did is not a “good man”. 

 

Lock him up and throw away the key.

Husband Says ‘Love’ Motivated Him To Murder Wife With Acid

By Asaree Thaitrakulpanich, Staff Reporter

 

Kumtun Singnad with police Monday.

 

BANGKOK — When police escorted a man accused of killing his wife by splashing and forcing her to drink acid to the local court, one of his neighbors showed up to vouch for his character.

 

“I really pity him. He’s a good man. He took care of his family, But he had to see an image that pierced his heart, of the one he loved sleeping with other men. That’s why he did it,” the unidentified neighbor said. “Otherwise, all of us neighbors would have cursed him when he came to do the crime reenactment yesterday.”

Thats rather different to just "splashing her" , now we are getting to the bottom of this and how She died and what killed her , as splashing acid over someone isnt likely to kill them 

As Tina Turner would say "What's love got to do with it?"

I'm beginning to wonder if we will ever get to the bottom of this. I'll bet the original hospital will deny they were ever told the victim had ingested acid - whether or not they actually were.

It seems to be becoming more of a political football now, rather than anything resembling the truth.

How can you splash acid on impulse ? I was walking around the house with a cup of acid as I do on a daily basis and I suddenly "Splashed" it on my wife face without thinking

"However, much like the neighbor, many other men weighed in – especially online – to justify Chorlada’s murder."

 

 

Wow, just goes to show there are many sick males here who need serious mental health help, before this act is repeated.

Men like this with their fragile Thai male ego would be prime supporters promoting sharia law, given half the chance.

I notice a quite striking cartoon by Steph in today's Nation:

"But when we get behind closed doors

That's when he gets the acid out"

per old country and western song..

Ah the old 'I really loved her but she provoked me' gambit. Sadly there are way too many here who believe that  'she deserved it' bs just as his neighbour seems to.

and forcing her to drink acid

This part didn't make the first story, he deserves death penalty.

“I did it out of jealousy. I was jealous because I loved her,” Kumtun told reporters Monday.”

 

No, you didn’t love her, people who love someone, don’t use acid to kill the one they love. 

 

You did what you did because of your pathetic, fragile ego. 

 

You’re scum.

love and jealousy never go to together.

He  thought he owned her.

I hope this is not the definiton for love in Thailand

 

love never kills.

So now the taxi driver is a qualified doctor in assessing the passengers medical condition?

Clutching at straws... don't think that one will stand up in court.

The evidence is:

She requested to be taken to her hospital of choice where she was a subscriber to medical care.
She was NOT DEAD upon arrival at the hospital but conscious when she arrived , which had been informed of her transfer.

A hospital cannot hold you and treat you against your will... all treatments have to be consensual unless you are unconscious & in a life threatening situation.
She was conscious and aware of her condition, she requested to be moved to the hospital of her choice !!

Remember where we are.

If the bill hasn't been paid, then trying to leave a hospital is no easy matter. Money is the most important part of the hospital.

I know only through two patients having their passports taken by the hospital for alleged 'safe-keeping', and refusing to return them until the bill was settled in full.

Both cases required the intervention of the patient's embassy staff.

The doctor treating you will be liable if you walk out and you die.

Thats why they will not let you go voluntairy; you will have to sign a document set up by the doctor stating you understand your condition and take responsibility.

If you do try to walk away the doctor will need witnesses (or video evidence) to confirm you left without their consent. For that reason every ER has cameras installed.

 

She can request anything, but if the hospital let her go without having her sign anything they have a problem, a big problem.

What kind of acid was it ?

1) How do Thai police ALWAYS get the alleged person to admit to the crime

 

2) I would think an autopsy would clear up a lot of things such as time of death, did she drink it, was it water, how bad was she really, and much more. Does Thailand not do proper autopsies?

Unless he's mentally retarded, he should be locked-up just for taking the piss!

 

Plus another 30 years for being a murdering scumbag!

The story goes from splashing water on her to making her drink acid. Disgusting, he should be sent directly to jail, no bail is necessary. He should start serving his time. 

Acid was in the kitchen? Did he borrow it from a friend, Go out and buy it. Impluse , That is the ? ? ? ?.......

Ah the old 'I really loved her but she provoked me' gambit. Sadly there are way too many here who believe that  'she deserved it' bs just as his neighbour seems to.

Guy cheats on girl... hero... playboy..

Girl cheats on guy slut and deserves to die.

That is the mentality of some people probably those with self esteem or iq issues.

If a woman cheats just leave her so many more available.
