‘Jealous' wife leads police to politician’s grave

By The Nation

 

 

The decomposed body of a 46-year-old politician, who went missing from his home in Chanthaburi on April 15, was found after his 50-year-old newly married wife confessed to shooting him dead in a fit of jealousy.

 

Tambon Wang Mai administration member Songsak Phermsuk's body was wrapped in a plastic sheet with a nylon rope. It was dug up by a backhoe at 7pm on Tuesday from his wife Benjawan Thaijia's durian orchard in Tha Mai district. Police brought the woman to point out the three-metre-deep grave. 

 

Deputy national police chief General Weerachai Songmetta witnessed the operation but the media was denied access. 

 

Songsak's son from his previous marriage, Purisadang Phermsuk, told reporters that the family reported him missing with the Tha Mai police on April 15. 

 

He also filed a petition with the Royal Thai Police in Bangkok.

If only all Thailand's politicians wives were like that, they would do the nation a great service.

Doesn't sound like she concealed the body alone. Unless she can operate a backhoe herself.

Has anyone at the distinguished RTP asked themselves the question how the wife managed to excavate a three-meter-deep hole? I doubt she did it alone.

Backhoe from the Durian Orchard?

And tell me why a lady should not be able to operate a back hoe ? Women do much of the work in Thailand anyway and it sounds like you are a misogynist.

I wonder if Prayut has any concubines hiding in the closet that his wife might freak out over, hmmmm.

Hmm, maybe you're right she looks the type who could pull it off. I thought she would be the dainty, small, delicate type.

This is a grave topic, how can you be so flippant?

Come on Mrs Prayuth, don't be outdone by a mere farmer

The modern backhoes hardly require much physical effort to operate anyway so even a small person are able to operate them.

Does it say somewhere if she turned herself in or if they found out it was her ?

I agree that when I read "50 yo politician's wife" I don't really picture a person able to move a body around and dig such a hole.

hope he was not a member of Phalang Pracharat party, it would be bad publicity for Prayut and it may give Mrs. Prayut some ideas

Why  not, many women can and do operate bigger and more  complex equipment than a piddly little backhoe.

You do talk a load of rot or are you just trolling ? Well clearly you are the one that should educate yourself.   by the way because you must not know that Thai airways like many others, have female pilots, now that really is the top echelons of modern machinery.
