Chachoengsao woman badly burned in self-immolation

By The Nation

 

 

A Chachoengsao woman, possibly suicidal, was burned across 60 per cent of her body on Tuesday morning after dousing herself in petrol and lighting the fuel.

 

Neighbours on Soi Sujin in Muang district rushed to extinguish the fire and had Phatcharaporn Khuprasert, 32, taken to Phuttha Sothorn Hospital. 

 

Neighbour Thianthawat Prai-anan, 62, said he heard the sound of fire erupting and, seeing the flames in the yard next door, rushed over with water, only to realise that it was a person burning.

 

Neighbour Somjai Charoensuk, 44, said Phatcharaporn runs a clothing shop and sells clothes online.

 

She has a four-year-old son but has apparently been depressed since her husband divorced her.

 

Boontham Chanthawong, 46, said the woman had made several previous attempts on her life, as recently as Sunday night, when she was prevented from setting herself on fire at a temple crematorium.

 

Her grandmother, Chaliaw Khuprasert, 89, said Phatcharaporn had returned home early Tuesday morning with a five-litre container of petrol and walked to the back of the house.

 

Moments later the grandmother heard the neighbours shouting.

It is too bad that this girl didn't die --- as was her wish..........

surviving will mean that her life will be 'PURE HELL' now..... a couple years of horrible pain to begin with then untold other miseries...... she was not in her proper mind to do this to herself....

50 years (where I grew up in rural Florida) my older brother and I bought a small airplane to learn to fly..... My brother had already 'Solo-ed' so he was out flying one day and buzzer our home at the edge of the river and wound up crashing down into a big tree... The tree broke his fall and he survived.... but the fuel tank got ruptured and he was doused in gas as the plane fell to the ground...... He was able to climb out but he was on fire and was burned over 80% of his body........... He was most of the first year in the Hospital (in much pain) and then was bed confined at home for another year..... 2 years of horrible pain...... I still remember vividly..........

Pity for this girl for wanting to do this to herself...... She will have a very long time to regret it....
