He must have a HUGE mental illness to do something like that. Horrible!

Perhaps some ya ba was involved.

Horrible crime ............. BUT the discovery is a bit strange,

Can't think of any time in my life where I've walked into someones empty house and opened their fridge or even more unlikely freezer.

 

Almost as if she knew what she was looking for.

Many Thais have no conception of privacy.  They walk in your house - no knocking, they snoop in your shopping bags they parade through your property as if it was there own.  So snooping in the fridge is not unusual.

YES I thought so too, and no mention of blood also strange

you would have to measure the distance across a head etc ….. and how many cubic litres the fridge is ...

also was other frozen stuff taken out so the parts would fit ….

many unanswered questions.

 

RIP. 

And the extra space added for the door being ajar, would also depend how finely the body had been cut up. He obviously did not have a weak stomach.

I can most certainly agree with you on that one ! to the point of them nicking a beer under your nose.

from yesterday evening's long telly coverage of this tragic event,
it seems there are quite a few people who believe the guy did not do it.
maybe denial,
maybe inconsistencies between state of mind and crime committed,
whatever,
propose to let the Forensic experts do their job before speculating .

The fridge was ajar so any decent person would try to close the fridge and this case I guess it would not close because of body parts holding it open.

My wife developed paranoid schizophrenia after 5 years and we stayed together for another 15 years. It is the worst of all mental illnesses and for me even illness like cancer is better because one day you might going to die from it but schizophrenia never stops. She is never harmful to herself or others but when she is in the phase of a psychosis she doesn't sleep, drink or eat and suddenly runs out of the house. I had to find her more than 5 times somewhere in Bangkok in the middle of the night. She lost 6 kg in 7 days but still had enormous strength.

He probably heart voices that told him to do this crime. For these people, the voices are more real than when we talk to them. It is a terrible crime, RIP, but he can't be held accountable for this and he suffers as well.

Thai media Sanook reported that the son had been suffering from mental illness. 

YA THINK???

RIP to the poor lady, and the son saved the courts and jail money and

time by shooting himself.  Mental illness is no joke. Tragic event, and I am sure the family

and friends of the lady are all mourning her death.

Geezer

Tragic. This guy needed help but mental health issues here are not treated as they should be. The Government should make provisions, but in a country where more people die on the roads than any other I doubt it will happen any time soon.

Exactlt. Mental health problems are a huge issue here but there are no real treatment centers for it. thus the people suffering with them get no help and keep getting worse. I was about to compare to china.  but then realized china dose lot more to take care of their people then what thailand does as a result of more money and sp forth. Things thailand lacks to be able to put such things into place.

Technically speaking you do have a point.  But convictions do occur against the insane if it is determined that he had some degree of compos mentis.  The mental illness may mitigate liability but not complete absolve his actions.  So you can be a criminal and insane.  There is a very grey area that judges frequently need to decide on.  

 

One who refrigerates their own mother is insane. What more proof do you need? I am persuaded. 

 

 

That must be one incredible toilet. Mine can't even take toilet paper

Perhaps a more developped and publicized appeal to the general public saying that mental disorders are not taboo and require proper assessment and treatment. Invite the people to get help when the symptoms start....could help prevent at least some such tragic situations ?

Their is no such measurement as a cubic litre.   A litre is 1000 cubic cm.
