Police were called to a condominium in the Thonburi area west of Bangkok on New Year's Eve after a former soldier went berserk. 

 

Thana, 56, had been drinking with his ex wife Ratana, 42, a pub worker. 

 

Police said he had tried to reconcile with her on the occasion of her birthday on December 31st. When his attempts failed he slashed her neck with a knife and killed her. 

 

The lady's mother, Yee, 70, tried to intervene and was injured in both wrists. 

 

Thana then jumped 18 floors and was severely injured. He subsequently died. 

 

In all happened in Soi Therdthai 33.

 

Pol Col Manop Sukhonthanaphat of the region 8 met police said the couple had been drinking since the 30th. 

 

There was some good news - Ratana's ten year old son escaped injury though Sanook suggested that he was witness to the terrible events.

IDK, but let's assume they started drinking 8 or 9 PM, then went to her place 5 hours later to 'celebrate' her birthday. That's not a long time for drinking.

Weird reporting. The boy is now an orphan and has been severely traumatized by seeing not just his father ( stepfather ? ) kill his mother, but then throw himself to his death. That is good news ??

Amazing that he wasn't killed instantly.

I have an old friend from Vancouver where exactly the same thing happened. The guy game home early and found his wife in bed with his "best friend", he got his shotgun and sent them both to oblivion, did 14 years inside.

 

The moral of this story is that there's only one person in the world that you can ever trust 100%, yourself.

But it says that it was because of his failure to reconcile with his former wife ! Sad but that would appear to be enough of a motive ????

I have a suspicion you may be suffering from thread drift.

How, it's the same event & situation - different country.

In some ways human nature is the same the world-over.

Don't get it. If I split with the wife for good at lunch time, I'd be down the bar by evening looking for a new Mrs. or at least a change from the norm 30 years younger ????

Yet another example of fragile male ego syndrome.

Thais can absorb alcohol very well better than foreigners...

In your story, who was it that could trust him/her self?  The cheating wife, his back stabbing best friend, or the guy who did something that got himself locked up for 14 years?

Some children when they get bored with a toy will break it so no other kid can play with it or enjoy it.

A "crime of passion". The perp was probably in a rage? Sometimes I've heard people say when they're on trial for a crime that it was a "moment of madness", the "red-mist" had descended.

The point being, this was his wife and who he thought was his best friend, both of whom he couldn't trust.

Haven't we all had the dirty done us by people who we thought were "friends"? And if you think you haven't, it's probably just because you weren't aware of it.
