Father miraculously survives after ‘alcoholic’ son allegedly damages his skull with hoe

By THE NATION

 

 

An “alcoholic” man, who attempted suicide before, severely wounded his father by allegedly hitting the back of the man’s head with a hoe in Nang Rong district, Buriram.

 

Locals there told reporters the man’s name was Samart, 39. He allegedly hit his father’s occipital bone (the main bone of the occiput – the back and lower part of the skull) with a hoe when the man was sleeping in a cradle installed in the house. 

 

Miraculously, the father, 61, did not die from the blow or the wound. 

 

On seeing what happened, relatives and locals intervened to stop Samart from going further and killing his father. He left the scene after allegedly committing the crime. 

 

The injured man was rushed to Nang Rong Hospital.

 

The locals revealed that Samart tried to kill himself before allegedly committing the crime. He had previously shouted “kill me please” and tried to hang himself from a big tree in house garden. However, the branch he was hanging from broke and he fell to the ground.

 

Police are now waiting for Samart’s father to file a complaint so they can take action against Samart.

 

Samart’s aunt Shin Nokeiang, 68, said Samart was an alcoholic but had not attacked anyone before. However, she now lives in fear that he will return and possibly attack other family members or neighbours. She wants the police to nab him as quickly as possible and send him for treatment to cure his alcohol addiction.

Miraculously  survived ? In a state that leaves him unimpaired and capable of making a  complaint?  Is the  law so inadequate that an unprovoked (apparently) attack needs a "complaint" to be lodged?

Not very smart guy , this Samart ...

Alcoholism and addiction to Yaba or similar drugs seems to be a huge problem for many Thai families .

There are Temples in Thailand that offer a cure to drug addicts , it's an unpleasant procedure , includes a lot of vomiting , but for the sake of the thai family , they should send their addicts there ... before violence within the family occurs ...

That's insane. He should've been arrested and put in jail as soon as he caved his dad's head in.  

With the logic that the police are using, if the old man dies there would be no charges

No one to report the crime no charge 

Maybe he was just getting a haircut.
