Slap on the head costs woman her life

By The Nation

 

 

A motorbike taxi rider surrendered to police on Tuesday for reportedly stabbing her workmate out of anger, which she said had been building for two years. 

 

Thongthae Janmun arrived at Wang Thonglang police station at 4pm to confess that she had committed a murder that morning. She said the conflict was not related to work, as they usually picked up passengers from different places, but that she and the victim often had personal clashes. 

 

That morning, the victim had slapped Thongthae on her head, which infuriated her. So, she pulled out a knife and stabbed the other woman. 

 

Thongthae has been charged with intention to murder, which will result in a sentence. 

 

A small conflict erupted at the police station when the victim’s family tried to attack Thongthae.

I'm not sure what worries me more about Thailand.

Lunatic males with guns or mad women with knives.

If nothing else this place is not dull and boring

"Thongthae has been charged with intention to murder"....

 

huh?

sounds tiny bit more than intention to me:

 

"Thongthae Janmun arrived at Wang Thonglang police station at 4pm to confess that she had committed a murder"

 

 

The result of that sentence diminishes the richer you are so expect a long stretch ????Rip  

Thank God the people I know don’t carry knives or guns on themselves

They're all little hotheads  , acting without any consideration for the consequences of their acts ...

"So, she pulled out a knife and stabbed the other woman."

Obviously, normal kit for a motorcycle taxi rider .......and I thought a samurai sword was the weapon of choice.....

It's paradise if you can stomach it !

These stories make me wonder just how many Thai carry a knife or gun on them or in their car/motorbike on a regular basis.

 

 

You gotta love this one: Thongthae has been charged with intention to murder, which will result in a sentence. Duh! Is this a civilized nation, or not? There is no doubt that the woman who was killed deserved some punishment. Death is a bit extreme. But, most of the time you slap someone on the head, you can expect a reaction. In this case, it is likely she was an abusive and highly arrogant person, who behaved like this often. Oh well.

Better to ask how many don't.

Only reason I never bought a gun when I lived in the US. So many (deserving) 'pricks'... ????

Yes, many years ago I was knifed, plant potted and ashtrayed all by the same woman. She had anger issues. ????

A friend of mine was stabbed by his wife. She was very sorry and blamed Pre Menstrual Tension. They are still together. I've recommended he buys a stab vest for the menopause which isn't far away

She obviously knows the drill. Didn't even wait for the police to invite her to pop into the station whenever she had the time.

The "victim" slapped her and the person assaulted stabbed her.  That was excessive force, but she was provoked and attacked.   These are mitigating circumstances, and I wonder to what degree the judge will reduce the punishment. ??

More than you'll think.

My girlfriend warned me more than 20 years ago about the incalculable character of the Thai people.

And YES, she was also Thai....

Teachers beware don't slap the kids.

I still find it difficult to grasp, after all these years, why normal people doing normal jobs carry a knife with them. What is it I am missing?

Have you slapped them on the head and checked?

Because you p**s them off? 

 

Thank you, God. 

I'd ALWAYS been told not to touch a Thai's head. The dead woman knew what she was doing. Not all the perps fault in that society.
