Picture: Daily News

 

Daily News reported that Lt-Col Praphas Bunsingh of the Lomsak police in Phetchabun in central north east Thailand responded after reports of a murder in the district.

 

In the bedroom of a two story house they found a 33 year old woman dead in bed with neck wounds. She had been deceased 2-3 hours.

 

On the floor was her 36 year old husband who was barely alive but still had a pulse.

 

He had apparently taken the 20 cm fruit paring that was found next to him to his own neck in a suicide attempt.

 

He is in a coma in Lomsak hospital.

 

The mother of the woman said there was no indication that this would happen.

 

Her son-in-law gave up drink a year ago and didn't even smoke. 

 

Though among relatives it was known that he was a very jealous man and that was probably what caused him to attack her daughter.

 

They have two children, girls aged 10 and 12.

It's deeply ingrained into Thai culture, in which boys are allowed to do whatever they want, with discipline non-existent. And so when someone doesn't do exactly as he wants in later life it comes as a shock and he often responds with violence.

 

My sister-in-law is looking after a young kid - not hers, but belonging to her daughter who in (again) time-honoured Thai culture can't be bothered or is unable to raise her own child. And it is perfectly obvious to me in watching him that he too will be a serious troublemaker down the line. I've already seen him pretend to stab my brother-in-law who annoyed him. He's six.
