Details of the harrowing crime were given this week by senior police officers in Phetchaburi province who revealed that legal proceedings against Chantima Wongwatkee are underway for intentionally killing the older woman after she was discovered embezzling funds and committing fraud.

 

A 26 year old woman in Phetchaburi is being charged with murder after the body of a 70-year-old woman was found at her home in the Tha Yang district of the province last Friday. The young woman told police that she had killed the older woman while driven by an uncontrollable ‘mood swing’ after being confronted with embezzlement charges by her grandmother which she admitted to police this week were true.

I suppose she is pleading guilty to get her sentence reduced to half, if not less.

 

Strange culture as it appears best to not come up with the truth, why, because loss of face can send them into a fit of rage.

 

RIP

What a sad story.  And it took her 3 attempts to actually kill her.

Un-controllable mood swing, yet premeditated and fully planned?

Not at all, simply Thainess

Majority here are born with sticky fingers; some will live with Relatives until the old ones die to get their hands on any riches while others grow tired of waiting, seen similar cases twice in our Village in the last five years.

I would like to know how often in west youngsters have murdered their own grandparents and/or parents. I'm not saying it's worse here, but it appears to be reported a little too often in recent months.

 

And this 'culture' is one of revering and respecting one's elders. Or maybe that's where some of the problem may lie... they're encouraged/convinced/forced to trust and believe their elders from birth... then when they realise most of it was convenient lies, they lose so much respect that they turn to murder. Very sad.

You make a good point. The disillusionment many young Thais today feel when they realize, through the internet, that they've been brought up on BS and lies is very strong.
