Husband arrested after he shot wife's lover in bath at resort in NE - young man "messed with the wrong guy"

[webfact]

Thai Rath reported on a violent crime at a resort in the Phuphaman police jurisdiction in Khon Kaen, north eastern Thailand.

 

A man called Yuthaphan Phuangnuam, 27, took a woman named only as "B", 39, to a resort in the scenic area.

 

They rented Room 3.

 

The husband of the woman found out on social media that they were in the area. He drove his Mercedes Benz and stayed in a resort 1 km away.

 

He then borrowed a staff member's motorcycle and went looking for his wife and her lover at several resorts saying that he was looking for his wife who had forgotten to tell him exactly where she was staying, according to police.

 

When he found out where they were he rented room #4 next to the couple and bided his time.

 

When the couple were in the room - with Yuthphan in an outside jacuzzi style bath and "B" sitting in a wicker chair he burst in through a curtain.

 

He used a 9 mm gun to shoot Yuthaphan once in the neck and twice in the torso.

 

Police found the victim floating in the bloodied bath dressed only in a pair of black shorts. Three shell casings were at the scene.

 

The assailant then drove his wife off with him in her Honda Civic abandoning the bike.

 

Fearing for her life the police soon found the assailant with her in the Civic and took a 9mm gun into evidence.

 

A 40 year old man called Rungroj Thianyoi is helping police with their inquiries.

He was previously involved in a murder and attempted murder case in 2012 in Samut Sakhon.

 

He had also faced gun offences in Samut Sakhon and Khon Kaen.

 

ASEAN NOW notes that it appears the victim in the case messed with the wrong man.

 

Friends told Thai Rath that the deceased had only just met B.

 

His mother in tears at the scene said that he was a warehouseman in Khon Kaen and that he had earlier left the house not saying where he was going.

 

He had never had any trouble with anyone.

 

Until now.

 

Investigations continue with a news conference from police expected to give more details today.

Really? what about all those serious offences from before or as his mother she's  blind and ignorant to admit her son's crimes?...

[robblok]

What idiots woman are not property and shooting someone for cheating with a wife is just stupid

 

Divorce the wife that is it. Shooting her or her lover is childish and in this case pre meditated. 

 

Cant say it happened all of a sudden. This was murder simple.

Adults are allowed to have sex. The guy with the gun should be executed.

It was probably posting about it on social media that led to the terminal loss of face

Forget being arrested. The police are gonna hire him!

Let's see. 9mm gun, man 27 , B was 39. Rented room 3 , he rented room 4. The hubby started off 1k away.  Surely these add up to a lottery winning , I will ask 'er indoors.

[Gottfrid]

Good job! Mission accomplished! Now he will be lock up and his wife can really have a lot of fun for many years to come.

The guy has a Mercedes and he was involved in a murder case and gun issues previously.

 

What say it goes down as a brown bag of "compensation" and a donation to the Policeman's Ball fund and he walks away ?

[crazykopite]

He was wearing black shorts in the bath ! RIP to the deceased

I wonder if he even knew she was married.

 

Decades ago I met a woman on Koh Samed who acted like she had fallen head over heels in love with me. We ended up leaving the island together, traveling to Surin, and separating after that because of my itinerary. A week later, finding I missed her and wanted to see her again, I went back to Koh Samed to try and find her.

 

At first she was no where to be found. Finally, someone told me that she was actually married and her husband had found out about our trip to Surin. I finally met up with her and she was giving me a farewell massage on the beach when suddenly her husband appeared with a large piece of lumber in his hand - perfect for bashing my skull in. I was just learning Thai at the time, but somehow managed to tell him I didn't know she was his wife and how sorry I was. But ever since then, I have always double checked marital status before getting involved.

 

Haven't been back to Koh Samed since.

It was the mother of the victim who was quoted.

There. A lesson to those who love to post their entire life on social media with up-to-date location and everything under the sun. Including the sun.

..his wife will come back to him now for sure...and visit him in prison with his favourite food...and sob uncontrollably on cue.

[khunpa]

Clearly not the smartest husband in the world. His Mercedes must be very old.

you cannot say that as many women lie ....    he may not have known she was married ...  we don't know ..

what if she lied to him and said she wasn't with anyone at this time or she left her husband a year ago.

That is a key question on who you would rage on first (yes, inappropriate but humans lose it over significant others).  Most likely...yeah, with an older woman like that he probably knew.  And it was probably in her phone too.

Despite pics of me and my lil miss on her social media, there is no end to guys DMing her, asking her out, and trying to persuade her to "keep it our little secret, he never needs to know" messages.

Many guys have no integrity.
