A Thai man stabbed his wife to death in Lopburi province, central Thailand, today before attempting to commit suicide by driving his Chevrolet pickup truck into the Chao Phraya River in Phra Nakhon Sri Ayutthaya province. However, the killer was saved by one of his relatives who happened to be fishing at the riverbank.

 

This morning, officers at Ban Kum Police Station were informed that a woman was stabbed to death at a house in the Ngio Rai subdistrict of Mueang Lopburi district. Upstairs, police found the body of 30 year old Yuwadee Phakhai – who was stabbed 21 times – lying on a bed sodden with blood. On the stairs, police found a bloody, bent knife.

 

Yuwadee’s 18 year old sister Achariya Phakhai testified to the police that she heard her sister scream several times at 8am before falling silent. Achariya said she was in the bathroom at the time and came out to see her sister’s 30 year old husband Anupong Saengngaongam running down the stairs. He fled in his red Chevrolet pickup truck, suspected to head to Ayutthaya where he has relatives, said Achariya.

 

Police contacted officers at Chang Yai Police Station in Bang Sai district of Phra Nakhon Si Ayutthaya province to request that they track down Anupong’s pickup truck.

 

Then, Ayutthaya Rescue Unit was informed that a pickup truck drove into the river near Wat Pho Taeng Tai in the Bang Sai district. When rescue workers arrived, no driver was found inside the car. A witness, Anupong’s relative, had rowed a boat out and saved Anupong from the sinking vehicle.

 

Rescue worker Sahaphap Unsung-gnern said that when he described the car to the police, it matched the description of the wanted killer’s vehicle.

Don't blame the relative. They had no way of knowing what had happened earlier to the wife.

Yes...."saved" seems to be a inappropriate use of language.????????

Not really. If someone stabbed my relative to death I would much rather that person spend the rest of their life in a hithole thai prison than have the easy way out

Not really. Spending years in a Thai prison means he has to suffer for what he did.

 

EDIT: By coincidence, the post before mine says almost exactly the same.

True enough, you and Bangkok Barry are the calmer voices of reason.

 

Not sure I have your confidence in the Thai judicial system though...
