A drunk husband was arrested by the police for allegedly murdering his wife out of jealousy and financial disputes at a residence in the central province of Ratchaburi yesterday. The incident unfolded when the man, identified as 36 year old Mongkon, confessed to repeatedly slashing his wife with a sickle knife used for coconut harvesting.

 

Officers from Baan Pong Police Station were alerted to the crime at a house in Ban Pong district, Ratchaburi province, around 11am yesterday. Upon investigation, the police discovered the lifeless body of the victim, 35 year old Pinmuk, bearing multiple knife wounds. A bloodstained coconut sickle knife was found near her.

Mongkon, the perpetrator and Pinmuk’s husband, fled the scene following the brutal murder. However, the police managed to apprehend him later at his sister’s residence in the same area.

 

Metta, Mongkon’s sister, revealed that her brother arrived at her house in the morning, confessing to physically assaulting Pinmuk. Urging her to check on his wife, Metta promptly went to their house only to find Pinmuk’s lifeless body.
