A 39 year old woman was fatally assaulted by her jealous husband in Sing Buri province, Thailand before he fled. The 42 year old suspect later surrendered today at a local police station and confessed to the crime, citing jealousy as the motive.

 

The victim’s family was outraged when the husband arrived at the police station, with one relative assaulting him and others demanding to know why he killed the woman.

 

On a tragic day, Narongwit Phet-srimuang attacked his wife, Siriwan (surname withheld) with a hammer, leaving her critically injured. The assault took place on a road in Sing Buri province after Siriwan finished work. She was later taken to a hospital but succumbed to her injuries on Sunday, June 4. The perpetrator went into hiding after the incident and was identified by police as the victim’s jealous husband, leading authorities to issue an arrest warrant and search for him.

 

Narongwit turned himself in at the Sing Buri Police Station today. The police were able to secure a confession from him. He admitted to assaulting his wife out of jealousy. He claimed that he had gone to confront Siriwan at her workplace and followed her before attacking her with a hammer. After fleeing the scene, he returned home, changed clothes and called his child to contact their mother. Upon discovering that the police were informed about the crime, he escaped to his relative’s house in Khon Kaen before eventually deciding to surrender.

Whilst I kind of agree with you, if it was guaranteed he would stay in a  thai prison until death, then I would vote for the prison, every day would be hell.

are you not entitled to a lawyer in thailand ?

 

seems they get so many people to confess before even having a fair chance at justice. not speaking about this case but in general. 

Not sure what the photo has to do with this story.

 

Anyway moral of the photo:  Don't drink pepsi

At least the car was spared a hammering.

One slap gets them talking, takes 5 slaps to shut them up!

A usual daily occurrence in the Land of Smiles. There'll be another 'jealous husband kills wife' report tomorrow. And the day after. And the one after that. Groundhog Day.

Having reached my 60s I can't imagine anything worse than looking back on a life spent in jail because of something stupid I did in my 20s 30s or 40s because I was 'jealous' ... and knowing I'd be dying inside the prison walls as well.

 

Infinitely worse than the death penalty. 

 

But whatever the other arguments, one overrides all others: just imagine if Kathleen Folbigg had been executed ...
