Jealous husband’s tragic twist: Foiled murder-suicide bid

[webfact]

A jealous Thai husband’s murder-suicide plan was foiled when police and rescuers intervened just in time after he attacked his wife with a knife and then sought to end his own life.

 

A rescuer from the Jit Kusol Foundation, in the Isaan province of Khon Kaen, revealed the story on Facebook. The murder-suicide incident reportedly took place at 10.50pm on Sunday, August 20 at a house in Khon Kaen.

Mueang Mai Police Station officers and Jit Kusol Foundation rescuers investigated the murder-suicide scene after the distress call from a witness. On arrival, they discovered a 40 year old Thai woman, Patcharin Puangroi, on the floor with eight stab wounds. Rescuers provided first aid and transferred her to the hospital.

 

A second team rushed to help the preparator, Patcharin’s 45 year old husband, Teerapon Puangroi, who attempted to take his own life by hanging from a tree outside the house. Teerapon was rescued in time and also rushed to the hospital.
