A brutal domestic dispute in Nong Ruea, Maha Sarakham, yesterday, resulted in five severely injured family members. The family’s stepson, 37 years old Piyanat, allegedly attacked his wife, father-in-law, mother-in-law, and aunt with an air rifle, after his request for an additional wife was denied.

 

The conflict reportedly began after Piyanat and his 39 year old wife, Yupawadee, had disagreed over ending their marriage. Piyanat, who already had another woman in his life, had been living separately from his wife over the past couple of months.

 

Tensions escalated when Piyanat came home drunk and demanded to stay at the marital home. Piyanat allegedly opened fire on his family when access to the house was refused, injuring all present.

 

The injured, including Piyanat himself who had been stabbed in the head during the melee, were taken to Nong Ruea hospital before being transferred to Maha Sarakham Hospital for further treatment. The extent of the injuries varied, with Yuphawadee and Piyanat’s aunt being the most critically injured, both of whom were awaiting surgery at the time of reporting.
