Thai woman defends husband for shooting her with harpoon

[webfact]

 

A Thai woman in the Isaan province of Buriram defended her husband, who shot her with a harpoon, to prevent him from being arrested, saying the shooting was an accident. Her husband said otherwise.

 

Rescuers from the Siam Ruamjai Pu-in Foundation in the Nang Rong district of Buriram province hurried to assist a 46 year old woman named Phan who got shot in the arm with a harpoon on March 13. Upon arrival, they discovered Phan outside her residence, visibly distressed, clutching her injured arm and awaiting assistance.

 

Phan explained to rescuers that her 59 year old husband, Pairat, accidentally fired a harpoon at her. However, Pairat, who was drunk, claimed he intentionally shot his wife due to her excessive complaints.

“I shot her. I really did it. She complains too much!”

The rescue team rushed Phan to the hospital to remove the harpoon and receive further treatment. Channel 7 reported that Phan is now in stable condition.

 

The couple’s son, 33 year old Akkaraphon Khornokread, revealed to Matichon that his parents often engaged in heated arguments, particularly when his father was drunk and refused to work. While physical altercations were not uncommon between them, this incident marked the first instance of his father resorting to the use of a weapon.

 

The Superintendent of the Nangrong Police Station, Kamphon Wongsa-nguan, visited the couple’s home to investigate the shooting. The officer took Pairat to the police station for questioning but no charges have been filed yet.

 

Kamphon mentioned that he would interview Phan once her condition improves to inquire whether she wants to take legal action against her husband. He made known that Phan might drop the case as she appeared to love her husband very much.

 

A similar incident occurred in the Isaan province of Surin in February, where a Thai woman attacked her husband with a knife, saying he touched her vagina and body too hard. The injured husband forgave his wife, stating he loved her and found the incident helped keep their relationship lively.

 

In another case, a Thai man forgave his wife after she repeatedly stabbed him. However, their story did not end happily as the wife eventually left him for another man in their community.

Wish I would have had one when I was married in the states. Before I got cleaned out, and escaped.

Don't matter if he intentionally did it or not, me thinks she just may think twice before nagging him again.....especially if he's into the sauce !!!!!

Sounds fair enough to me, just 'coz he was always drunk and didn't work, is not reason to complain is it Bob.
