A brutal domestic altercation on October 8, left a woman dead and her husband critically injured in what appears to be a crime of passion in Bangkok’s Thawi Watthana District. The incident unfolded near Phutthamonthon Sai 2 Soi 27.

 

Responding to reports of a violent dispute, police arrived at the scene and discovered a Toyota Vios parked near the end of the alley, its engine running with loud music blasting from inside. The front doors were open, and the seats reclined. Inside, officers found Mr. Natthaphon, 42, from Nakhon Pathom, lying on top of his wife, Ms. Chonthicha, 36, from Bangkok, who was dead in the passenger seat. She had a hole in her forehead from a crossbow injury and her body was covered in blood. Mr. Natthaphon had a bloodstained knife still stuck in his body and the crossbow was found on his wife’s body.

 

 

Ms. Chonthicha’s body bore over 20 stab wounds. She was dressed in a work uniform, and her left arm was hanging out of the car. The couple were married, and police suspect that Mr. Natthaphon’s jealousy was the motive for the crime.

 

Emergency personnel provided first aid to Mr. Natthaphon who had used the knife on himself, was later transported to Rajphiphat Hospital in a critical condition.

 

In an initial statement to police, Mr. Natthaphon revealed that he had become suspicious of his wife having an affair. Earlier that day, he had hidden in the trunk of her car as she left their home in Nong Khaem. Ms. Chonthicha, a public bus driver, had arranged to meet her lover at a nearby restaurant. When she arrived, Mr. Natthaphon emerged from the trunk and took control of the car, driving it into the alley where the violent altercation erupted.

 

Eyewitness Ms. Ratchanee, 35, recounted that she saw the car drive erratically into the alley, colliding with walls on both sides. Eventually, it stopped in the middle of the road, and she heard a woman screaming for help. She saw the man stabbing the woman repeatedly, but no one dared to intervene as he shouted that it was a family matter. “He kept saying, ‘She came here to meet her lover. She must die,’” Ms. Ratchanee recalled.

 

Adding to the confusion, a nearby film crew was shooting a movie just 20 metres away, causing some witnesses to initially think the scene was part of the filming. However, once the situation calmed, it became clear that the incident was tragically real.

 

Investigators discovered that Ms. Chonthicha had been frequently seen dining with a fair-skinned man at the restaurant near her workplace, including the day before the incident. It is believed that Mr. Natthaphon had long suspected the affair and chose to hide in the car’s trunk to confront his wife with her lover. As the husband appeared the lover fled the scene before the violence unfolded.

 

Police are continuing their investigation, reviewing CCTV footage from the area, and awaiting Mr. Natthaphon’s recovery for further questioning.

Such humdrum lives, involving suicide and murder.

 

Is this kind of behavior really necessary?

 

 

oh dear Georgealbert,   this is a terrible tragedy,   but at least he got the one who was doing the cheating,  normally they get the guy which is wrong because who knows what lies she's told him,  probably that she's single and what else.

RIP poor lady.

Sooooo many of these Thai women just can’t keep their pants on.

Even when knowing if caught out there will be bad, often fatal consequences.

They just can’t help themselves.

 

I think most men on this forum would have been hit on by an attached woman. Last month I had one telling me that she had finished with her husband. Turns out it wasn’t true.

Run you swine run...

they should give the husband a second chance

 

with his suicide attempt

Who wrote that script. He did it the wrong way around. He should’ve killed himself first. No second take. Poor lady. 

Probably an Australian. They bang anything with a pulse.
