In the early hours of November 3, an incident unfolded in a home in Chamai Subdistrict, Thung Song District, when a man, enraged by jealousy, allegedly broke into his ex-wife's residence and shot her and her new partner. The suspect, identified as 33-year-old Pasakorn D., reportedly found his ex-wife, Jariya T., 33, and her new boyfriend, Trakarn K., 24, in bed together and, in a fit of rage, opened fire with a .357 caliber handgun. Both Jariya and Trakarn succumbed to their injuries.

 

Police received a call regarding the shooting around 04:45 and immediately responded. By the time they arrived, Jariya had been fatally shot in the head, while Trakarn was critically injured and later passed away at Thung Song Hospital. Outside the house, police found a black Toyota car and a motorcycle parked, and security camera footage captured the suspect fleeing the scene.

 

According to local sources, Jariya had been living separately from Pasakorn for about three months following ongoing disputes. Despite their separation, Pasakorn, who shared a past with Jariya, reportedly continued to visit her and take her out for meals. The situation took a darker turn when Pasakorn suspected Jariya of being romantically involved with someone new, prompting him to surveil her activities.

 

Fueled by jealousy, Pasakorn allegedly confronted the couple, leading to the tragic outcome. Following the shooting, police launched a search, eventually locating Pasakorn and the vehicle reportedly used in his escape. He was found in possession of the handgun, along with additional rounds of ammunition.

 

Pasakorn was escorted to the Thung Song Police Station, where he reportedly admitted to the crime. He cited intense jealousy and a sense of betrayal as his motives for the shooting.

 

In the afternoon, relatives of the victims, including Jariya's father, Chuchat, 56, and Trakarn's father, Banyat, 63, arrived at Maharat Nakhon Si Thammarat Hospital to claim the bodies of their loved ones.

 

The police investigation is ongoing.

So, in other words, just another guy that have absolutely no control over his emotions. Maybe time that Thailand take care of their own problems before starting to point out that a foreigner get upset for double pricing, a taxi guy trying to fleece them or just dancing in the wrong place. They have a lot of cleanup to do to save their precious face.

This is not accurate. I am told in Thai news that they were still married but separated for almost a year. They had been meeting to reconcile the marriage. This was why he killed her and the man sleeping in his bed with her. 

Legally, the woman was having an affair and the husband walked into his home to find his wife with another man in their bed.

On the other hand he could have accepted the break-up and found a new girl..

now he's screwed for life.

Not so long ago in France this would be classified as a crime of passion and as such would not result in a severe sentence.

Wife is not a slave !!!! If there is no chance to get her back, walk away. One more loser who can't stand reality. 

I had one uncle who raped a few women in his life, then he raped another relatives

wife. In a few months he was found shot to death in his bed, and it looked like

suicide, so no one went to jail. I later heard at a party he had help pulling the trigger.
