Police arrested a Thai woman in the southern province of Songkhla yesterday for an acid attack on a Vietnamese woman motivated by jealousy after she had evaded arrest for more than nine years.

 

Officers from the Central Investigation Bureau (CIB) apprehended the suspect, 59 year old Nitsata, in Hat Yai district, Songkhla, yesterday, November 12, on a charge of attempted premeditated murder. The penalty for her criminal act will later be determined in court.

 

Her arrest came nine years after Nitsata committed the acid attack in June 2015. The Vietnamese victim sustained severe injuries, including permanent blindness in both eyes. The skin on her arms, legs, and chest was also severely affected.

 

 

The brutal attack was driven by jealousy. Nitsata’s Swedish husband, identified only as Rove, visited Vietnam alone on holiday, where he met and had an affair with the victim. Nitsata discovered their relationship.

 

Rove later invited the Vietnamese woman to travel to Thailand and they stayed at a hotel in Phatthalung province, where the incident occurred.

 

The two women argued outside the hotel, after which Nitsata threw acid, which she bought from a nearby shop, at the Vietnamese woman. Nitsata then fled the scene and evaded arrest for over nine years.

I won't say throw acid back at her, but at least throw the book at her. 

 

Burns are possibly one of the most psychologically damaging injuries one can suffer. The fact that the Vietnamese woman was also blinded in this attack adds to the horrible act.

The Vietnamese woman was not aware that "stealing a foreign husband" was a job that was only allowed for Thai people.
