In a shocking incident in the Isaan province of Roi Et, Thailand, 49-year-old Boonlai confessed to fatally shooting his wife, Phitchaya, allegedly driven by jealousy. The tragic event unfolded on December 16, witnessed by their son and Phitchaya's tomboy friend, Maneerat, at the latter's home.

 

Boonlai, suspecting a romantic relationship between Phitchaya and Maneerat, confronted his wife upon learning she stayed overnight at Maneerat's residence following a concert on December 15. Despite her reassurances, he perceived evidence of intimacy in online exchanges between the two women—a suspicion aggravated by their frequent photos and videos together.

 

Failing to persuade Phitchaya to return home with him, Boonlai claims he acted in a fit of rage, shooting her twice in the head at close range. He left the scene with his son in distress and fled to Mukdahan province, where he was later apprehended. Boonlai left the weapon behind and has now been detained by the police.

 

 

Maneerat, expressing disbelief, refuted any romantic involvement with Phitchaya, stating they were merely friends. She also mentioned that Boonlai never voiced his suspicions or confronted her previously about such beliefs.

 

Phitchaya’s mother expressed relief on Boonlai owning up to his actions yet remains in the dark about her daughter's relationship with Maneerat.

 

As Boonlai awaits his sentence, he appealed through the media for Maneerat to care for his two sons, a request stemming from the responsibilities he can no longer fulfil. This devastating tale highlights the extreme consequences of mistrust and miscommunication within relationships.

I imagine the hit to a thai man's ego finding out your wife is having an affair with a man is severe, but finding out your wife is now having it away with someone without a penis would be worse !

This is really messed up. I feel so bad for the son that had to witness this and both sons losing their mother to an insecure man and now he wants her best friend to raise them. Hope he never gets out of jail.

well at least he did not kill the tomboy...  people often kill the lover while it is the partner that initiated the cheating... he can think about it the rest of his life, hopefully, in prison
