A 41-year-old man has shot and killed his wife in front of their 9-year-old child after a heated argument in their home. The tragedy unfolded late on the night of 18 January, in the village of Ban Klang, Lamphun province.

 

Authorities received the call at 22:00 and promptly arrived at the scene a car repair shop converted into a home. Inside, they discovered the body of 39-year-old Piyamas, who had been shot once in the left temple with a .22-caliber gun. She was found in a pool of blood in the kitchen, near the refrigerator.

 

The suspected perpetrator, Phattanapong, 41, her husband, was still at the scene and surrendered to police without attempting to flee. He handed over the firearm used in the killing and initially claimed that the shooting was an accident, resulting from a struggle over the weapon. According to preliminary reports, the couple had been drinking together with a friend earlier in the evening, before an argument broke out. Phattanapong became suspicious of his wife's loyalty and, in a fit of jealousy, confronted her. The situation escalated, and the weapon went off during a tussle.

 

Phattanapong's jealousy is believed to stem from concerns that his wife had been involved with another man. It is reported that after Piyamas left her job at a factory, the couple's relationship became strained, and Phattanapong demanded she stay home. Despite this, tensions continued to mount until the fatal confrontation.

 

The most poignant and heart-wrenching scene at the crime scene was discovered by rescue workers, who found the couple's young son sitting on the sofa, crying while clutching a photograph of his deceased mother, after witnessing the whole incident.

 

The police investigation is ongoing, and Phattanapong has been taken into custody. Authorities have expressed their condolences to the family and are continuing to gather evidence related to the case.

Drinking with mentally unstable Thais is always going to be a risky business.
