Picture from responders.

 

An incident unfolded on January 24, when a woman fatally shot her husband after enduring repeated instances of domestic abuse. The altercation occurred inside their vehicle as the couple was travelling back to Khura Buri district.

 

Reports indicate that the husband, who had a history of physical violence, allegedly began choking his wife during a heated argument while driving. In a desperate act of self-defence, the wife retrieved a firearm and discharged four rounds, killing him instantly. The car subsequently veered off the road, crashing into a tree near the Phu Khao Ya curve, close to the prominent "Prince Crab" statue in Ranong province.

 

The wife remained at the scene and surrendered herself to local police officers upon their arrival. Both individuals were identified as residents of the Ban Tiam area in Khura Buri district.

 

Rescue personnel from the Ranong Relief Foundation transported the deceased's body to Ranong Hospital for a post- mortem examination.

 

This incident serves as a stark reminder of the devastating consequences of domestic violence and its impact on families and communities.

 

The authorities are continuing their investigation into the incident and have not disclosed what legal charges will be issued.
