A distraught woman was saved on January 26, from jumping off a pedestrian bridge in Suwannaphum District after an emotional fallout with her husband left her in despair.

 

The incident occurred at 17:00 on Arun Prasert Road near Suwannaphum Pittayapaisan School, . Roi Et.  Pol. Lt. Chan Kongtham, Deputy Inspector of Suwannaphum Police Station, was alerted by a passerby who spotted a woman crying uncontrollably on the outside of the bridge railing. Rescue volunteers from the Hook 31 Foundation quickly joined the police at the scene.

 

Upon arrival, officers found the woman, described as heavily built, gripping the outside railing of the bridge, sobbing heavily. Police and rescue personnel attempted to calm her down. While she was momentarily distracted, they managed to pull her to safety using a safety rope to secure her waist.

 

The woman, identified as "Bee" , was too emotional to provide much details, only weeping during questioning.

 

A local tuk-tuk driver, Mr. Chonlong, shed light on the situation. He revealed that Bee had been searching for her husband, a fellow tuk-tuk driver based at the Suwannaphum bus terminal. She had been looking for him since the previous day and discovered his vehicle parked at Suwannaphum Hospital earlier that day, but her husband was nowhere to be found.

 

Mr. Chonlong added that Bee had argued with her husband prior to his disappearance, even physically assaulting him, leaving visible bruises. Frustrated and hurt, her husband reportedly left home, telling others he was traveling to Bangkok with his two children from a previous marriage. However, Bee was unaware of these plans, leading to two days of fruitless searching.

 

It is believed that her despair stemmed from feelings of neglect and jealousy over her husband spending time with his children without informing her.

 

Police escorted Bee to Suwannaphum Hospital for a medical check-up and counselling. Her family has been informed and will assist in taking her home.

Yeah, once again we are coming down to dealing with a problem, solving a conflict or just accept the outcome of a bad or negative result. No can do! Better take my own life!

I hope they will charge her with assault.
