A 54-year-old man has been arrested for the brutal killing of a 54-year-old woman following a heated argument that escalated late on 19 February. The incident occurred at a hut in a rubber plantation behind the victim’s home in Nong Khana, Phu Krasang district.

 

Police received reports of the murder at around 22:30 and arrived at the scene to find the victim, identified as Ratri, lying in a pool of blood. Initial investigations revealed that the perpetrator, identified as Nipon, had struck Ratri with an axe after being insulted by her.

 

Witnesses at the scene described how villagers were preparing for a gathering following the incident, when blood was found on the ground near the hut, alongside two pairs of shoes, one belonging to the victim and the other to Nipon.

 

Banjong, the husband of the deceased, recounted that he had been away attending a relative’s funeral when he received the devastating news from the village chief. He stated that he had known Nipon for many years and believed the motive for the attack was a quarrel fueled by alcohol. “I never thought he would be capable of such brutality,” Banjong remarked, vowing not to forgive Nipon for the crime.

 

Nipon later explained to police that he had killed Ratri in a fit of rage after she repeatedly insulted him, calling him “pathetic.” He claimed he was drunk at the time and had endured months of derogatory remarks from the victim. Nipon acknowledged that he frequently mingled with Ratri’s family, stating that she would often give him money and food.

 

Police Major Narong Piyapan confirmed that upon arrival at the scene, officers discovered a significant head wound on the victim, measuring approximately 20 centimeters long, caused by the axe, which was found at the scene bearing traces of blood. There were signs of a struggle, along with an unfinished bottle of rice whiskey present.

 

Subsequent tests revealed that Nipon had consumed drugs, as indicated by the colour of his urine test. He has been charged with murder and drug use. Nipon is set to appear in court in Kantharalak on 21 February for further legal proceedings.

It appears she was correct in her assessment of him

Thai conflict resolution at it´s best.

One of the benefits to not learning thai, just insult them in a language they dont understand

True but there are people who just shouldn't be insulted. Why was she drinking with him in the first place? She must have known he was on drugs, maybe she was herself, drugs and alcohol is Thailands curse.

A great way to treat someone who regularly gave him money and food.
