A man has been arrested after violently killing an older friend with a wooden plank in a fit of jealous rage, following a domestic dispute that led his wife to seek shelter at her former husband’s home.

 

At around 23:30 on 7 April, police from Nong Bua Rawe Station in Chaiyaphum province were alerted to a murder at a shelter next to house number 131 in Moo 3, Khok Sa-at Subdistrict, Nong Bua Rawe District. Officers, along with medical personnel from Nong Bua Rawe Hospital and rescue workers from the Sawang Khunatham Foundation, rushed to the scene.

 

They found the body of 63-year-old Mr. Noi, a local man from Sompoi Subdistrict, lying in a pool of blood. He had suffered massive head trauma, with visible brain matter at the scene. He was pronounced dead, and his body was taken for further examination at Chaiyaphum Hospital.

 

Police were initially searching for the homeowner, Mr. Prasopchok, 53, but were instead met by his ex-wife, Ms. Yupin, 43. She told officers that she had had a quarrel with her current husband, Mr. Prakob, 55, earlier that day and left their home to seek help from a close friend, asking to be taken back to her former husband’s house.

 

Mr. Prakob allegedly followed her and, upon discovering Mr. Noi resting in a hammock at the property, flew into a jealous rage. He reportedly grabbed a thick wooden plank and a bamboo stick found nearby and began striking Mr. Noi repeatedly until he died at the scene.

 

Following the attack, Mr. Prakob calmly returned home on his motorbike, where he waited for police and surrendered without resistance. He was taken to Nong Bua Rawe Police Station and charged with murder.

 

During police questioning, Mr. Prakob, expressionless, claimed he was driven by jealousy and admitted he had no prior conflict with the victim, with whom he had even drunk alcohol in the past. He said he wasn’t sure whether the victim had romantic intentions toward his wife. He also confessed to acting alone and striking the victim five to six times while the latter was lying defenseless in the hammock.

 

He described the murder as an impulsive act brought on by a fit of jealousy, not something he had planned. “If you hit a snake, you have to break its back,” he said chillingly, before apologising to the victim’s family.

 

Ms. Yupin, tearful and remorseful, also apologised to the victim’s family. She said she never imagined that asking Mr. Noi to take her to her ex-husband’s home would result in his death. Suffering from poor health and almost completely blind, she said she was too afraid to intervene and ran to get help, but it was too late. She expressed her wish to attend the funeral if someone could accompany her.

 

In a final development, Ms. Yupin’s ex-husband, Mr. Prasopchok, later arrived to take her back into his home, where she had previously lived.

I lost track of how many husbands were mentioned.

Killer sounds a bit flippant - almost robotic.

 

Chalk one up for the violent videogames and daytime dramas influence.

Sounds like the victim only gave the wife a ride to her ex's house.  But I do pretty much need a program to keep up.

JFC.  I thought at first it was the ex-husband that was killed.  The victim is just a kind old man that gave a sick disabled woman a lift somewhere and then chilled out in a hammock.  What an absolute animal the murderer is.
