A 52-year-old woman was brutally murdered while walking her dog in a quiet residential neighbourhood in Narathiwat province on the morning of 13 April, in a shocking and unprovoked knife attack by a drug-addled neighbour. Despite her husband’s desperate attempt to intervene with a firearm, he was unable to save her life.

 

At around 07:30, Pol. Lt. Col. Thitiwut Petchrak of Su-ngai Kolok Police Station received reports of a fatal stabbing in front of a house in the Su-ngai Kolok subdistrict. Emergency responders and police arrived to find the victim’s body already moved inside the family home by distraught relatives. She was identified as Mrs. Usanee, 52, who suffered a deep slash wound to the neck. A cloth had been draped over her body.

 

Outside the house, officers discovered a pool of blood, a 9mm bullet casing, and a bloodied kitchen knife. The suspect, 34-year-old Mr. Ismaae, a neighbour living just 50 metres away, had already been rushed to Su-ngai Kolok Hospital with gunshot wounds. He had been shot once in the abdomen, with the bullet also grazing his left arm. He underwent emergency surgery and remains under strict police guard.

 

Mr. Sombun, the victim’s husband, recounted the horrifying moment. As his wife, as was her daily routine, took their dog for a morning walk, the suspect suddenly emerged from behind and slashed her throat without warning. Mr. Sombun said he heard her cries for help and rushed outside. In desperation, he retrieved his licensed 9mm handgun and fired one shot at the attacker in a bid to save his wife, but she had already succumbed to her injuries.

 

Following the attack, police visited Mr. Ismaae’s home and spoke with his father, who revealed that his son suffered from psychiatric illness, believed to have been triggered by years of drug abuse. He was typically confined indoors for safety, though somehow managed to slip out that morning. Mr. Ismaae had reportedly been hospitalised multiple times and had been arrested under the Narcotic Drugs Act on four previous occasions.

 

Police have formally charged Mr. Ismaae with murder.
