In a chilling act of violence, a 40-year-old man allegedly stabbed his wife 13 times in a drug-induced frenzy while she was holding their 11-month-old son. The incident occurred in the early hours of the morning on 18 April, in Ban Na district, Nakhon Nayok province.

 

Police from Ban Na Police Station, led by Pol Lt Col Jaroon Duangwiangkham, were alerted to the scene at approximately 06:30. Upon arrival at a single-storey residence on Soi Charoensap, officers discovered the victim, Ms Phenphoyom “Koi” Duangchampa, 34, lying in a pool of blood in the living room. She had sustained 13 stab wounds to the neck and abdomen. Despite efforts to rush her to Ban Na Hospital, she was later pronounced dead.

 

 

Inside the home, police also found the couple’s baby boy crying beside his mother’s lifeless body. The suspect, identified as Mr Amnat “Get” Srisat, the victim’s husband, had fled the scene in a car shortly after the attack.

 

According to Mr Amnat’s mother, Mrs Bangon Jomsri, 61, her son had returned home from Nakhon Ratchasima province, where he worked as an auto electrician, to visit his family for the Songkran holiday. He had been living with Ms Phenphoyom for three years and was known to have a history of drug use.

 

On the morning of April 17, an argument reportedly broke out after Ms Phenphoyom asked Mr Amnat for money to buy milk for their child. Mr Amnat, having lost his money to online gambling, became agitated. His mother stated that he had consumed methamphetamine, which caused paranoid hallucinations. He became convinced that his wife was being unfaithful.

 

Through the night, the argument escalated. While Mrs Bangon was taking a shower in the morning, she heard her daughter-in-law scream. She rushed to the house and found her son violently attacking his wife with a knife as she held their child. Mrs Bangon attempted to intervene, but Mr Amnat fled the scene in a car.

 

Police later apprehended Mr Amnat at a relative’s house in Don Pho village, also in Ban Na. His clothes were reportedly stained with blood. During interrogation, he admitted to the killing, claiming he had been hallucinating and believed his wife was cheating on him. He also confessed to discarding the murder weapon in a canal near the Thonglang Subdistrict Administrative Office, though a search by rescue divers failed to locate the knife.

 

Mr Amnat is in police custody and has been taken to the scene to participate in a crime reenactment. Authorities say he will be charged with murder.

High on drugs, the murderer drives off in his car.

I do wonder how many accidents are caused by drug driving, but attributed to alcohol.

 

Sorry, a tad

Gambling and drug addiction, and then tries to shift the blame to his wife for being unfaithful.

I'm guessing thai husband then

High on drugs yet had the presence of mind to drive off and disguard the murder weapon in a canal. Get a good lawyer, son.

Bigger issue is why women are so desperate to choose these types of partners.

I hope they keep him locked up forever....but not sure that will happen.

 

That poor baby...I hope that memory is blocked out of her life.

 

All over a request for Milk money.

My mom went through hell with my alcoholic dad in Central America.  One day, I asked her why did she put up with the beatings and did not leave...her response was..."I had you and your brothers and sister to feed, and he is the only one bringing money home".....he eventually stopped the beatings when she came to America.  He was an old school alcoholic (one of the worst disease on the planet), and they lived together in love for 54 years.  He went first and she missed him everyday until she joined him.  Hard to explain that older generation love, but it was real love.

I didn’t take it he was high at the time of the murder…amazing that the baby wasn’t stabbed but it must of fell to the floor and away from the assault?
