A 34-year-old man committed suicide in an incident believed to have been triggered by drug-induced paranoia and jealousy, after he violently assaulted his wife and mistakenly believed he had killed her.

 

The incident occurred at a rented room near a restaurant in Village 12, Thung Sukhla Subdistrict, Si Racha District, on 22 April. Police from Laem Chabang Station, led by Pol. Sub-Lt. Issarapong Thaveeyoskeerati, along with local detectives and rescue volunteers from Sawang Prateep Sri Racha Foundation, responded to the scene.

 

Officers discovered the body of Mr Wichet, who had hanged himself with a checkered cloth tied to a ceiling fan. It was estimated he had been dead for approximately five to six hours.

 

His 32-year-old wife recounted that an argument had erupted earlier, fuelled by Wichet’s jealousy and paranoia after using drugs. He accused her of being unfaithful and demanded she resign from her job. The confrontation escalated into violence, with Wichet striking and strangling her until she lost consciousness.

 

When she eventually regained consciousness, she found her husband had taken his own life, apparently believing she had died from the assault and, in a moment of guilt and remorse, decided to end his own life.

 

Police suspect that the man’s suicide was a result of this mistaken belief. His body has been transferred to Laem Chabang Hospital for a detailed post-mortem examination.

Sadly, it sounds like she will be better off without him.
