A 50-year-old man stabbed his ex-wife to death in Chonburi province after she rejected his attempt to rekindle their relationship, citing her commitment to a new partner. The suspect later tried to take his own life but survived with critical injuries.

 

Police in Bo Win, Si Racha District, received the report at around 22:30 on 29 April. Officers from Bo Win Police Station, led by Pol Lt Col Kanoknan Suksri, along with rescue volunteers from the Silatham Ban Bueng Foundation, responded to the scene, a raised single-storey rented house in Moo 7, Bo Win Subdistrict.

 

 

Inside, officers discovered the body of 51-year-old Ms. Wannapha lying on her back with eight stab wounds to her chest. Nearby was Mr. Den, 50, suffering from ten self-inflicted stab wounds to his own chest. He was found barely conscious and was rushed to Laem Chabang Hospital in critical condition.

 

Initial investigations revealed that Mr. Den was the victim’s ex-husband. The two had separated in 2023, and Ms. Wannapha had since moved on, living with her new husband in the rented home for nearly two years. Mr. Den had reportedly made several attempts to reconcile, but his advances were repeatedly rejected.

 

On the night of the incident, it is believed that Mr. Den once again attempted to win her back. When she refused, he allegedly flew into a rage and attacked her with a knife he had brought with him. After fatally stabbing her, he then turned the weapon on himself in a failed suicide attempt.

 

The victim’s current husband, Mr. Sanya, 50, told authorities that he was unaware his partner’s ex-husband had been visiting or making contact. He stated that the couple had a loving relationship and that nothing seemed out of the ordinary in the days leading up to the attack.

 

Rescue workers have transferred the victim’s body to Laem Chabang Hospital for autopsy and storage. Meanwhile, police have stationed officers at Mr. Den’s bedside to prevent any escape attempts as he recovers under medical supervision. Criminal charges are expected once he regains consciousness.
