A man has been arrested for the brutal murder of his estranged wife and father-in-law after a failed attempt at reconciliation turned deadly in Nong Kung Si district, Kalasin province. The suspect, identified as Mr Worachet, also known as “Tae”, reportedly opened fire, killing both victims on the spot before fleeing the scene.

 

The incident occurred at the victims’ home in Nong Bua Subdistrict on 30 May. According to police reports, Mr Worachet arrived at the house on a motorcycle with two accomplices, their faces partially covered. He attempted to persuade his wife, 25-year-old Ms Maneerat, to reconcile and leave with him. However, her father, Mr Somdet, 50, intervened and insisted that any discussion take place at the home.

 

In a shocking turn, Mr Worachet allegedly drew a firearm and shot both his wife and her father multiple times, killing them instantly.

 

The suspect fled the scene, prompting a swift manhunt ordered by Pol Maj Gen Sirasan YuenSanguanchai, Kalasin Provincial Police Commander. Officers from Nong Kung Si Police Station, along with provincial and local law enforcement, launched a coordinated operation to locate the killer. Under mounting pressure, Mr Worachet surrendered to police approximately three hours after the shooting. He was accompanied by family members and handed over the firearm believed to have been used in the murders.

 

Initial investigations suggest jealousy and domestic conflict as the likely motives. The suspect had a history of frequent arguments with the victim, often fuelled by possessiveness and control.

 

Mr Chairat, 24, the younger brother of the slain woman and son of the deceased father, was present during the incident. He recounted that Mr Worachet had tried to drag his sister from her room to force her into a private discussion away from the house. When she refused and a heated argument followed, their father stepped in, reportedly saying: “If you’re going to shoot, do it here.” Before the words had barely left his mouth, the gunman opened fire.

 

Mr Chairat expressed his grief and fear, stating that he strongly opposed any attempt to grant bail and hoped the court would impose the maximum penalty.
