A horrifying domestic murder has rocked a community, after a man fatally struck his wife in the head with a rubber tapping knife before fleeing the scene with his son on a green Kawasaki Ninja motorcycle. Police have issued arrest warrants for both men as the manhunt continues.

 

The incident occurred around 05:00 on 8 June in Moo 1, Ban Khlong Sihra, Ba Hoi subdistrict, Saba Yoi district, Songkhla province. Officers from Saba Yoi Police Station, along with forensic and emergency personnel, were called to a rubber plantation where they discovered the lifeless body of 52-year-old Ms Prathum.

 

The victim was found lying in a pool of blood at the base of a rubber tree. A rubber tapping knife and other tools were located nearby. Upon inspection, police found two deep lacerations to her head, consistent with a violent assault.

 

The primary suspect, 51-year-old Mr Bunhai, was the victim’s new husband. He had reportedly gone to the plantation earlier with Ms Prathum and his 26-year-old son Mr Chaiphruek, her stepson.

 

According to the victim’s biological son, Mr Phornthap, he later rode to the plantation to sharpen a tapping knife for his mother. Upon arrival, he noticed Mr Bunhai and Mr Chaiphruek behaving suspiciously and telling him they were going to fetch a container. They also urged him to sharpen the knife elsewhere.

 

Feeling uneasy, Mr Phornthap left briefly but then returned, only to find the two men gone. Searching the plantation with a flashlight, he discovered his mother barely clinging to life. She succumbed to her injuries before help could arrive.

 

He immediately contacted the village head and local police. Officers searched a rented house linked to Mr Bunhai but found it abandoned. Drug paraphernalia was discovered inside the property, deepening suspicions about the suspects’ behaviour.

 

Following an official request by Saba Yoi police investigators, the Na Thawi Provincial Court has issued arrest warrants for both Mr Bunhai and Mr Chaiphruek. Authorities believe the father and son fled the area on a green Kawasaki Ninja motorbike shortly after the killing.

 

Police are now actively tracking the fugitives and urge anyone with information on their whereabouts to come forward.
