Woman Tortured with Hot Iron & Held Captive by Ex-Husband

A 32-year-old woman has come forward with harrowing allegations of brutal assault, torture and repeated abuse at the hands of her former husband, including being burned with a hot iron, forcibly detained and subjected to sexual assault.

 

The victim, referred to as Ms Bua, was accompanied to Krathum Baen Police Station, Samut Sakon, by social activist Kan Jompalang and his team on 16 July to give additional testimony after receiving hospital treatment. The incident has sparked widespread outrage, with calls for stronger protective measures and swift justice.

 

Ms Bua revealed that the assault occurred after her ex-husband lured her to his home under the pretext of picking up their child. Upon arrival, she was dragged into the house, bound by the wrists with rope tied to metal bars and violently beaten. He then used a hot iron to burn her face and legs, leaving her with disfiguring scars.

 

She was held captive for several days in a locked house under the watch of another woman who prevented her from escaping. Despite begging to be taken to hospital, her pleas were ignored. She finally escaped by climbing out of a window and hiding near a neighbouring house before being taken to hospital.

 

Ms Bua has been under medical care for over 20 days. She still bears visible burn wounds to her face and lower body and fears permanent scarring. Psychological trauma and ongoing threats from her ex-husband have left her in fear for her life.

 

The victim disclosed that she had been in a relationship with the man for 8–9 years, during which physical abuse was frequent. She had previously left him but was repeatedly harassed and manipulated into returning. She stated that this was the fourth major assault this year alone.

 

She said the man threatened her life, claiming he was untouchable due to connections with local police. Messages seen by Kan Jompalang showed him warning her not to press charges, insisting they “handle things as a family.”

 

Authorities have confirmed that there is no record of any personal connections shielding the suspect from legal consequences.

 

Pol. Lt. Col. Taweesak Lekkla, the investigating officer at Krathum Baen Police Station, said the attack occurred on 12 June but was only reported later, because the victim had been unable to escape immediately. The police are treating the case seriously and are awaiting full medical documentation before proceeding with charges. The suspect has been summoned and is cooperating with the investigation.

 

The police also assured that both parties would be treated fairly and that a full investigation would be conducted in accordance with the law.

 

Kan Jompalang, who has become a prominent advocate for victims of domestic violence, stated:

 

“This is not just assault, it is a barbaric act. If the relationship is over, let the person go. She is not a slave. What he did to her, the burns, the confinement, the rape, it’s unforgivable.”

 

He confirmed that the Ministry of Social Development and Human Security (MSDHS) is now providing the victim with psychological support and arranging a safe house. He also said he has helped arrange work for her in a private factory to ensure her safety and independence.

 

Ms Bua stated,

 

“No matter how badly we argued, no woman deserves to be treated like this. I’m not going back. I want a divorce. I want my life back.”

 

Authorities have promised to expedite the investigation, with the possibility of further charges including unlawful detention and sexual assault.

    It sounds like she had the great misfortune of marrying an absolute loser, a pale shadow of a man, someone without much emotional development, and perhaps someone who just couldn't handle the fact tha

With what happened here, this pig should be taken into custody immediately. So he cannot evade prosecution.

It sounds like she had the great misfortune of marrying an absolute loser, a pale shadow of a man, someone without much emotional development, and perhaps someone who just couldn't handle the fact that the relationship didn't work out. I sense that no amount of psychological help could have helped this guy, and I suspect really, really bad parenting might have been a factor.

 

This guy should be executed, there are absolutely no excuses for heinous crimes of this degree, there's no place on this earth for a vermin like this, and his actions are essentially a self-revocation of the right to consume oxygen. I hope the judiciary can grasp that concept.

I second that.

"...........The police are treating the case seriously and are awaiting full medical documentation before proceeding with charges. " (1) Treating the case seriously? That's good to know. .........

(2) ......awaiting full medical documentation......  I'm afraid it might take a very long time. RTP should immediately detain the suspect, allow him no bail and expedite all court proceedings. Alas! T.I.T.

Can you even begin to imagine?

 

Any form of disfigurement.......acid attacks in particular.....I'd be happy to see a mandatory life sentence.

Of course.... he deserves fairness.

He should be taken to a wooden shed and his knob secured in a bench vice.. removing the vice handle.

Produce a hacksaw... if he asks what are you going to do with that reply nothing, you are

I'm going to set fire to the shed.

Wow that's so cruel.. I love it. as for the old cliche "cut and run".

The problem with mental problems is they don't away with jail time. They need treatment. However, if he is ever released, he will do the same to another woman.

She must have done something to end up like this, beds not made, dinner not on the table, dirty dishes left in the sink, ring around the bath?

You're right, I don't believe it. Because it's not true.

 

Jenkin was not setenced to six years, he was sentenced to life. He got a life sentence with a "minimum of 6 years".

 

He is mentally ill and should not be in prison at all but in a psych ward.

So six years.

No, a life sentence.

 

With a minimum of 6 years.

 

It means he could do a lot more than 6 years. 

 

After 6 years he can start applying for parole. But given the nature of the crime it is almost certain he won't get it.

If he is incredibly stupid......in a similar position I think I would go for the six years.

Thanks for the clear statement of the facts, verified with a link.

He'll try to get parole after six years. But what parole board will let a mentally ill guy out who's an eye gouger?

IF this was even remotely the reason ( and we should not speculate ) are you saying you would be happy to disfigure a woman who has been your wife or Girlfriend because of it, instead of discussing with her why?

 

Some so called men regularly beat up their partners largely because they blame them for their own immaturity doing it time and time again no matter what medical or other attempts are made to stop them but at least they are given the chance to correct themselves.

Certainly something dark

Arrest both perpetrators, charge them, try them, and if found guilty, sentence them to many years in prison for many, many years! 😡

The problem can be solved with one bullet. 

Given the apparent injuries the RTP should already should have the guy detained!

 The guy probably holds some position or is well known in the community so they are reluctant to act.
