A 44-year-old man was found dead beneath a friend’s house in Si Sa Ket province, following what began as a routine night of drinking. The host, a 52-year-old man, later confessed to killing his long-time drinking companion in a jealous rage over his wife.

Police were alerted to the scene in Nong Kalieng subdistrict, Nam Kliang district, at around 09:00 on 6;August, after the victim’s body was discovered lying face down next to a bamboo platform under the house. Officers from Nam Kliang Police Station, forensic investigators, local administrators and medics from Nam Kliang Hospital responded promptly to the scene.

The victim, who had suffered multiple sharp-force injuries to the head and signs of blunt trauma to the body, was estimated to have been dead for 4–6 hours before being discovered.

Local village headwoman Ms. Suphissin Inthidet told police that on the night before the murder, the deceased had been drinking with the homeowner and the homeowner’s 54-year-old wife, a common occurrence, as the victim regularly stayed over after such gatherings.

According to witnesses, a loud argument broke out during the drinking session, which then fell eerily silent. No one checked on the group until morning, when the victim was found dead.

The homeowner had fled the scene but was later apprehended by police. During questioning, he admitted to attacking the victim with a knife, citing jealousy over his wife as the motive. He has been charged with murder and remains in police custody for further investigation.
