A 37-year-old man allegedly bludgeoned his wife to death with a concrete pole in broad daylight after a violent drug-fuelled rage.

 

Police said the attack took place just before 14:00. on 19 August beside a road near the wall of the Nong Rawiang Education Centre, part of the Plant Genetic Conservation Project in Mueang District, Nakhon Ratchasima.

 

The victim, named as  Ms Suchawanun, was fatally struck by her husband, Mr Worachart, who then fled to his home nearby.

 

Officers from Mueang Nakhon Ratchasima Police Station, together with provincial and regional investigators, surrounded the property and attempted to persuade him to surrender. However, the suspect, reportedly still under the influence of methamphetamine, resisted.

 

Police were forced to fire rubber bullets, which failed to subdue him due to his size and violent state. He was eventually brought under control after officers used a Taser. Mr Worachart was then taken to Maharaj Nakhon Ratchasima Hospital before being transferred into police custody for questioning.

 

 

Neighbours later told reporters that the suspect was known for violent outbursts linked to drug abuse. One neighbour, Ms Nichapat, said the victim had frequently confided in her about domestic violence.

 

“She often came to me for advice,” Ms Nichapat said. “He was hot-tempered and addicted to drugs. Whenever he lost control, he would attack his parents and his wife. She had run away from home many times, but always came back because of the children. Sadly, this time it cost her life.”

 

Police have confirmed that Mr Worachart will face charges of murder and drug-related offences.

Ya-ba. This is the real threat to peoples health along with ice but we never really hear about this. All we hear about is the false narrative of how dangerous dope is. Add vapes to that.
