A 75-year-old man shot his 41-year-old wife dead before turning the gun on himself in a case of jealousy and domestic violence in Ban Bueng district, Chonburi.

 

Police from Khlong Kio Station were alerted at 08:00 on 7 September, to the incident at a single-storey home in Moo 7, Khlong Kio subdistrict. Upon arrival, officers discovered the body of the husband, identified only as W., sitting on a sofa with a shotgun wound to the head. The wife, identified as P., was found dead in a nearby room, also shot with a shotgun. Spent shells were collected from the scene as evidence.

 

Initial investigations indicate a 34-year age gap between the couple. Neighbours reported that W. had long displayed controlling and jealous behaviour towards his wife. On the day of the incident, the couple reportedly argued after P., who worked at a factory, did not return home as usual over the weekend.

 

It is believed that W. had meet with his wife to discuss their dispute but, failing to reach an agreement, resorted to violence. Neighbours reported hearing two gunshots: the first around 21:00, on 6 September, when he shoot his wife and a second at approximately 22:00, when the he fatally shot himself.

 

Police continue to investigate the case and have collected evidence to complete the official report.

Thailand gives new meaning to (till death do us part) when getting married. Such rage acting out so much that the man felt it was easier to kill his wife and then himself rather than leaving her or throwing her out of the house. Violence seems to have its place in Thai society rather than sensible thinking. RIP
