A violent domestic dispute erupted in central Pattaya on the evening of October 5 after a 65-year-old man was seriously injured when his wife allegedly slashed his wrist with a knife. The incident occurred at an apartment, in Soi Chaloem Phrakiat 18 (Soi Bongkot), Pattaya. Emergency responders said the man lost a large amount of blood and was rushed to Pattaya City Hospital in a serious condition.

 

Rescue workers from the Sawang Boriboon Thammasathan Foundation and police from Pattaya City Station arrived at the scene to find the injured man, identified as Mr Weer running for help from neighbours about 50 metres from the building. He had a deep wound to his left wrist, with blood flowing heavily from a severed artery. Officials provided first aid before transferring him for urgent medical treatment.

 

Inside the three-storey commercial building, which operates a noodle and food stall on the ground floor, officers discovered a blood trail leading up the staircase to the upper floor. A red-handled knife, stained with blood, was found on the floor and seized as evidence. The victim’s room showed signs of a violent altercation.

 

Police later identified the suspect as Mrs Na, the wife of the injured man. The couple, married for more than 40 years and with two children, reportedly began arguing after Mrs Na confronted her husband for allegedly having an affair with a younger woman. She had phoned him to return home to “clear the air,” but the discussion escalated into a heated quarrel.

 

According to Mrs Na’s testimony, Mr Weer became enraged and grabbed her by the neck, making it difficult for her to breathe. In panic, she said she picked up a nearby knife to defend herself but accidentally struck his wrist, causing severe bleeding. Mr Weer then fled the room and called for help from neighbours, who contacted emergency services.

 

Police from Pattaya City Station detained Mrs Na for questioning while monitoring Mr Weer’s condition at the hospital. Officers confirmed he was later stabilised and out of immediate danger. Investigators plan to interview both parties again once he has recovered before determining possible legal charges. Authorities said the case would proceed according to evidence and witness statements.

 

Key Takeaways

 

• A 65-year-old man suffered a severe wrist injury after a domestic dispute with his wife in Pattaya.

• The wife claimed she acted in self-defence after being choked during an argument over alleged infidelity.

• Police are investigating and will interview both parties before deciding on further legal action.

Normaly  the wife would slash his nether part and feed the ducks whith it.

There always seems to be a nearby knife in these situations here. Grabbing her by the neck likely isn't the first time in 40 years, and using a knife against him is actually self defense, and one done daily all over Thailand since time began, but what will be done now? How do you go back home to someone who cut you with a knife, knowing it's very likely to happen again?

If one survives the first, there should not be the opportunity for  second!

True, but what do poor people do if that's their home with children? No one usually wants to leave, and might not be able to afford other arrangements, so they'll stay, thinking, we can be okay, it won't happen again, and you might not hear anything for awhile until it makes front page news .When things get this type of violent, they usually don't stop. 

The case will proceed  according to evidence, a slash wrist,   what more evidence do they need, or maybe he slashed his own wrist

Seems they got things turned around here, why didn’t detain and handcuff the assailant to the hospital bed?

Because apart from the injured man there is no evidence of any other wrongdoing.

What does she expect she's almost 60 years old! What man wants to have sex with a 60 year woman?

 

Men should never be penalized for cheating if the wife is over 52.

Well he might be safer if they used a different bed, maybe in a different hospital.

Self defense is no accident. Anyway she said he said & null and void.

Maybe he cheated, because the wife had forgotten how to keep him happy at home.

Or maybe he cheated, because that's his MO, because once a cheater, usually they'll repeat the behavior. Maybe he never treated his wife well in all those years, as many stay together through strife, especially the poor. Happy wife, happy life is usually spot on, but it takes the man and woman understanding the other's needs, and it doesn't end after the honeymoon or any time afterward. If the woman didn't take care of herself, who's to say the husband did? You either grow old together, or you date younger women and pay the price.

Violence is violence. No such crime as cheating. She should be jailed for 10 years attempted murder.

.He attacked her, and has likely done it many times before, and her defending herself is a given, but not being as strong (likely) than her husband, she grabbed a knife. If he was trying to actually kill her, that's self defense. Yes, she could have grabbed a stick and hit him, which could have escalated his violence more.  Either way, no one knows the history besides them. Cheating isn't a reason for violence but leaving, but living with a cheater, especially if you're too poor to leave, causes mental anguish. Adultery is not considered a crime in Thailand but is grounds for a legal divorce.

Perhaps if he keeps his pants on and zipper up there wont be any problems

Yes, but that might only be a part of the problem in that household. It would certainly give the wife more stability and less reason to grab knives.

What happened to slashing the you what when the man gets caught with his pants down?  have Thai women gone soft

or she couldn't get to the tool itself?

Perhaps move on in life

All these folks regaling what likely happened, I am surprised there was room in there for her to swing the blade!

Key takeaways (LOL):

 

1. They've been together for 40 years.

So many stay in these situations, with abusers and or cheaters, for financial reasons or fear of what worse could be out there. After 40 years, you would think they would be "used" to each other, but again, she has likely been living with this for a long time. If he was cheating, it's probably happened before, and she finally went over the edge.

 

This happens many times all over, and the best thing for them to do is to divorce, as the next time could be fatal. Neither one needs this happening, especially with kids around.  No one knows their history but them. but again, this happens every day, all over.

What if she was a narcissist?

And he was completely blameless?

It might be a good thing for you to look up what a narcissist personality is. Then you would understand how prevalent it is, and how many relationships and conflicts arise from it. Grabbing a woman by the neck, if that's what he did, is assault, and doesn't make him blameless. If he cheated, that also makes him part of the problem. And making it sound like I think all women in mine and others lives, out of the many, are narcissistic, when I've explained this many times, has you lumped into the memory loss column. Gets kinda old.

Dude, every relationship you've had has ended badly, you've always been completely free of blame and it's always been the womans fault.

BUT

Any news item where a man and woman fight, you always blame the man and never consider that like you, he was completely blameless.

Easy to talk about it, but a mid-60s couple separating after 40 years together is unlikely to happen. He'll be near the end of his performance years, if he hasn't already crossed that threshold (he looks very skinny and frail in the photo), and she's not going to find anyone else at her age, unless she is rich.

 

They'll be fine. He just has to learn something about first aid and what to do next time he is cut LOL.

Dude, that further proves how much your memory has faded, possibly from too much weed use.

 

Now, like Malcy, you might want to get a file system going, as even he has a hard time remembering what I've said. I have mentioned that I've been with around 100 women, and now, read this slowly..........only a few were hurtful relationships, and those were the ones where I had children with them. I'll wait a second so you can record this into your files..................The first wife was diagnosed with a personality disorder, and I ended up with custody of the children, until they left home as adults.

 

Okay, ready?  The second wife was hooked on pain medicine, and started to hallucinate, and had a hard time remembering things, due to her being over prescribed by doctors, which eventually killed her. I left her also, and her daughter said her mom had a lot of problems due to this.

 

The wife here I've explained many times about, being a cheat, liar, scammer and abusive to both me and everyone else in her life, including her children. This is why I left her and will take my daughter to the US .

 

Now, go back and read this again, so you don't make yourself, a supposed adult that went to college, sounds like a person who has a very poor memory and also a lack of restraint.

 

Almost all relationships end, and mine did amicably. Why? Because of different future plans or we were too young to know what we had, as some of those women were very good women, and I left them because back then, I didn't see this.

 

It takes awhile for a person to spot a covert narcissist, which you should look up so you'll understand their agenda, as I've explained it many times here before. That's why I stayed with this last one, as she's pretty and charming, but underneath she's a very sick manipulator that likes control. Why? Because her mother taught her this with abuse and neglect. That her mother told my now girlfriend that her daughter was wrong in what she did to me further proves what she's all about.

 

When I make a comment, it comes from experience and reading, plus observation. I don't stick up for any side but look at who looks like the one in the wrong, so you saying I'm always blaming the man is yet another reply from a poor memory. What I do , is respect women, and know full well how bad some men treat their women and expect them to be slaves, then cry when they aren't given sex.

 

If you read the hundreds of books and articles I have about relationships, you might understand more about women and men. Think real good about your own life, which you've posted about here, and you blamed your wife and kids. Who's really at fault, you or them? It does take two, but sometimes it's all on one side, and again, seeing I've had mostly good relationships and a few bad ones, that means the women I picked to have children with have problems, which were proven. When you treat a woman well, and she turns on you, it's not your fault, and when you get custody of all your kids, there' s something about that.

True, and no matter how old a person is, they still have a mindset from younger days. He might have cheated before and this was the last straw, and he might not have treated his wife well, and she was hesitant to give him any, so he felt the need to look outside, when it could have been a lack of communication all along, and maybe for 40 years. She might be a mean bitch all along also, and it drove him away, but grabbing her by the neck has one looking to defend, and hurt back. She might never go this far again, and he might have learned a lesson, so hopefully, especially for the kids, this calms down and stays that way.

I thought he was one of the fittest 65 year old's  I've ever seen in Pattaya.  Calves look muscular and trim upper body.  Compared to the average 65 yo in Pats he is a stud.  Wish the article would share  his hospital  vitals 🙂  How many 65 year old's do you know that can run downstairs and into the street as the article hinted?

 

edit: Average BMI for a 65 year old is 31-32 which puts them in the obese category 🙂
