Iranian Man Murders His Thai Wife Then Attempts To

[Eric Davis]

And now one of the most horrific murder and suicide cases we have ever reported on. We must warn you that the pictures and details of the story may disturb some viewers. Police Major Sirapop from Pattaya Polcie Station was called to room number 41/17 at the Gidja Apartments in South Pattaya after neigbours reported the death of the room’s two occupants. Inside the room was a scene of utter carnage. The two individuals are Mr. Ahamad Mohamad aged 36 from Iran and his wife, Khun Nitnoi aged 27. In a “Romeo & Juliet” style murder and suicide, the couple were holding hands, with the woman slumped over the end of the bed and the Iranian man on the floor clenching his wife. Upon inspection by a rescue unit, the man was found to be alive and was rushed to hospital. A forensic doctor described to us the horrific injury sustained by Khun Nitnoi. It appeared that her husband had slashed her throat and had attempted to remove the skin from her face. We then understand that Mr. Mohamad repeatedly smashed his head into a television until he rendered himself unconscious. Iranian officials from Bangkok have been brought in to assist Police with this case, and the chances of the Iranian man surviving have been put at only 20%.

Sounds like an honor killing to me with him trying to remove the skin from her face.

What was that John Travolta film showing last week ?

Ah! 'Face Off'

But I didn't think it was that bad.

Nasty Business - not sure where the comparison to Romeo/Juliet is coming from? (apart from dbl suicide)
