Psychopath Husband Kills Wife For Being Addicted To A Soap Opera

A woman was killed by her husband in Nakorn Pathom for being addicted to a TV soap opera.

NAKORN PATHOM – October 18, 2013 [PDN]; Nakorn Chaisri Police were able to arrest 26 year-old Surachai Maisila. He was arrested for killing his 25 year-old wife, doctors at the hospital were not able to save her life.

Police stated that the suspect admitted that he did use a hard object to beat her to death. He claimed that he did that because his wife wouldn’t shut down their television as she was addicted to a soap opera. This made the suspect extremely mad which lead to the incident.

Mr. Surachai is now police custody and will now be charged for assault and murder.

"Police stated that the suspect admitted that he did use a hard object to beat her to death"

This has to be the stupidest statement I have ever read.

Could he have used a soft object to beat her to death?

admitted that he did use a hard object to beat her to death

sounds like the script from a porn movie gone wrong...

Maybe Surachai wanted someone to play the penny whistle for him, she wasnt interested instead watching the soaps so he beat her to death with it...

It was probably the TV that he used.

It is a wonder, there are not more! murders.

I felt like that with my EX who wasnt Thai, always had visons of picking up the TV and smashing it over her head...

[Dr Robert]

this is a repugnant brutal murder and the flippant attempts at humour in here denigrate the woman, her family and friends. Imagine the victim was your sister or your friend or your daughter-would you be making snide jibes then? I think not. Show some restraint in commenting on what is a very unfunny event.

[spirit47]

That's why I don't have a TV...

But he better beat the TV...

And you see, TV make your brain, look like grey gelatine.

Why she not close?

congratulations, despite your lack of English you were able to convey your insensitivity and lack of compassion just as well as those who write perfect English.

Thanks for allowing me to bask in the splendor of your intelligent tidbits! Riveting.

Thanks for the compliment, no one has ever said I write perfect English before....

I am not even an "English" teacher, maybe a new career path for me perhaps..

Personally I prefer someone making black humour type comments over someone who posts mock sympathy and mock outrage in their posts wouldnt you agree..?

Actually some people may take offense over your avatar, after all didnt the two gentlemen concerned make a movie taking the p*ss out of some geezer they nailed up on a cross 2000 years ago ?

Soap operas actually cause a lot of disharmony and marriage unhappiness/divorces throughout the world....the very nature is ususally based on mistrust and betrayel...some get addicted to the thought process and mix real life with the fantasy of the soaps......

RIP Mrs,

It sounds like after she was your EX she bacame my EX. I had the same inclination but never followed through with it. After my old gf passed away last May, God rest her soul I have a new old gf. One of the pre-arrangements was she never watches the scream a minute Thai soaps in the same room as me. She has her own tv and private room. So far so good.

[sms747]

I have every sympathy with the bloke, murdering her was a bit much though, why not just smash up the TV? oh it's on youtube as well, my mrs watches lakorn on the the tv then switches to the laptop in the small hours.

Nothing mock in my sympathy, not so much outrage as complete puzzlement as to what drives such commentary, and artfully taking the piss is something I admire. You are drawing a very long bow to squeeze critique from an avatar; in fact it is intellectually dishonest. You are understandably embarrassed by your thoughtless retort on the tragic death of an innocent woman, wouldn't you agree...?

I read two of your posts and you have only succeeded in being condescending.

My wife said she heard on the news early today that the story initially given was he did hit her with a bamboo stick in the back, the wife then ran outside on the porch where she slipped, fell, and hit her heat,....and later died in the hospital. I expect this was the husband's "initial" story to the police and news media....but during further questioning by the police he must have admitted to beating her to death vs the slip & fall story.

[expat888]

I have no tolerance for the Thai TV stuff so I don't have it in the house at all. Thai TV is the epitome of mindlessness.

It's like watching Saturday matinee for children.

[Beetlejuice]

This case confirms that not even the Thais can tolerate these soap operas.

[stubuzz]

He probably got the idea from a Thai soap opera! They are full of meaningless violence.

[maengda]

I love Thai soaps. Whenever there is a gunfight they never have to reload. Lol.

[fish fingers]

sounds like he was sexually frustrated, the blunt hard object was probably his

[harryfrompattaya]

It is a wonder, there are not more! murders.

Maybe we should hang the story in Thai next to the TV

[trainman34014]

Another lunatic posing as a normal man in Thailand. Seems to me a story with a similar ending emerges every day in this country, there must be a lot of men here with green worms inside their heads.

RIP the poor Lady; all she was doing was watching TV !

[DocN]

It really irritates me, how easy and for what stupid reasons people get killed here!

RIP the victim1

By the way: she got killed! Murdered!

Good, that some of you see the humorous side of that!

[SickOfEm]

If they want to watch that crap let them, use the spare time wisely like go to the nearest bar and drink yourself into oblivion.

[A1Str8]

Husband beats wife to death for watching soap opera. Another husband kills the wife for denying sex...what is wrong with people?

[bubblegum]

But.... why call him a psychopath ?

[Sharp]

Sounds like a scene from the soaps
