Former Boxer Burns His Ex-Girlfriend Alive: Police
By Khaosod English



BANGKOK: -- A former professional boxer has been arrested after he has set fire on his ex-girlfriend out of jealousy, police said.

On 13 January police received reports that the woman, Ms. Supawadee Boonchote, 24, was dosed with gasoline and set on fire in front of a convenience store in Udon Thani province by an assailant who arrived and left the scene on a motorcycle with no license plate.

The victim was later transported to the hospital. Doctors said she suffered severe burned injuries, and she remains under intensive care.

The police later identified the attacker as Mr. Baramee Srikul, 42, a former famous boxer who went by his nickname Baramee Petchpiroon. The officers also reportedly found burns on Mr. Baramee′s both hands.

The suspect reportedly confessed of his crime, stating that he had been in a relationship with the victim since last year. However, Mr. Baramee said, Ms. Supawadee later ended the relationship with him as she preferred to be in a relationship with a woman.

After several failed attempts to regain his relationship with him, Mr. Baramee said he decided to commit a revenge by setting the woman on fire.

The investigation also revealed that the couple often had heated arguments, and the former boxer regularly ended up beating Ms. Supawadee.

She eventually portrayed herself as a tom boy and engaged in a relationship with another woman in the community to stop Mr. Baramee from asking her to go back into the relationship, police said.

[bangkokheat]

[clockman]

Nice peaceful smiling people! except when they loose face.

"Mr. Baramee Srikul, 42, a former famous boxer who went by his nickname Baramee Petchpiroon"

I thought nicknames were supposed to be shorter than the real name....

[otherstuff1957]

I notice that the police are not smiling in this picture. In fact, they look quite annoyed with him.

I can - just another emotionally retarded reaction by a Thai man who felt he had lost face, same happens all the time. This is just the more extreme reaction from the inability to cope with criticism, rejection or almost any setback. Amazing Thailand- it begins with the people!

[Thai at Heart]

Retarded. Tragic

[poisonus]

To quote a Thai commentator yesterday.

'A coup is unlikely, Thais are not violent people'... I almost choked on my sandwich.

They can seem to do this and hurl grenades into packs of people without any sense of restraint. I would say Thai people are among the most violent I have ever met.

[JUDAS]

Sometimes, just sometimes, I believe an eye for an eye is the only punishment.

Me Too, In Adelaide courts right now is a women who torched her ex boyfriend.

[Lingba]

This is sick..I would love to see a follow up to this story to find out what punishment if any is dealt to this guy

[Costas2008]

500 Baht fine

You've not been to a Millwall v West Ham football game.

[fstarbkk]

"the couple often had heated arguments" seems like a particularly unfortunate choice of words under the circumstances.

[salavan]

she chose another woman because he wasnt man enough

this man was in serious danger of loosing one of his faces

Me too. I can't understand why some people can't understand what some people... oh, never mind.

Hope she recovers fully and he gets what's coming to him.

Yes, hope she makes a full recovery and No, he won't get what's due to him - unless of course she organises his just-desserts, and you couldn't blame her, could you?

[LuckyLew]

HELL is an appropriate place for him

hope she make a complete recovery from her injuries

Sadly agree with you.

500 Baht fine

You should be ashamed.

A really needless, stupid and ugly comment.

yeah, you are probably right.

[chooka]

What a sick individual

Think (hope) the poster was being facetious.

He is already living here, and no she almost certainly will be seriously scarred for life.

[FangFerang]

It was plainly sick and coincidental with English euphamisms rarely being understood by Thais to say "the couple had

heated arguments".

To me he is just another mad dog that needs to be put to sleep.

[trainman34014]

Evil sicko's stalk this land on a daily basis. It's only January; how many stories will we read like this before the year ends ?

I wish the Young Lady a speedy recovery and hope she finds the arms of a really caring Man in the future.

Needless......maybe........Realistic............Yes.

Then you should be living on the set of Game of Thrones and not in the 21st century. Why not try Afghanistan once the Taliban take over again, or perhaps Kim Jong-Un's nice little regime? I'm sure these people would welcome you with open arms.

What this 'human being' did to someone he claimed to love is cowardice. We demonstrate our moral superiority by showing the sociopathic thug how to use the power we have - by not using it to influct suffering on others. If he just doesn't get it, that's fine, because Thai prisons don't have the luxuries that many western inmates are used to.

Guess he got one too many knocks on the head being a famous former boxer......and since he was famous then nothing will happen to him.
