Crime Village Official Murders Wife in Jealous Rage with Hammer Blows to the Head
Picture courtesy of Khaosod. A village assistant headman has confessed to brutally murdering his wife in a jealous rage on 19 May, just six months after their marriage. The victim was found dead in her bedroom, having suffered multiple fatal blows to the head with a heavy hammer. Police were called to a single-storey home in Dong Chen subdistrict, Phu Kam Yao district, Phayao province, following a report of a suspected homicide. Upon arrival at the scene, officers from Phu Kam Yao Police Station, along with doctors from Phayao Hospital and rescue personnel, discovered the body of a woman identified as Ms Kannika, 32, lying on her right side, on the bed. She was dressed in sleepwear, and her head had suffered extensive trauma. Blood was splattered across the mattress and surrounding walls. A examination revealed that she had been struck four times with a hammer, twice to the forehead and twice to the back of the head, causing fatal skull fractures. The suspect, Mr Sommit 53, an assistant village headman, was found at the scene waiting to surrender. He admitted to the killing, telling police that the couple had been arguing constantly over suspected infidelity since their marriage six months prior. On the night of the incident, a heated argument erupted once again. According to Mr Sommit, his wife insulted his family, causing him to lose control. In a fit of rage, he took a hammer from the corner of the room and struck her on the head while she lay on the bed. “I didn’t plan to kill her. I was blinded by anger. I regret what I’ve done,” he told police during his confession. Police have charged Mr Sommit with homicide. He was taken for a crime scene reenactment before being held for further interrogation. The victim’s body has been sent for a post-mortem examination at the forensic department. Adapted by Asean Now from Khasod 2025-05-21. -

UN Warns of Growing Crisis as Aid Fails to Reach Gazans Despite Border Crossings
UN Warns of Growing Crisis as Aid Fails to Reach Gazans Despite Border Crossings Despite a recent breakthrough that saw aid trucks finally entering Gaza following an 11-week blockade, the United Nations has confirmed that no humanitarian assistance has yet been distributed to those in need. On Tuesday, Israeli authorities reported that 93 trucks had entered the Gaza Strip via the Kerem Shalom crossing, carrying vital supplies such as flour, baby formula, medical equipment, and pharmaceutical drugs. However, UN officials stated that the aid, though technically inside Gaza, had not reached the people it was intended to help. The lack of distribution, according to UN spokesperson Stéphane Dujarric, stems from the complicated logistics imposed by Israeli protocols. “Israel required the UN to offload supplies on the Palestinian side of the Kerem Shalom crossing, and reload them separately once they secure our teams' access from inside the Gaza Strip,” he explained. Dujarric acknowledged the arrival of the supplies as a step forward, but warned, “It’s a drop in the ocean of what’s needed.” The international community has responded with mounting criticism over Israel’s ongoing military actions and its delay in facilitating humanitarian aid. The UK government has suspended trade talks with Israel, denouncing its military escalation as "morally unjustifiable." Prime Minister Sir Keir Starmer called the situation "intolerable." Meanwhile, European Union foreign policy chief Kaja Kallas announced that the EU would be reviewing its existing trade agreements with Israel due to its conduct in Gaza. Concerns over the humanitarian toll continue to grow. The UN’s humanitarian chief Tom Fletcher issued a stark warning during an interview with the BBC, stating, “There are 14,000 babies that will die in the next 48 hours unless we can reach them.” That was 24 hours ago. Fletcher noted that strong teams are working on the ground in medical centers and schools, but did not elaborate on how the number was calculated. When questioned, the UN Office for the Coordination of Humanitarian Affairs (UNOCHA) offered clarification, saying the figure refers to 14,000 babies suffering from severe acute malnutrition who require immediate aid, citing data from the Integrated Food Security Phase Classification (IPC). The IPC estimates that between April 2025 and March 2026, around 14,100 cases of acute malnutrition among children aged six to 59 months are expected in Gaza, but stressed that this figure represents a projection over a year—not within a 48-hour window. In the United States, Secretary of State Marco Rubio expressed cautious optimism during a Senate Foreign Relations Committee hearing. “We are pleased to see that aid is starting to flow in again,” he said. Responding to a concern raised by a Democrat senator regarding the insufficiency of aid volumes, Rubio acknowledged, “I understand your point that it’s not in sufficient amounts, but we were pleased to see that decision was made.” Pressure is also mounting from other global leaders. The UK, France, and Canada jointly urged the Israeli government on Monday to “stop its military operations” and to “immediately allow humanitarian aid to enter Gaza.” In conjunction with its trade suspension, the UK has also imposed sanctions on several prominent Israeli settlers and groups linked to settlement activity. The current humanitarian crisis follows Israel’s military campaign in Gaza, launched in retaliation for the October 7, 2023, cross-border attack by Hamas, which killed around 1,200 people and led to 251 hostages being taken. As the conflict continues, the world watches with increasing alarm as aid remains stalled and the suffering deepens in Gaza. Adapted by ASEAN Now from BBC 2025-05-21
