Kanchanaburi:– Pinij Sithikul, 48, died in an accident as he was apparently drunk when crossing the track and getting hit by the locomotive during a chase to assault his wife, a police officer said.

Alerted about the accident last night, Police Lieutenant Thanawat Suwanwechoof Mueang Kanchanaburi police station went to investigate at the scene.

Thanawat found the body of Pinij in the middle of the train track near Ban Kao train station.

Pinij’s head was crushed above the nose. His right angle was also crushed. A 60-centimeter machete was found dropped nearby the body.

Police sent the body for autopsy at the provincial hospital.

Based statement of witnesses, Pinij was out drinking with friends and appeared drunk upon returning home located near the train track.

He got into an argument with his wife. As he picked up the machete, the wife fled the house and ran across the track.

He gave chase wielding the machete and cut in front of the incoming locomotive which was trying to link with the train at Ban Kao station before travelling on to Bangkok’s Thonburi.

Witnesses said he was trying to charge at his wife without looking before crossing the track.

Neighbours said they heard frequent arguments between the husband and wife.

The wife survived and was in shock. She could not give any statement.

Thanawat said he would gather evidence before completing the police report. If there is evidence of negligence, the locomotive driver may face legal proceedings.

The Headline still said the Locomotive Hit Him.

Just like the Butler, the Loco always 'did it'.

He hit it - just as a bug hits a windscreen...

Him: "I've got a machete!"

Her: "I'll see your machete and raise you a train!"

His right angle was crushed

Was that a 45 or 90 degree right angle

Its time to get a new editor or a 5 year old to proof read these stories

At least his obtuse angle will no longer dangle.

Feel sorry for the poor Loco driver, the team scraping/picking up the bits and the wife

"She could not give any statement."

But very glad she remembered the train schedule and it was right on time.

It was a 45 degree right angle... because he was facing backward... and could only see 180 degrees of the circle around him.
