Cambodian mother slashes son’s throat in Chon Buri

Chon Buri :- A 47-year-old Cambodian mother slashed the throat of her five-year-old son Monday after her husband abandoned her a month ago, police said.

The woman was identified as Panla Bon, a construction worker who was also badly injured after she also cut her own throat.

Pol Lt Winai Horien, an interrogator of Nong Plua police station, was alerted of the murder and suicide attempt at 4 pm Monday.

He rushed to the rented room on Soi 4 in Tambon Nong Plua, Bang Lamung district, with rescuers of Sawang Boribun Thammasathan Pattaya Foundation.

The officials found the Cambodian woman severely injured. The rescuers performed a first-aid treatment and rushed her to the Bang Lamung Hospital.

Police later found the body of the five-year-old Cambodian boy in the room. His head was nearly cut off.

Another Cambodian woman, Chan, 26, told police that she saw Panla, who appeared drunk, walking out of her room with a knife and gesturing that she would slash her wrist. Panla then walked back to her room.

Chan then alerted a Thai neighbor who checked and found that Panla had injured herself and killed her son so he called police.

Pol Col Pramote Ngarmpradit, chief inspector of the Bang Lamung police station, neighbors told police Panla liked to drink, prompting her husband to leave her. Pramote said the husband returned to Cambodia a month ago.

Panla could not testify as her vocal cords were almost cut by the knife. Police will detain her at the hospital and take her to the police station for murder charge after her condition improves, Pramote said.

horrible news to read , poor little guy had no choice

So sad

Should have e let her finish what she started...doubt she wants to be alive after what she did.

She probably doesn't realise what she's done, she's obviously got mental issues and in a very bad place, a mother wouldn't intentionally hurt her own child if she was of sound mind

And these poor immigration workers are here to build our condos, getting paid a slave salary. It's disgusting , she might have mental issues but I'll blame the developers that brought her here in the first place because they want to build a cheap condo using cheap imported labor.

I certainly see your point and I agree it's more likely economic circumstances and maybe lack of a partner, rather than mental illness, drove her to do what she did. However, do the farangs who want to purchase a small piece of "paradise" for a million baht bare any responsibility?

Looking at it from her perspective, given her and her child's situation, she probably thought the best course of action was a life do-over (as her likely religious beliefs promised).

I'm no expert on salaries, but I think they are much higher than in their own country.
