The taking of different life wasn't my point. What I was wondering about was this: was the physical abuse so bad the woman felt she was acting in self-defense?  This has been a successfully used defense strategy in jury trials in the case of repeated physical abuse of one partner by another.

I think the self defence strategy would only work if she was being beaten at the time and did it herself, not plausible if you have arranged hitmen!

Unlike the civilized West.

What point are you trying to make here? Yes violence can be found everywhere but it's no exaggeration to point out that Thailand is one of those countries where violent instincts run close to the surface.

Your comment is unfair to animals.

 I would be more concerned about owing 133000 to a hit man!!

 

For that money lady you will be looking over your shoulder for a  very long time

She could not tolerate his behavior so decided to have him shot.

 

Could have been worse, she might have severed the offending member.

[cardinalblue]

My guess is he is a wife beater and a wandering d**k....

 

feel bad for her b/c she felt she didn't have any options which obviously not the case...emotion got the best of her...

 

more troubling to me is the wife beating bullying to cover up his wrong and how easy other people can eliminate others for a few bucks...just no moral conscience

 

plus, why so little down? Minimum  50% down...but what? No trust among criminals? Off they go w/o carrying out the hit? More immoral behavior....

 

where are the safety nets in LOS? Dog eat dog society...

That's a big price for a hit in Thailand and a big price for a teacher to pay.  Something is fishy  if they had sort if money then corruption was involved in one of their careers id guess.

Good point, otherwise it would have been better to hit the girl friend,  and probably less chance of being identified. 

Intellectual vacuum again. Not your reply but the woman involved. U still don't get why i stay clear from them? But of course will not agree with me and but but but...

FACE. Anger builds up and then explodes. Immature way of dealing with emotions touted as supreme Thainess by the good leader. Serfs eating their pride 24/7, the pee is always right just because he is older or born in higher/richer caste.

Unfortunately.   It is still murder and that in no way excuses it.

Ah! True love... how bitter sweet it can be sometimes. 

She caved in to the police, what a way to get a discount, Dech will change his story when they bring the other suspect in, because he will confess and finger Dech to get a lighter sentence.

Wonder if the teacher will still get her school pension in the Hilton ???

[harrry]

She does not deserve to, her husband will not get his.

WOW talk about true loves irrationality. She should have approached this in a calmer manner and called for tenders. She would have had a lot of bahts leftover to take a honeymoon for one. 

Yep, and now she also managed to teach all her children or students how to solve a problem in a very effective and absolute way.

[Petmag]

Lets see if the hitmen turn up at the police station and demand the rest of the money..

And in a 'non confrontational society'.

 

TL was once my Shangri La, now it's as big a basket case as PI. I've lived in both, but fortunately I don't any longer.

"he wife said that she had paid 17,000 baht up front and was due to pay the rest on completion of the crime. But she was arrested before she could pay."

 

Surprising they accepted such a small deposit but defaulting on payments to  hitmen is a rather dangerous practice.  She will probably be murdered herself while awaiting trial or inside.  

 

She has removed a problem in her life by destroying her own life.  It would have been more sensible to just go and live with her sister or something but these people don't think in logical thought patterns.

such type of crimes will keep going on, here in Thailand or anywhere else in the world as long as no applying equal sentences to such crimes, who killed with plan in mind to kill, should be killed with out any dodging ways, in some states in the US, they are applying the justice fairly in this regard,

whoever will defend on human rights, to ban excretion,, bla bla bla, why these criminals did not respect the right of life of their victims? they should be directed to the hell, so that everyone planning to assassinate someone else, will think many times before doing so, this is the right justice to such type of crime,

done as you would like done by.

[SOTIRIOS]

...we have no proof of infidelity...or beatings....

 

..but a confession to conspiracy to murder.....

 

...don't you think that any and all criminals would say anything when caught...???

 

...and anyway...is there any justification for contracting a murder....???

 

...anything to do with insurance or pension...or not wanting to split the assets....???

 

...come on.....

thai girl not caring about their men bonking karaoke girls is a myth.   its just most wont go to the extent of killing them............................................be careful of who you cheat on.

Its unusual that the "mastermind" (not really) that paid for

the hit ,gets caught before the actual hitmen,

regards Worgeordie

Not in Thailand, they almost always go and question the spouse in the first instance.

 

Because it's almost always either a love triangle or a business dispute, innit.

The spouse is commonly the first suspect in any murder, even in the West; it doesn't have to be Thailand.

Yes, this sort of thing only happens in Thailand, doesn't it, a country so lacking in morals?  I don't suppose there could be a moral vacuum in your country?

Perhaps. Or perhaps, loss of face in thailand has socially legitimised rogue assassination. This a commonplace in Thai society.

Sheer nonsense.

Its also what she says... the beating. And thais are always honest. 555. A mature way to deal with beating and cheating is: DIVORCE. no excuses. So many thais have no control over their emotions. Lie lie lie smile smile smile until ultraviolence steps in and it OFTEN does.

[portroyal]

Just told the story to my wife...

she thinks the teacher was right.

hoops, brrrrr....

Husbands/boyfriends who beat their wives/girlfriends are vermin, they should all be shot.
