A 60-year-old man in Pathum Thani beat his 59-year-old wife to death with a tire iron and a wooden tool after a jealous argument ending their 31-year marriage. The husband surrendered to police at the scene and confessed to the killing, citing long-standing family conflicts and his wife's accusations of infidelity. Police have charged him and sent the body for autopsy.
Pathum Thani: After living together for 31 years, a wife suspected her husband of having a mistress, leading to a heated argument. The enraged husband lost control, grabbing a tire iron and a three-pronged wooden tool, and beat his wife to death. He then sat waiting to surrender to police at the scene.
On November 12, 2026, Police Lieutenant Pirayut Thapsang, investigator at Pratu Nam Chulalongkorn Police Station, received a report of a quarrel and death. The incident occurred at house number 85, Moo 3, in Soi Rangsit-Nakhon Nayok 10, Prachathipat Subdistrict, Thanyaburi District, Pathum Thani Province.
Upon arrival with investigators, patrol officers, doctors from Prachathipat Hospital, and Por Teck Tung Foundation rescuers, they found the scene in the middle of the alley, which operates as a grocery store and used car dealership. The victim, a 59-year-old woman wearing a black T-shirt and black shorts, lay face down in a pool of blood at the house. She had severe head wounds from blunt force trauma and a deep laceration. Nearby lay a three-pronged wooden tool about 1.5 meters long and a bloodstained tire iron. The perpetrator, the 60-year-old husband, was sitting waiting to surrender to police at the scene.
During questioning, the 60-year-old husband stated the cause was a long-simmering family conflict. They had argued repeatedly because his wife often spoke harshly and accused him of planning to take a mistress. Although he tried to walk away, his wife followed and continued arguing, provoking him until he lost control. He admitted they had lived together for 31 years and had one child. His wife ran the grocery store while he sold used cars. He confessed to using the wooden tool to attack her and affirmed he had no intention of fleeing, accepting responsibility for his actions.
Police Lieutenant Pirayut Thapsang, along with a doctor, conducted a preliminary autopsy and recorded evidence before the Por Teck Tung Foundation transported the body to Thammasat Chalerm Phra Kiat Hospital. The husband was taken into custody for further investigation and legal proceedings.
