Husband Kills Wife in Jealous Rage, Then Self-Harms
A jealous husband killed his wife with a knife while they lay on a hammock in Phetchabun province before wounding himself in a failed suicide attempt. He later called for help from neighbors after fearing death, suffering serious injuries. Police responded and found the wife dead at the scene, while the husband was hospitalized and later transferred for further care.
Investigators said the couple had been resting on the hammock before a heated argument over jealousy erupted. The husband used a fruit‑paring knife to stab his wife multiple times in the neck and body, causing her death at the scene. He then inflicted a deep wound to his own neck with the same knife, hoping to die and avoid blame, but after becoming afraid of death he shouted for help. His father, 64‑year‑old Wisach, said he did not know the exact cause or details. The husband was first taken to Nong Phai Hospital in critical condition and later transferred to Phetbun Hospital for further treatment.
