Drunk husband kills wife in rage with bamboo stick in northeast Thailand

Yesterday, police in the Thung Fon district of Thailand‘s northeast Udon Thani province were called to investigate a husband’s brutal killing of his wife with a bamboo stick. The incident occurred at a residence in Ban Kam Ta Tan, Moo 6, in Thung Yai sub-district.

Upon arrival, the officers discovered the lifeless body of 54 year old Ruedee Khetkhongkwang, who had been brutally beaten with a hard object.

The main suspect in the murder was the victim’s husband, Pornsai Sri Chaiyamool, who initially fled the scene. However, he was soon captured by the police. In his statement, Pornsai admitted to killing his wife after discovering her asleep, as a result of an argument fuelled by jealousy. The couple had been together for almost a year, working in rice farming and general labour. They had two children from previous relationships living with them.
