Saraburi: An infuriated wife rammed her car into her husband's motorcycle, resulting in his death on a busy road, later stomping on his face in a fit of rage.
According to Thai News Agency, the incident followed a heated disagreement between the couple, with the wife expressing frustration over spending millions of baht on her husband, only for him to seek a divorce.
Footage captured by a rescue worker's dashcam, who was following the woman's vehicle, shows the injured man lying on the road. Another clip captures the woman approaching the injured man and stomping on his face. The police from Saraburi City Police Station, along with rescue workers, responded swiftly to reports of the collision on Phahonyothin Road, kilometer 102, in the Nong Yao Subdistrict. The motorcycle was found severely damaged, and a black sedan with a shattered front end was parked nearby. The victim, identified as Mr. Apisit, 38, was lying unconscious behind the sedan. Despite efforts from rescue workers, he succumbed to his injuries at the scene.
Mr. Joe, a rescue worker, reported that the driver of the sedan, identified as Aree, 42, was the deceased's wife. She confessed to the argument with her husband over financial issues and indicated her intent to surrender to the police. Relatives of the deceased revealed a history of frequent arguments between the couple, often fueled by financial struggles and jealousy. The couple had been living together for 8-9 months, during which the man expressed a desire for a divorce, but the woman was opposed.
Aree later surrendered to the authorities, recounting that she had lived with the deceased since her ex-husband's death, during which she received insurance money. The deceased, a friend of her ex-husband, had lived off her financial support, which amounted to nearly 1 million baht. Recently, her funds depleted, she found her husband distancing himself, prompting her to confront him. In a moment of anger, she deliberately collided her car with his motorcycle. Authorities have since taken her for a crime reenactment and are proceeding with legal action.
