Thread: Man shoots wife in head after she refused him liquor money

Seems reasonable.

A man shot dead his wife as she lay next to their baby on Wednesday (April 22) after she refused to buy him more liquor.

Yee San Police Station in Samut Songkhram province was notified of the incident before daybreak by a relative of the victim. The alleged killer was still on the run on Wednesday.

Officers arrived at the scene to discover the body of Yupaporn Poonpipit, 36, lying with a gunshot wound to her head as their nine-month-old baby boy cried next to her corpse.

The dead woman was found with Bt700 still clutched in her hand. The shell from an 11mm-calibre pistol was also found at the scene.

Police learned that the couple were vendors whose business had been suspended during the pandemic crisis, leaving them without any income. Police named the husband as Winai Maila-or, 35, who was reportedly a regular drinker.

A witness said that he saw Winai argue with Yupaporn after she refused to give money to buy liquor and then heard gunshots, before Winai drove away from the house.

Uncouth and uncivilised savages.

Very sad.

And he never even took the Bt700, so clearly it wasn't an issue of addiction.

Pretty sure there's a beer ban, Winai

May be there was originally more than 700 Baht? But being an honest person he only took enough to satisfy his needs. Very honest of him really.

They are indeed savages. Elsewhere aberrant criminal behaviour occurs as a sporadic illustration of the human condition's penchant for brutish incomprehensible violence but here in the LoS it's fucking systemic.

But really, in how many decent civilised societies do itinerant pedlars go about the place selling their wares armed with a fucking 11 mm handgun.

What a freaking coward. This guy must be jailed immediately!!!!

Good question. People with available large-calibre firearms might not see the need to peddle in the first place.

Pretty much any country with an illicit drugs market you fukin idiot, including most of your civilised European coutries.
