A husband suspected his wife was cheating and confronted her after hiding in the back of her car. He used a crossbow to fatally shoot her before stabbing himself.
On October 8, 2024, at 2 PM, police were alerted to a disturbance with injuries and a fatality near a restaurant in Bangkok. Authorities arrived to find a Toyota Vios with the driver, Mr. Natthaphon Kaewmongkol, 42, and his wife, Ms. Chonthicha Unphakdee, 36, both with serious injuries—she was shot in the forehead and stabbed over twenty times with a knife.
The couple had a tumultuous past, with Mr. Natthaphon expressing suspicion over his wife’s fidelity. He hid in her car as she drove to meet a man she was suspected of having an affair with at a nearby restaurant. After a confrontation, he shot her and then turned the weapon on himself, causing injury.
An eyewitness stated they saw a commotion with Mr. Natthaphon attacking his wife, prompting shouts for help. Many bystanders hesitated, thinking the incident might be scripted for a movie being filmed in the area, only to discover it was real.
Following the incident, investigators confirmed that Ms. Chonthicha had met the man suspected of being her alleged lover several times at the same location, with Mr. Natthaphon presumably aware of these meetings. Authorities plan to analyze CCTV footage and interview Mr. Natthaphon further once he recovers to understand the full circumstances of the tragedy.
