Man arrested for stabbing to death wife’s new husband

The authorities have arrested a man in Prachinburi province for allegedly stabbing to death his estranged wife's new husband after seeing the victim sleeping on his bed, police said.


According to police, the killing took place at a house in Ban Nong Hua Ling village in Tombon Phongam in Prachinburi’s Prachantakham district at 10.30pm on Thursday. The victim was identified as 40-year-old Preecha Khunnathee.

The suspect, Apichart Boonaticha, 43, didn't leave the scene and surrendered to police when they arrived.

Suthima Boonaticha, 42, Apichart Boonaticha's estranged wife, told police that she and her husband had separated for five months but she had not yet legally divorced him.

Suthima said she took her 13-year-old son to live with Preecha in Sakaew for five months and had returned just two days ago to live in the old house where she used to live with Apichart, The Nation reported. 

She said Apichart learned from their son that she had returned to the house so he stormed into the house and her bedroom on Thursday night. Seeing Preecha lying beside her on the bed, he stabbed him. Preecha was drunk and deep in sleep and died immediately, the report added.

Apichart told police he could not control his rage after seeing the new man lying on his bed.
