Man enters widow's house in Roi-Et and came with his head covered in blood

ROI-ET: -- Man enters widow's house in Roi-Et and gets more than he bargained for

The incident happened at a house in Dong Lan district of the north eastern Thai town of Roi-et province. According to a Thai Rath report, the man was eventually attacked by the people in the house. He tried to flee but was later surrounded by neighbors who came to help. He was later apprehended by the police.

Named only as "A", the 44-year-old widow told the police that she was woken up sometime after midnight of noises in the house. When the lights were turned on, the noises stopped. 

She went to bed again but the noises came back. She thought her mother was going into the toilet. But when she turned the lights on, she saw her 51-year-old neighbor Khongsit Sawatsala standing her bedroom doorway.

She grabbed her deceased husband's .38 gun which she kept under her pillow and fired two warning shots. The man tried to grab the gun, and it went off three more times into the ceiling

ThaiVisa reported that the victim's mother came and she was kicked to the ground. The victim's 17 year old daughter grabbed an electric iron and smacked Khongsit in the head that caused him to flee.

But thanks to neighbors who heard the commotion he did not get far. When police arrived they found the assailant covered in blood with three serious injuries to the head.

He said it was all one big misunderstanding. He had seen the widow earlier in the day and she had ignored him, he claimed. So after drinking heavily until midnight he went to see her to ask why she would not speak to him.

That was all, he claimed, adding: "I don't know why it had to end like this," ThaiVisa added.
