webfact Posted May 27, 2020 Share Posted May 27, 2020 Briton arrested for allegedly throwing Thai wife off 8th floor balcony By THE NATION Immigration police chief Pol Lt-General Sompong Chingduang on Wednesday (May 27) announced the arrest of Briton David J. M., 47, who fled the scene after allegedly throwing his Thai wife Sukanda (last name withheld) off the eighth floor of a condo in Rayong province. “The incident took place on April 28 at Ban Chang Cliff Beach Condotel in Rayong,” said Sompong. “The victim survived, because her fall was broken by the balcony on the seventh floor, but suffered serious injuries. She also told officers that her husband had forcefully detained her in the room for several days.” Police reportedly tracked the suspect down to Baron Residence Hotel in Bangkok’s Soi Lad Phrao 130 using the biometric scanning system. The suspect had allegedly jumped from hotel to hotel in Bangkok. M. reportedly confessed to assaulting his wife because she was threatening to leave him for another man after he had put all his assets in her name. Rayong court had issued an arrest warrant against M. for attempted murder and holding someone against their will.

Sounds like marriage made in heaven, scheming thai woman marries violent farang from new report Though, I very much doubt that she would threaten to leave after already getting everything and new man - she would just have gone 13 1 Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Fex Bluse Posted May 28, 2020 Share Posted May 28, 2020 I'll tell you what. Thais are robust people for sure. There are so many stories of them surviving what us old Farangs never do. Not making light of the seriousness, but I was not surprised that she survived. 2 Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Popular Post cardinalblue Posted May 28, 2020 Popular Post Share Posted May 28, 2020 Smart wealthy people don’t put all their assets in someone else’s name... so yes, I do agree he probably didn’t have a lot combined with incredibly low self esteem/confidence... 7th floor balcony broke her fall meaning she fell one floor? I doubt she hit the 7th floor and then fell to the ground? She would have died whether it was 7th or 8th floor free fall from either height....poorly choice of words 4 Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

If he kept assets in his name, maybe he'd have gone over the balcony or had some other "accident". Try to keep your assets or your mind: choose one, get neither. I don't approve of his actions. He should have paid closer attention to what was below his balcony. 2 Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

I would be fascinated to learn how scanning a person's fingerprints and face at the airport could help find that person at a hotel that does not scan the fingerprints or faces of its guests. 10 1 Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Stargeezr Posted May 28, 2020 Share Posted May 28, 2020 If his assets were a house, well we foreigners can only get condos in our name. So of he also put other stuff in her name, duh, good move guy. The rest is standard if you want to live in a house, you need a wife to have the house in her name. Not a great ending for this fellow.
