Phitsanulok: Hunt on for Chinese husband after brutal slaying of Thai wife

A Chinese man is believed to have fled to his homeland after killing his Thai wife at their home in Wat Jan sub-district of Muang district Pitsanulok at the weekend. 

Forty one year old Nanphika Ketthong was found stabbed in the head with her hands bound with nylon cord and her feet secured in handcuffs. The bloodied corpse was semi-clothed in bed wrapped in a blanket. 

Husband Yee Ee sai or “Liang”, 41, a Chinese national was missing. So was the family Toyota. 

Immigration police discovered that he left Thailand via Suvarnabhumi airport on Sunday at 10.08 am and was thought to be headed for China. 

An arrest warrant is out and contact has been made with Interpol. 

When police and forensics teams arrived at the bungalow on Monday it was evident that Nanphika had been dead around 48 hours with decomposition already setting in. 

Her mother and younger brother arrived from Sukhothai. The brother said she had asked him to pick her up at Phitsanulok airport but she didn’t mention a time. He assumed that her husband had met her instead. 

Neighbors reported hearing an argument and the victim screaming for help but no one wanted to intervene in a domestic dispute. 

Phitsanulokhotnews reported that the the victim and her husband ran a soy milk shop. She was a nice woman who gave milk to elderly neighbors but he was an angry man who kept himself to himself and had previously assaulted his wife.
