British tourist throws his Thai wife off a 7th floor balcony because he was stressed by Thailand’s coronavirus lock

Thailand is Cambodia's neighbor to the West, and this forum is dedicated to Thai news, stories, reviews, blogs, videos, Thai people and anything else related to the country. A lot of expats have both lived and worked in Cambodia and Thailand, and this area is a place to discuss all aspects of life in Thailand and what's going on there. Most topics are about Bangkok and Pattaya because of their larger populations of expatriates and tourists in those cities, but this is for all things Thai.

maybe she had a bit of cash and was a pseudo sugar mommy to him. he could also prefer someone older, or simply economics reduced the rate she could charge to something within this jackasses means. Either way, perhaps chuck him off a couple of floors higher.

Yeah, traveling thousands of miles and not settling with a lady at least twenty years junior makes no economic, philosophical, physiological, existential sense. He is a revolting type.

Well, I dont think he could not leave his home if he really wanted to. It just shows that C19 is starting to get into people's head. Most importantly, one must remain strong amid this global pandemic. Eat sufficiently on a daily basis (take multi vitamin supplement if need be), have routine good sleep and exercise, take hot/cold water showers can help, and simply be happy regardless of who is or isn't round you.

Yes, the forgiveness is the sort of divine intervention I'm talking about. Luckily, and unlike the other Brit news today, his wife looks like she will recover...so that's good news.

Re the pic..simple.. I couldn't lift it from the news link I included early this morning. Later, I found another image to enhance the story for readers. So I added it to my OP post and a new post for those who wouldn't go back to the top of the topic.

Anything else? Jeez..

Briton Who Threw His Wife Off A Balcony Arrested in Bangkok
May 28, 2020

A Briton who allegedly threw his wife off his balcony in Rayong last month and then fled has been apprehended in Bangkok, Thailand. Immigration police told a press briefing the suspect had been identified as David John Marshall.

Mr Marshall, 47 was arrested after a hotel operator in Bangkok informed police that the suspect had checked in.

Immigration police said the suspect used a biometric passport to check in which alerted the hotel operator. Immigration police said prior to the arrest, the Briton had hidden at several locations in Bangkok.

On April 28, Mr Marshall was arrested after allegedly pushing his wife from the 8th floor of their apartment balcony. Mr. Marshall allegedly had become aggravated due to the coronavirus lockdown.

Upon arrival police and rescue workers found Ms. Sukanda 56 on the 7th floor of the condo still conscious. She was screaming in pain yelling that Marshall had thrown her off their balcony.

Police then tried to communicate with the Briton, however he just kept praying on the condo balcony for hours. No matter what officials said the man never responded, he just kept on praying with his hands placed in front of his chest.

Police were able to contact one of the Briton’s friends and ask for his assistance. Upon his arrival he said the mans name was Dave. He shouted to Briton Dave on his balcony. After 2 hours of communicating with Dave, he opened his door and allowed officials in to talk.

Once Marshll had calmed down and revealed that the couple was having a fight when his wife fell off their balcony.

Police said Mr. Marshall escaped from police custody two days later. He was charged with attempted murder and unlawful detention.

Ms. Sukanda only fell between one and two floors, as she landed on a protruding roof from an adjacent building, which saved her life. Police said Ms Sukanda suffered a fractured hip and a dislocated arm in the fall and has pressed charges.

Mr. Marshall now faces further charges and blacklisting from Thailand once he has served his sentenced at Bang Kwang Prison also know as the Bangkok Hilton.
