Evidence is collected after the murder of a woman on Phuket last night

Killing With Kindness Didn't Work, So Jealous Phuket Man Kills With a Gun Instead

Tuesday, March 24, 2015
PHUKET: A Phuket man who thought his mistress was deserting him for another man killed her with shots to the head, side and back last night, police said.

Bhumsak Sripot thought he had previously killed Yupin Somrak, 46, with kindness, providing her with a house and a somtam restaurant, said officers at Thung Tong Police Station.

''She showed every intention of leaving so in a fit of jealous rage, Khun Bhumsak shot dead his mia noi,'' one officer said.

The shooting happened at 8.40pm in Get-ho village. Neighbors alerted police and Khun Bhumsak was apprehended just 300 metres from the scene.

Wow, it seems being a mistress and not married still makes you loose your freedom of choice and doings. Poor lady.
And poor man, he goes many years to the monkey house if he is not a influential person.

Would "Get-ho" be another and rather unfortunate Romanized spelling of Kathu ?

Get-a-ho might be more befitting for the area across the hill by the seaside.

The correct spelling is "Ghetto"... Phuket, in particular Patong, is rapidly turning into Thailand's version of South Central L.A. Trigger-happy gangsters on every corner.
