Ex-Wife Attacks New Wife and Abducts Child in Maha Sarakham.

Maha Sarakham: An ex-wife violently confronted her ex-husband's new wife, stabbing her and abducting her own two-year-old son in a dramatic incident in Ban Nang, Tambon Khok Ko, Amphoe Mueang, Maha Sarakham Province. The attack took place at the family's two-story wooden house, leaving the new wife, identified as Ms. Pathama, 31, injured. Following the assault, Ms. Rachana, the ex-wife, fled with the child. According to Thai News Agency, the confrontation unfolded when Ms. Rachana entered the house and verbally attacked Ms. Pathama, accusing her of being involved with her ex-husband. The situation escalated quickly as Ms. Rachana used a box cutter to stab Ms. Pathama in the arm. The injury was severe enough to render Ms. Pathama unable to move her fingers and resulted in significant blood loss. Ms. Pathama was promptly taken to Maha Sarakham Hospital by her husband for medical treatment. The incident was witnessed by Mrs. Yuanjai, the mother of Ms. Pathama's husband, who reported that Ms. Rachana absconded with the child, accompanied by a man on a motorcycle. The police were notified, and efforts are underway to locate Ms. Rachana and pursue legal action. Mr. Surasak, Ms. Pathama's husband, disclosed that he and Ms. Rachana had separated months prior, both moving on with new partners. However, Ms. Rachana had expressed reluctance about Mr. Surasak's new relationship due to concerns over their child's care. Despite an earlier agreement for Ms. Rachana to collect their son, tensions led to the unanticipated confrontation and abduction. Ms. Rachana's family later informed Mrs. Yuanjai that the child was safe and had returned to Nong Bua Lamphu Province. Despite this reassurance, legal proceedings are anticipated to continue, with police preparing to request an arrest warrant for charges of nighttime trespassing and assault. Ms. Pathama remains hospitalized, with plans for surgery to repair ruptured tendons in her arm. She has expressed a desire for Ms. Rachana to be prosecuted to the fullest extent of the law. The police are actively gathering evidence to support the case.
