A dish best served boiled

NAKHON PATHOM: Legions of men thought twice about their two-timing ways after watching Fatal Attraction, the movie in which a mistress takes revenge on her married lover by boiling his family’s beloved pet bunny. In the film, wife and children became the unwitting victims in a dangerous love triangle. In Nakhon Pathom, however, it was the wife whose jealous rage drove her to boil her own pot of revenge – with an ingredient that had far more than just an emotional attachment to her husband. After hacking her husband to death with a hoe late on the evening of June 21, Preeyapha Tasuwan, 37, cut off and boiled his penis – before hanging herself. Police arrived to find a gruesome scene. Preeyapha’s husband, Rangsan Supakpattana, 46, was found lying dead on the floor with deep cuts to his head, chin and throat, and his severed penis was found boiling in a pot. Preeyapha’s body was dangling from the room’s main beam. Police said Preeyapha left a note saying she had killed her husband because she believed he intended to leave her for another woman. A portion of the woman’s suicide note read: “When we loved each other a lot, you never reprimanded me. You asked me to stop working as a prostitute and I obeyed. But recently, everything I did was wrong in your eyes. Now you are going to have a new wife. I can’t bear this, so I have to kill you so that we can be together forever.”
