SARABURI – In a chilling incident that has shocked the local community, police in Saraburi have officially charged a 43-year-old woman with intentional murder after she allegedly used her car to strike her boyfriend’s motorcycle before physically assaulting him as he lay dying on the pavement.
The fatal encounter, which occurred early Wednesday morning, May 6, 2026, on Phahonyothin Road, was captured on dashcam footage by a passing motorist, contradicting the suspect’s initial claims that the event was a mere traffic accident.
The incident took place at kilometer marker 101 in the Nong Yao Subdistrict of Mueang District. According to reports from Thairath, the suspect, identified by the pseudonym “Ms. Jib,” was driving her sedan when she spotted her 37-year-old boyfriend, “Mr. Bank,” traveling on his motorcycle.
Witnesses and video evidence suggest that Ms. Jib intentionally veered into the motorcycle, causing Mr. Bank to crash violently onto the road. While the collision alone was devastating, investigators say the horror continued when the suspect exited her vehicle. Rather than offering aid, she reportedly began stomping on the victim’s face and head repeatedly, showing a total disregard for the heavy traffic passing by.
Key Details of the Investigation
The Mueang Saraburi Police Station, led by Superintendent Pol. Col. Sakchai Kraiweeradechachai, moved quickly to secure evidence after a “good Samaritan” provided dashcam video of the attack.
- Initial Report: The suspect originally contacted the police, claiming she had been involved in or informed of a standard road accident.
- The Motive: During interrogation, Ms. Jib admitted the act was fueled by a deep “personal grudge” and intense jealousy. She claimed she had spent a significant amount of money on the victim, only for him to begin distancing himself from her.
- Premeditation: Police revealed that the suspect did not encounter the victim by chance; she had reportedly been “lying in wait” for him to leave their shared home.
- Legal Action: Authorities have bypassed lesser charges of reckless driving, instead filing a charge of “intentional murder” based on the deliberate nature of the crash and the subsequent assault.
On Wednesday afternoon, around 3:00 p.m., Saraburi police escorted Ms. Jib to the Saraburi Provincial Court for her first detention hearing. Dressed in a face mask and hat, she remained silent as reporters questioned her about her motives.
Investigators are currently gathering more footage from nearby CCTV cameras and interviewing additional witnesses to solidify the timeline of the morning’s events. The case has highlighted the extreme dangers of domestic disputes escalating into public violence.
In cases of intentional murder, Thai law carries severe penalties, ranging from lengthy prison sentences to life imprisonment or the death penalty, depending on the level of premeditation involved. Because the suspect admitted to waiting for the victim, the prosecution is likely to argue that the crime was carefully planned.
The victim’s family, including an older sister who had previously expressed suspicions regarding the suspect’s behavior, is reportedly working with authorities to ensure justice is served.
