Bangkok: Husband Shoots Wife In The Head, Arguments Over Spending Money on Car

A tragic incident unfolded in Bangkok’s Bang Khae district on Monday evening, June 9th, 2025, where a 36-year-old woman was discovered deceased inside her extensively modified Honda Civic. The vehicle, parked outside her residence, had its engine running for an extended period, raising suspicions among neighbours. The subsequent investigation has led to the arrest of the victim’s 40-year-old husband after a tense three-hour standoff with the police.

Police were alerted to the scene at 8:00 PM local time following reports from concerned neighbours. Emergency responders arrived to find the victim, who had sustained a gunshot wound to the back of her head, along with multiple knife wounds. The car’s modifications, including aftermarket headers designed for maximum exhaust flow and achieving higher RPMs, immediately drew the attention of investigators.

Suspect Apprehension and Motive

The primary suspect was quickly identified as the victim’s husband. A three-hour standoff ensued as police believed he was hiding either inside the house or in the surrounding area. Negotiations eventually led to the husband’s surrender, and he was taken into custody for questioning. Sources suggest that the couple had been experiencing marital discord, with arguments frequently arising over the victim’s dedication and financial investment in her car modifications.

The victim was known to be an avid street racing enthusiast, and social media posts revealed her growing obsession with enhancing her car’s performance, including the recent installation of high-performance headers. Neighbors reported hearing the distinctive roar of the modified exhaust, often associated with late-night street races.

Ongoing Investigation

Authorities are currently examining the car’s ECU (Engine Control Unit) to analyze performance data and driving patterns. The possibility of a connection to the street racing scene is also being explored. Psychological counseling will be provided to the couple’s three children and their family. The motive for the murder remains under investigation, with the victim’s passion for high-performance modifications being a key element in the inquiry.
