A man in Thailand was killed after he threw a hand grenade at his ex-girlfriend's home following her refusal to reconcile with him.
A 35-year-old man in Thailand hurled a hand grenade at his former girlfriend's home after she declined to reconcile with him. Tragically, he was killed in the explosion that followed, while his ex-girlfriend escaped without any injuries. The incident has shocked the local community and raised concerns about violent reactions in personal disputes.
A report from the Bangkok Post states that on May 25, a 35-year-old man died and four others were injured in a grenade explosion. The incident took place in Thailand's Tha Chana district, according to police confirmation.
Reportedly, Surapong Thongnak went to his ex-girlfriend's house after their breakup, hoping to reconcile. When she rejected him, he became angry and tried to stab her with a pair of scissors. Nearby passersby quickly stepped in and stopped him from causing harm.
Frustrated, Surapong returned to his car and retrieved an M26 fragmentation grenade. He pulled the pin and hurled the grenade at the crowd trying to stop him. Thankfully, the grenade didn't detonate right away, which helped avoid more immediate injuries.
Surapong then attempted to pick up the grenade to throw it again, but it suddenly detonated in his hand. The powerful explosion shattered the windows of nearby parked cars, causing panic in the area.
When emergency responders arrived at the scene, they found Surapong lying in a pool of blood. Despite efforts to save him, he succumbed to his injuries and died at the scene.
Four other individuals—two men and two women—were injured in the explosion and were rushed to Tha Chana Hospital for medical care, according to the Bangkok Post.
Surapong's ex-girlfriend, the intended target, escaped without injury after quickly running back into her house before the grenade detonated. Police discovered 500 grams of methamphetamine inside Surapong's Honda Civic, which was also damaged by the blast.
The local police have requested assistance from the Region 8 Forensic Police to analyse the scene and confirm the exact type of explosive involved. The investigation remains ongoing as authorities continue to gather evidence.
The shocking incident left the local community shaken and raised concerns about the consequences of uncontrolled anger in personal relationships.
