Woman re-enacts killing, dismembering husband

Pornsuree Deepaew, 26, claimed she was possessed by a god to kill her ailing husband Prasit Srisomboonyanont, 47, a designer, to release him from misery. She was alleged to have disposed of some body parts into a canal after killing him. Pornsuree claimed earlier that her husband had been beating her.
A urine test yielded positive for drug abuse and she reportedly confessed to taking several ‘ya ba’ pills a day.
Police will send Pornsuree to Galaya Rajanagarindra Institute for a mental health check before charging her with murder and dismembering a body in a bid to conceal the crime.
Police divers were still looking for the hands and right foot of Prasit, which were reportedly dumped in the Chao Phraya.
As part of the re-enactment at the Thitiwong Apartment block at 11.30am, the suspect showed police that she stabbed her husband with a screwdriver in bed, then dragged him to the middle of room, where she dismembered him and stuffed parts of his body into bags.
Police had planned to take her to re-enact the crime at other spots but she fainted, so they had to halt the re-enactment.
City police deputy chief Pol Maj-General Parinya Chansuriya said the suspect confessed to killing her husband, saying a god possessed her and told her that her husband was suffering so she had to kill him. She said she stabbed him with a screwdriver at 2am before going back to sleep, then woke up early to dismember him and dispose of his body parts in bags in the afternoon.
Pornsuree’s claim Prasit abused her was in contrast to a comment by neighbor Amporn Chaiwan, who said she saw Pornsuree often start arguments with Prasit and hit him. Lately, he had appeared unable to walk due to illness.
