call to his smart phone during a romantic Valentine’s Day dinner.
The incident

went off by accident as they fought over clothes after she ordered him out of
the family home.

prominent businesswoman while the husband has a doctorate and is a prominent
figure in Kalasin educational circles.
Pol Col
Thaweesak Raksasin of the Somdej police said that Mayura had told him that the
couple had been out to dinner when her husband received a call on his
smartphone. She asked who it was from and he was evasive.
Back at home
the couple began arguing again and she ordered her husband to pack up his
clothes and get out of the family home. He did so but then things calmed down
until 4.30 am when the arguments resurfaced.
The wife said
that the couple were grabbing and wresting over clothes when her husband’s gun
in the pocket of a garment went off resulting in her husband being shot in the
head. She immediately called the foundation rescue team.
She has been
charged with attempted murder that could be changed dependent on the condition
of the husband who is in a serious way in hospital.

on the executive board of a well know school in Kalasin. He is known as an
innovative and forward thinking educationalist driving improved standards in
the province.
The couple
have two children – the eldest is a boy and the youngest a girl.
