Man dies after picking up grenade he threw at ex-girlfriend’s house
A 35-year-old man died after picking up a grenade he had thrown at his ex-girlfriend’s house in Surat Thani, Thailand, on Sunday (25 May).
According to Khaosod, Surapong Thongnak went to his ex-girlfriend Ms Kan-orn-pat’s home to convince her to get back together with him, but she refused.
Angered by her refusal, he first attempted to stab her with scissors, but a neighbour who was there stopped him.
Surapong then went to his car and returned with a grenade, which he threw at the house. However, the grenade did not explode.
When he picked it up to throw it a second time, the bomb exploded on him.
Ex-girlfriend’s elderly relatives injured
Rescue workers arrived to find Surapong lying face down on the floor, dead.
Four people were also injured, including Ms Kan-orn-pat’s three elderly relatives. They were sent to the hospital for treatment.
