A 26-year-old woman in Thailand has confessed to murdering her 73-year-old father by burning him alive after a heated argument over money.

Argument over money turns deadly
According to the woman, she had asked her father to request money from her stepbrother, but he refused.
The disagreement escalated, and in her drunken state, she pushed him to the ground before tying him up with cables from electrical appliances. She then set fire to his clothes, which quickly spread throughout the house.
Afterward, the woman withdrew ฿60,000 (S$2,400) from her father’s savings account and reportedly used the funds for herself.
The woman’s elder sister revealed that the woman often demanded money from their father, despite his limited income, which came solely from state welfare for the elderly.
