Reporters together with Police Lt. Colonel Greanggrai Phoprasit of Wisaineu police station along with several other people went to the reported house where the woman was detained at. She was found in a little hut that was surrounded by brick walls, which looked like a little island. Police were able to identify her as 39 year-old Anong Wattanajit, when the Police General saw her, she was talking to herself in a disheveled state.

Mr. Cheab Wattanajit, the 86 year-old father of Ms. Anong revealed that her daughter was born normal. She graduated from middle school when she was 17 and married her boyfriend, she then relocated to Songkla province. But after only 5 months of living in Songkla, she split up with her husband, which made her return to live with her father. Not long after she had split with her husband, she had developed a mental illness which made go mad on hot days. She would destroy things around her and other people’s houses. Mr. Cheab once tried to treat her at a local hospital, but the expenses were too high for him, making him unable to treat her daughter.

Tragic in so may ways.

 

Whatever we might think about our Farangland homes, we should be grateful that under the same circumstances we would have had more choices than this man and his daughter felt they had.
