A 29-year-old video game addict allegedly tried to poison his family’s water supply in Thailand after they pulled the plug on a noisy late-night gaming session.
According to CH3 Thailand, the man, identified as Sak Duanjan, returned drunk to his home in Sisaket in northeast Thailand and immediately started playing an online game on his cellphone loudly on the night of June 12.
His stepfather, Chakri Khamruang, woke and turned off the Wi-Fi, sparking an altercation, according to the report. Khamruang said he had to slap his stepson to get him to calm down after he went on a rampage, punching walls and cursing the family.
Eventually, Duanjan calmed down and fell asleep.
But the next morning, when his mother, Suban Duanjuan, went to draw water to cook rice, she discovered that pesticide was floating in the water of the garden well, reported the Daily Mail.
According to Kompas, she later recalled seeing Duanjan heading down to the well in the early hours of the morning.
“I asked what he was doing, but he just kept quiet and returned to his room. So I just let it go and went back to sleep,” Suban said.
The family called the police, according to the Mirror, and her son allegedly admitted to them that he had put the pesticide in the water supply.
His mother said that when he lost his temper in the past, they had simply tolerated it. “However, this time he has gone too far,” she said.
