A 63 year old Chiang Mai woman has been arrested for allegedly hiring a hitman to kill her ex-husband because she wanted his life insurance payout. Bualoi Tala is also being investigated for her alleged involvement in other possible murders after a number of people died after being poisoned and Bualoi received payouts from their life insurance policies.

Police say that 58 year old Anan Thongmarn, Bualoi’s ex-husband, was killed last week. His neck and face had been slashed. The alleged hitman, 48 year old Pankaew KhanKaew, has confessed to the murder, according to police. Phone records trace back to Bualoi, and police say they believe the woman hired a hitman to kill her ex-husband so she could claim the death benefit in the insurance policy valued at hundreds of thousands of baht, according to the Nation Thailand.

Bualoi told police she didn’t want her ex-husband to die, she just wanted him to be hurt really bad. She told police she offered PanKaew 40,000 baht to kill her ex-husband was just a “joke,” she just wanted him to maim her husband.

Police are investigating 6 other possible homicide cases where Bualoi was listed as a beneficiary for the deceased mens’ life insurance policies. Police say the victims were all poisoned and Bualoi received life insurance benefits following their deaths.

She should have just moved 7 floors up with him and asked him to clean the windows. 555

  Exactly! Then the cause of death could be listed as “Natural, gravity”.

Yes very messy using a hit man.
Problem with being pushed off the 7th floor, the victim could shout passing six floors down: MY WIFE PUSHED ME.
There were some dear old ladies in the US, who used to take in old homeless men, insure them, and then kill them in a non violent way.

You’d think the insurance companies would have noticed something suspicious when man number 2 was killed and she collected the insurance. But it seems she collected insurance on 6 dead men and no one was suspicious until number 7 got killed just now. Wow!

She was the beneficiary in 6 other cases? You’d think after 3-4, flags would be raised. She got greedy.
