A man has been arrested after his wife was found dead, with her throat savagely slashed, in a pond in Kalasin.
The suspect allegedly earlier told a relative that he had killed his wife and dumped her body in a public pond.
The woman did not believe him. However, she and other relatives later went to look for themselves on Tuesday night, and were shocked to find the woman's body in the pond.
Police were then called.
The woman was identified as New Kamalasai, 29. The body had 13 knife wounds to the throat and other head wounds, Thai media reported.
Investigators were told the victim had argued with her husband Montri Chotthong on Monday night.
Mr Montri was at his house when police went there to question him.
He allegedly confessed to having killed his wife. Police found dried blood and a blood-covered machete in their bedroom.
