Older Briton upset with young Thai wife hangs self in Pattaya
Teerarak Suthathiwong
An elderly British man supposedly upset with the party habits of
his young wife apparently hung himself at a central Pattaya condominium.
The body of Philip Lee Atkins, 62, was found in a building behind the
Niran Grand Condotel on Soi Arunothai March 30. A black electrical wire
was found around his neck, although the wire had snapped, causing the
body to fall to the ground.
In his pocket, police found a letter to Atkins’ wife, Parinyakorn Jinda,
30, asking her to contact his older brother in Phuket to take custody of
his body.
Neighbors told police that Atkins had lived at Niran since November with
his wife, but they frequently quarreled because Parinyakorn liked to go
out with friends and often stayed away for days.
