Upon interviewing the victim, it was found that the conflict stemmed from jealousy between a man's former wife and his current wife, with a history of ongoing altercations dating back to 2021. The first assault occurred in front of a porridge shop at Sri Samrong Market, at which time the victim did not know the assailant’s identity but later identified her as her partner’s ex-wife. Both parties came to the police station where senior family members mediated, leading to separation.Tags: [domestic dispute, assault history, mediation, Sri Samrong Market]

They subsequently met again at the police station to record an agreement. In 2024, a repeated assault happened at the same convenience store, followed by another mediation agreement.

Once the medical injury report is obtained, the female perpetrator and the car driver will be summoned to hear charges, with the driver considered a joint principal in the assault. If the accused confess, the case will be filed in court within 48 hours; if denied, the investigation and prosecution process will continue accordingly.Tags: [mediation failure, legal charges, joint liability, court procedure]

The 14-year-old who recorded the video should have their father engage to explain and clarify the family situation. Legally, the children themselves may not be directly involved unless harmed. If medical examination finds injuries on the children, they will be considered victims, and authorities will investigate whether the assailants intended or foresaw harm to the children. If injuries are confirmed, those responsible will face charges jointly.Tags: [child welfare, psychological impact, legal implications, family dispute, investigation]
