A mum butchered and ate her two young
sons because she hallucinated and thought they were Pigs.
The Thai woman allegedly cooked and
ate her children,
aged one and five, and was found by
police sleeping in her
home surrounded by their body parts.
The woman, a member of a hill
tribe from the mountainous region of
Chiang Main near the Burmese border, had been suffering from mental illness
since 2007 but had recently stopped
taking her medication.
She had been left alone with her sons
as her husband left for a
few days to get her medication.
He said: "I had to go out of
town
for a couple of days. I told her that
I would bring back the medication she needs.
I never imagined that something like
this would happen.
Dr Kiattiphum Wongrachit from
the Mental Health Department
said: The woman killed her children
because she didnt
continue her treatment and
didnt take her medication.
He added that it is believed that in
her hallucinogenic state she thought her children were pigs
and that she has yet to realise that
she killed her children.
A hospital report from her treatment
in 2007 stated that the woman suffered from
hallucinations and believed someone
was coming to hurt
her.
The woman, whose name has not been
released for her familys protection, has been charged
with murder, although details of
the charge have yet to be released.
She has been deemed mentally unfit to
fight her case and has been sent to Suan Prung Psychiatric Hospital in Chiang
Mai for treatment.
