Man dies trying to blow up ex-wife's house (4 photos + 1 video)
Surapong Thongnak, 36, plotted revenge when Kanonraphat Saowakhon, 28, refused to reconcile. The Thai man threw a grenade at his ex-girlfriend's house, but it bounced off and exploded in his face. 
The incident happened on May 25 in Surat Thani, in the south of the country. Witnesses were drinking coffee when they said Surapong burst into the house and woke Saowakhon up, begging her to take him back. He tried to stab her with scissors and ran to the car to get a grenade.
When the Thai threw the ammunition, it hit a concrete pillar in the area and bounced off. Surapong bent down to pick up the grenade and it exploded in his hands. He died instantly. 
When police arrived at the scene, they found Surapong lying face down in a pool of blood, with debris and shrapnel scattered around the yard. Four people, including Saowakhon's ex-girlfriend, were injured. They were rushed to the hospital. There they were given first aid and released.
Police Major Chinnakrit Sawatdivong said: “The injured have been taken to Tha Chan Hospital. Almost all have been discharged except 68-year-old Samart Janyang. He has serious injuries. He has been transferred to Surat Thani Hospital for further treatment.” 
Suraponga’s mother, Ranjuan Timdee, 58, said the couple had only been dating for two months.
“I was shocked to receive the news of his death this morning. I find it hard to believe that he would commit such a cruel act,” the woman said.
Police seized half a kilogram of methamphetamine from the deceased's car.
According to statistics, 77% of all murders of women are committed by their partners after a breakup.
Women's Aid found that 72% of people underestimate the prevalence of domestic violence. This indicates a critical gap in public awareness. It is worth noting that 25% of respondents know a woman or girl who has been a victim of domestic violence in the past year, and 39% - a victim of sexual harassment.
