| Man kills wife over World Cup viewing |
A Thai man has killed his wife after the two quarreled over the TV remote control during a World Cup match.
Chartkaew Yam-uarn, 18, was shot by her husband, arrested as he tried to flee the scene, said police Captain Jittikul Kaewklangmuang.
Yai, a 20-year-old motorcycle taxi driver, confessed to the shooting but claimed it was an accident, Jittikul said.
The suspect said the fight started Thursday when his wife kept nagging him about his laziness since World Cup tournament began two week ago.
She then snatched a remote control from him and switched to a soap opera in middle of the game between Mexico and Italy.
After failing to grab the gadget, Yai slapped her in the face. The fight died down after a visit to the police station.
But the following morning, Yai lost his temper and shot his wife when she started nagging him about previous night's incident, police said.
