A woman who skipped bail while on trial for shooting dead her husband and dumping his body in the Chao Phraya River eight years ago has been arrested.
Police caught Wareephorn Prempraneerat, 59, at a market in Pathum Thani on Friday.
She allegedly told police she was driven to murder by her husband's argumentative nature and physical abuse.
Police said the shooting occurred on March 12, 2013.
Ms Wareephorn allegedly shot her husband in the head. She then wrapped his body in plastic bags and hid it under a blanket. She drove to the Chao Phraya River and dumped the body in the water, according to the police charges.
On March 15, police in Nonthaburi province were informed a body had been found floating near a pier in the Chao Phraya River.
Ms Wareephorn later turned herself in to police. After the case was taken to court she fled while on bail.
