On Wednesday, police said a woman cut a rope supporting two painters who worked in her high-rise apartment in Thailand – leaving them dangling hundreds of feet in the air – because she was angry that she was not informed before work began.
heart beats Footage from the October 12 incident appears Workers hang precariously near the 26th floor of a building near Bangkok, asking residents to open the window and let them in.
The 34-year-old woman was arrested on Wednesday on charges of attempted murder and property damage, Col. Bongjak Prishakarunpong, Pak Kret police chief, said.
Local media reported that the woman initially denied responsibility but confessed after police sent the cut rope for fingerprint and DNA analysis.
“This incident is shocking and should not happen at all,” Praphaiwan . groups said, a resident who helped save the painters.
One of the workers, a Myanmar national identified as Song, said he and two other men were lowering themselves from the 32nd floor when they realized they were unstable and started calling for help.
Eventually, Stsing and her husband spotted her and helped get them to safety, she said.
Authorities did not say what prompted the woman to cut the rope, but local media reported that she was apparently enraged when the painters appeared outside her room – and she had not seen an announcement from the apartment management.
The suspect, who she claimed did not intend to kill the workers, faces up to 20 years in prison if convicted of attempted murder.
