Trouble started in the home of an Ang Thong man when he bought his wife a smartphone last month.
According to the husband of Usa Masiri, 34, she stopped looking after their four children and would not help with any work.
All she did was stare at the screen all day long, said Tossaporn Khongmuang.
And to make matters worse she was smiling and chatting leading him to believe she had a new love interest.
Finally on Monday after a month of bitter arguments he could take the now sex-less relationship no more.
He went into the bedroom armed with a gun and shot his wife in the back.
Tossaporn, who cuts up pigs for a living, waited for Pol Capt Meesak Srithong of Sri Bua Thong police to arrive and take him into custody.
The gun was found a meter from the lifeless body of the fully clothed woman. She was face down on the bedroom floor with a single bullet wound in the center of her back.
Tossaporn, a native of Wang Nam Yen where the crime occurred, blamed the smartphone and his wife’s change in behaviour for ruining their relationship.
He told the police that she had also started denying him sex. He was furious and jealous.
No mention was made of the children in the report.
