Man kills wife over Toys

[Dark Kabuto]

Star Wars collectors are devoted, but one fan in England may have taken that devotion too far.
Thirty-year-old d Rickie La-Touche plead guilty to choking his wife, Pornpilai Srisroy, 28, to death after she pummeled his collection of Star Wars memorabilia, which he’d been building since he was a boy and was worth in the “thousands of pounds.â€
La-Touche met his Thailand-born wife in a Bangkok bar 10 years ago, but since then, he claimed, that she was threatening to return home … without him. In a police interview, La-Touche said, “â€My wife is from Thailand and she keeps threatening to leave. We argued and she said she was going to make my life hell. … She’s put me through it before. I couldn’t let that happen again. I then just remember getting up from on top of her. I think I’ve choked her.â€
La-Touche plead guilty to manslaughter and was sentenced to a minimum of 12 years in prison.

*facepalms* seriously? why even take her in as your wife in the first place if you're so much more devoted to your toys?

Why don't you read the article properly? It's not about the toys.

Ouch! If she wanted to go she should of just gone not been spiteful and done that. She could still be alive.

Not saying that the guy should of killed her but he is probably dead inside too.

Maybe he should've spent more time with his wife instead of his toys.

I agree. I hope he gets locked up for life.

He didn't kill her because of the toys. There were very deep issues between these two people and sadly things came to tragic end when something he cared for was destroyed. The whole toy aspect is being played up to get people to read the articles, it's shameless but that is how the news works now.
