To date, studies as to parricide have mostly pertained to Western contexts. This study is the first exploratory research to consider parricide in Thailand alongside its patterns, causes and factors within this specific socio-cultural context. In-depth interviews were employed with 21 male perpetrators of parricide serving sentences in three prisons in Thailand. These interviews found that the victims had abused and committed domestic violence against the perpetrator prior to the parricide. Furthermore, the act of parricide in each case derived from the anger of, and unplanned use of weapons (i.e., sticks, kitchen tools and farming tools) by, a sole perpetrator.

泰国的刽子手：原因、特征和因素

迄今为止，关于弑亲的研究大多与西方背景有关。本研究是第一项探索性研究，考虑泰国的刽子手及其在特定社会文化背景下的模式、原因和因素。对在泰国三所监狱服刑的 21 名男性弑亲者进行了深入访谈。这些访谈发现，受害者在杀父之前曾对肇事者实施过虐待和家庭暴力。此外，在每种情况下，弑父的行为都源于唯一的肇事者的愤怒和无计划地使用武器（即棍棒、厨房工具和农具）。
