Unfortunately this story happens with a greater frequency than reported by the Thai press. In fact this murder didn't make any of the Thai papers. Farang or Thai. I only found it on www.2bangkok.com after a friend mentioned the death.

It looks like his wife tried to kill him twice, if not three times for his insurance.
The lesson; don't tell your wife you're insured.
Our condolences to his friends and family.
Paradise is sometimes dangerous for Canadians.
CALGARY - A Canadian family is angry with the Canadian consulate for failing to provide them with security as they attend the funeral of a man killed in Thailand last week.More...
"We feel pretty scared. You kind of fear for your own safety," said Richard Henry of Victoria, B.C., whose brother Dale George Henry, 48, was shot point blank in the head Feb. 3 in his home in Ranong, Thailand.
Dale's 27-year-old wife, a Thai woman named Manreet Nee who married him five years ago, is accused by police of hiring a hit man so she could collect on Dale's $1-million life insurance policy.More...
Dale's siblings have arrived in Bangkok to claim his body.
Richard had planned on going to the Ranong temple where his brother's body lies, but says he is too afraid.
Richard and sister Mary-Jane Matheson wanted the Canadian consulate to provide security to protect them, but are left having to make their own arrangements.
"That is not what I expected at all," said Matheson over the phone from Thailand. "I thought we were going to be safe. We're here to lay him to rest. This is so wrong."
Cremation and a funeral service are planned for Saturday. A Thai funeral begins Wednesday.
Family learned of Henry's death when his brother Richard was contacted by police at his home in Victoria.
Henry had been living in Thailand for the past decade, frequently flying between there and Nigeria, where he worked for a U.S.-based oil drilling company.
His marriage to Manreet Nee, who is 20 years his junior, was his first.
Henry, a Canadian who spent much of his life in the Calgary area, worked about a decade ago as a firefighter and emergency medical technician in Cochrane, Alta., before contracting as a safety consultant for oil companies.
Henry was due to return to work in Nigeria Feb. 22 after recovering from a broken leg that became infected. The injury occurred during a fall while hiking in the jungle with his wife and her friends.
Three people have been arrested in connection with Henry's death: his wife Nee, an alleged hit man and a third man, said to be Nee's lover.
