Crime Man High on Drugs Fatally Stabs Relative, Flees to Rooftop in Phrae Province
Picture courtesy of Workpoint. A drug-intoxicated man fatally stabbed his 62-year-old relative in a frenzied attack before climbing onto the roof of his house to evade arrest, sparking a tense five-hour standoff with police and rescue workers in Phrae province. The incident occurred on the afternoon of 20 July in Ban Pa Phueng, Moo 11, Hua Fai subdistrict, Sung Men district. Police were alerted by local residents after a violent assault with a knife left one man seriously injured at the entrance of his home. Investigating officer Pol. Capt. Chatsi Yam Jamrattanasophin of Sung Men Police Station coordinated with municipal emergency responders, who arrived at the scene to find Mr. Det, aged 62, lying in a pool of blood at his front door. He had sustained seven stab wounds to his left rib cage, abdomen and chest. Despite attempts to revive him, he was later pronounced dead at Sung Men Hospital. The suspected assailant, identified as Mr. Natthawat 36, is the victim’s nephew. Blood trails found inside the house and leading to the front yard suggested the stabbing took place indoors before Mr. Det managed to stagger outside and collapse. Mr. Natthawat had climbed onto the roof of the same house. He was seen shirtless, wearing only shorts and clutching a knife. Officers from the Sung Men Police Station, supported by local officials and relatives, spent over five hours attempting to persuade him to surrender peacefully. Deputy Superintendent Pol. Lt. Col. Manop Jai-un led the negotiations, with assistance from family members familiar to the suspect. According to his mother, Mrs. Salunee, 65, Mr. Natthawat had previously undergone drug rehabilitation after experiencing hallucinations from substance abuse. She stated that he lived in the house with his wife and two children, a son and daughter and had been stable in recent months with no prior violent episodes. She expressed deep sorrow and left the matter in the hands of the police. Authorities are expected to press serious criminal charges once the investigation is completed.

Middle East Syria in Crisis: Deadly Sectarian Clashes Threaten Stability
video screenshot Sectarian violence has erupted in southern Syria despite an immediate ceasefire declared by interim President Ahmed al-Sharaa. Druze fighters reportedly expelled Bedouin gunmen from Suweida on Saturday, though fighting persists elsewhere, casting doubt on the ceasefire's effectiveness. Unverified reports suggest government forces are involved in attacks on the Druze, with more than 900 fatalities in the past week. US Secretary of State, Marco Rubio, condemned the violence, urging Damascus to halt the atrocities. He highlighted the need for authorities to prevent ISIS and other extremist groups from exploiting the chaos. Rubio called for justice against those responsible for war crimes, including any within the government's ranks. The situation escalated as Israel, supporting the Druze, launched strikes on government targets in Damascus. The ceasefire agreement, part of a US-brokered pact, involves halting Israeli military actions if Druze civilians remain protected. Despite this, reports of ongoing gunfire and looting surfaced in Suweida. Israel's foreign minister expressed scepticism about the Syrian government's commitment to defending minorities. Suweida’s Druze community, with its unique faith derived from Shia Islam, is wary of Damascus, exacerbating tensions. Israeli Prime Minister Benjamin Netanyahu pledged to shield the Druze due to their connections with Israeli citizens. The conflict stems from long-standing tensions between Druze and Bedouin tribes, ignited by the abduction of a Druze merchant. The UK-based Syrian Observatory of Human Rights (SOHR) reports 940 deaths since last Sunday. UN human rights chief Volker Türk expressed concern over credible reports of widespread violations, including arbitrary killings. Türk emphasised the need for accountability among all parties involved, including the government forces and local armed elements. In response, the Syrian leadership vowed to protect all minorities and ensure those responsible for violations face justice. As violence spreads across Syria, the ceasefire remains fragile, with international intervention struggling to restore peace. The conflict underscores the complex dynamics of sectarian tensions in the region, posing challenges for both Syrian and international stakeholders seeking stability.
