rooster59 Posted June 20, 2020 Share Posted June 20, 2020 Pattaya: Attack on 68 year old shopkeeper - further details emerge from CCTV Image: Sanook Sanook reported that further details have emerged after a frenzied attack on a 68 year old shopkeeper in the Pattaya area. The grandmother fought for her life as she was kicked and stabbed and robbed of about 20,000 baht, said the media. The police know the identity of the attacker who was earlier reported to be a construction worker called "Oo" real name Somsak, 41. They have so far failed to catch him after the incident on Wednesday night. Somsak was clearly shown in a yellow shirt and shorts attacking Wirat in the convenience store in Sukhumvit Road Soi 71. The lady was stabbed many times but spiritedly fought back. At one point, fearing discovery, the assailant pulled down the grille of the shop then renewed his assault grabbing the woman's apron that contained money before kicking and stabbing her repeatedly again. The whole terrifying ordeal for the elderly lady was three minutes long. Nearby the suspect changed his bloodstained clothes. Earlier reports said that a construction site was surrounded but the suspect was nowhere to be found. Sanook reported that he fled the scene of the crime on a motorcycle.

anon7854 Posted June 20, 2020 Share Posted June 20, 2020 (edited) I am pretty sure Thailand will see more of these in the future. The poor will become even poorer with the current situation. They will have a situation on their hands. Especially Thailand where saving money is considered a laughable activity and it's just the moment that counts. I still have good friends there but man they are bad at expense management. And poor people are even worse. They could cut down on their expenses , they could save a little bit each month...etc etc but to most there is a reason why they're poor. Reminds of me of a funny story when I was working there. If you go to an average thai and say to him you are going to pay him 1000 BHT NOW or 3000 at the end of the month for the same amount of work , the majority will take the 1000 THB offer.

It has not gone unnoticed that Pattaya news is posted early & regularly updated whilst the main site hardly ever contains stories less than two days stale. 1 Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
