Yaba - meth mixed with caffeine, a drug of choice in Thailand available for a few dozen Thai baht - is at the center of another horrific murder of a parent.

 

Siam Rath reported that a police patrol at Kapong Chaipat hospital in Phangnga in the south of Thailand investigated after a man who later died had been stabbed. He was named as Yuthana. He had been brought into hospital by a younger brother. 

 

They went to a house and found bloodstains on the left leg of his son who was named only as "A" in the story.
