Crime Man Arrested After 10 Years on the Run for Brutal Machete Attack Over Inheritance Dispute
Picture courtesy of Central Investigation Bureau (CIB) After more than a decade in hiding on a remote island, a 69-year-old man has been arrested by Thailand’s Central Investigation Bureau (CIB) for the attempted murder of his own sister during a violent dispute over inheritance. Officers from the Crime Suppression Division (CSD) of the CIB apprehended the suspect, Mr Patiphol at a pier on Ko Chik Island, Moo 1, Bang Chan subdistrict, Klaeng district, Chanthaburi province. The arrest stems from a violent incident that occurred over ten years ago, when Mr Patiphol, enraged by a disagreement over the division of family inheritance, allegedly struck his younger sister on the head with a machete, leaving her with serious injuries. He then fled the scene and went into hiding. After a lengthy investigation and years of tracking, police discovered that the suspect had taken refuge on Ko Chik, an isolated island in the Gulf of Thailand. Officers closely monitored his movements before successfully apprehending him. Mr Patiphol has been charged with “attempted murder” and “carrying a weapon in public without reasonable cause.” He has since been handed over to Muang Chumphon Police Station for further legal proceedings. The operation was conducted under the supervision of Police Lieutenant General Jiraphop Phuridej, Commissioner of the CIB; Police Major General Wittaya Sriprasertphap, Commander of the CSD; and Police Colonel Phattarawut Onchuai, Superintendent of Subdivision 5, CSD.

Kamala Harris Crossroads Weighing the Governorship of California Against Her National Future
I don't either love or hate Harris but I think California probably deserves better than her because let's face it, she did lose and it's a consolation prize. It's too important for California for it to be like that. I don't know the other candidates but she had one necessary coronation for the democratic nomination and I think one coronation per political career is more than enough. The flip side is if she becomes governor she won't run for president in 28, and she definitely shouldn't do that again regardless. -

Crime Man High on Drugs Stabs Uncle in Udon Thani, Once Prosperous, Now Ruined by Addiction
Picture courtesy of Workpoint. A man reportedly suffering from drug-induced hallucinations stabbed his uncle in a violent altercation in Chai Wan district, Udon Thani province. The suspect, who had once returned home wealthy after working in South Korea, has seen his life spiral into ruin due to severe methamphetamine addiction. At approximately 12:15 on 18 May, police at Chai Wan Police Station were alerted to an incident involving a mentally unstable individual under the influence of drugs. The attack occurred at a small hut in a rice field on the outskirts of Ban Phia Pu, Village 8, Chai Wan subdistrict. Upon arrival, officers found 59-year-old Mr Thanat seriously injured with three stab wounds to his ribcage. He had run to nearby villagers for help. Emergency responders rushed him to Chai Wan Hospital, but due to a punctured lung, he was transferred in critical condition to Udon Thani Central Hospital. The suspect, 44-year-old Mr Kat, is the victim’s biological nephew. After the stabbing, he calmly walked home, where police later apprehended him. During the arrest, officers recovered two knives used in the attack. Mr Kat has been charged with attempted murder. In his statement to police, Mr Kat claimed the stabbing was in self-defence. He alleged that his uncle had been staying at his field hut for several days, disturbing his belongings and asking relatives for money. Mr Kat confronted his uncle, asking why he didn’t work and accused him of being a burden. According to Mr Kat, his uncle then became enraged, picked up two knives and charged at him. In the ensuing struggle, Mr Kat claims he disarmed his uncle and stabbed him twice in the side, not intending to kill but to protect himself. He admitted to taking one methamphetamine pill earlier that morning. Mr Kat’s 69-year-old mother, Ms Paithoon, told police her son had returned from South Korea several years ago with hundreds of thousands of baht. He used the money to build a house, buy farmland and purchase prized buffalo. However, he became addicted to methamphetamine, sold off his buffalo to buy drugs, and is now virtually penniless. She admitted that her son began using drugs in South Korea and returned mentally unstable. Family members, including an aunt who recently had an argument with Mr Kat over unpaid debts and his attempts to sell her buffalo, submitted a video clip to the police showing his erratic behaviour. They had intended to request rehabilitation before the stabbing occurred. Chai Wan Police Chief, Pol. Col. Ratphonchai Phensongkram, confirmed that both the suspect and victim have a history of substance abuse. Mr Thanat was reportedly addicted to marijuana and had been estranged from his wife. He had moved in with his nephew in the field hut, where the altercation took place. The police are continuing their investigation and Mr Kat remains in custody.
