[webfact]

Daily News Thai Caption: Stabbed his best mate!

 

Muang Phitsanulok police in northern Thailand were called to a rented property  in Ban Pa sub-district after a man was stabbed.

 

Dead at the scene in a pool of blood with two stab wounds to the ear and ribs was 41 year old Wacharin or "Ning".

 

 A witness pointed the finger at his best friend Narong or "Bow", 32 who had arrived to settle a 2,000 baht debt after the victim stole it from him.

 

The two men were fruit traders at the Thai Charoen market.

 

They had a violent fist fight but the older man got the upper hand so the younger one produced a knife before fleeing on a motorcycle, reported Daily News.

 

The suspect was found cowering in a corner of the market by the police who took him on a reenactment.

 

He was charged with premeditated murder.

 

All for the sake of what amounts to about $70.

Oh that is more than enough.

 

They will stab you to death here over 40 baht of petrol.

We used to be best friends. But, I don't Iike you anymore. You won't pay me back, so therefore I think the best way for me to recover my money, is to kill you. I am very practical. Quite a solution, huh?

I remember a taxi driver killed an American over 100 baht with a machete he had in the taxi. As one does, if they are Thai.

Lack of Emotional Intelligence, poor anger management. A lot of murders like this one are committed in a state of rage.

Not cold blood.  They were fighting.

Quite.  He'll probably regret it when he calms down.  I hope so anyway (as it shows he is not a psychopath).

 

I'm curious as to whether some Thai people have a sort of "affluenza", where they cannot control themselves due to never being told "no".

Yes logical. A good friendship is not worth more than 1500 baht!!!!??? Another Thai man who has a short circuit at the slightest bit.

I'm surprised anyone ''pointed a finger'' without it getting chopped off.

Who needs ennemies with friends like this?
