RichardColeman Posted May 3, 2023 Posted May 3, 2023 Sounds like he has a goo case for 'self defence' to me Ten friends of the other party came to attack Jirapong during the argument. They used a glass to hit Jirapong in the face who then stabbed the victim twice before speeding away.
mushroomdave Posted May 3, 2023 Posted May 3, 2023 Self-defense "possibly" but think more to it and more reporting needed. "he was celebrating and drinking alcohol with his friends" I would like to know how many friends of Mr. Jirapong there were and if it was just an all-out brawl. More reporting......as usual!
