[webfact]

A Thai woman’s life was tragically cut short when she was stabbed to death by a fellow Thai man at her condominium in Bangkok. The perpetrator was swiftly caught by the victim’s neighbours, who responded to the disturbance.

 

Officers from Buppharam Police Station rushed to room 616 on the sixth floor of a condominium located in Bangkok’s Khlong San district. Inside, they discovered the lifeless body of 26 year old Thanida Upachai, lying near her bed with 13 stab wounds. A 10-inch knife, used in the heinous act, was found near the crime scene.

The neighbours, drawn by the commotion, confronted the assailant, identified as 21 year old Suwat Thajor, as he attempted to flee. Displaying bravery and quick thinking, they managed to apprehend him. Reports indicate that Suwat is a student at a university in Bangkok.

From the article:

During the subsequent interrogation, Suwat claimed that Thanida had invited him to her room. According to his account, she got angry while he smoked cigarettes in her room. Allegedly, Thanida then threatened him with a knife to deter him from smoking. Suwat further stated that a struggle ensued between the two, during which he managed to wrestle the knife away from her and subsequently stabbed her to death.

Sounds like a story concocted to try to reduce culpability.

 

I wonder what really happened?  She rejected him, perhaps?

Suwat has been charged with intentional murder, a crime that carries severe penalties

 

Oh, really?

 

A Thai woman’s life was tragically cut short when she was stabbed to death by a fellow Thai man at her condominium in Bangkok.

 

And what's with the Thai woman killed by a Thai man in Bangkok? Why the nationality named, as if it played a significant and unexpected role in the crime? Do we ever read of, say, an American man killing an American woman in Chicago? Or an Australian man killing an Australian women in Sydney?

 

Bizarre journalism. Add to that, so often giving the number plate number when there's an road accident.

Possibly because it is an English language news site that generally caters to foreigners.  It's a case of personal interest to know the nationality of the people involved, since it could be locals or it could be foreigners.

 

Most people want to know some details of the events.  Sex, age, race, relationship between the victim and the perpetrator, etc.. 

 

News is primarily for entertainment, after all.
