In a tragic act of family violence, a 32 year old man fatally slashed his father after a dispute over eating rice in the family farm hut, in Ban Tat, Non Sung District, Udon Thani province in northeastern Thailand.

 

At around 8.15pm yesterday, Non Sung Police Station officer, Sethawit Kunseth, rushed to the scene where they found the body of the 57 year old man with deep head wounds lying face down next to a blunt knife, a box of sticky rice and a jar of fermented fish sauce.

 

According to family members, the father reportedly used to sleep in a different place due to fear of his son, who had a history of drug and alcohol abuse. Despite this fear, the father would still care for his son, providing him daily with food and even fishing for him.

 

The son, following the fatal act, bathed and changed clothes, remaining at the scene until the police arrived. His interrogation conveyed his anger and frustration towards his father’s reprimanding remarks for eating in the space meant for farming work, reported KhaoSod.
