In a tragic accident, a 16 year old boy stands accused of inadvertently stabbing to death his 13 year old friend while showing off his sword. The tragic incident took place in Nong Han, in the northern Thai province of Udon Thani, where local police are now investigating the case.

 

In the late hours of September 4, the Nong Han police station received a report of a stabbing that led to the death of a 13 years old boy. The incident occurred in front of a residential house in Wang Haang, Soi Phrao, Nong Han.

 

Upon receiving the report, the police, headed by Chief Investigator Siang Si Prom, along with Chiew Chai Meechai, Station Head, of Nong Han Police Station, medics from the Nong Han Hospital, rescue units from local administrative organisations, and volunteers from the Sendham Foundation arrived at the scene.

 

The unidentified deceased boy was found lying face-up on the street, approximately 30 metres from Wat Ophas Sawat, Wang Haang. He was dressed in a black t-shirt and black trousers. A sharp knife, approximately 30 centimetres long, had pierced his left chest area, approximately 13 centimetres deep.

From the link:

He then approached the stabbing victim, holding the scabbard with the blade pointing towards the latter, who stood about 1.5 metres away. After some time, the blade slipped out of the scabbard and stabbed the left side of the victim’s neck, causing him to collapse.

 

Hmmmm. 

The blade "slipped out" of the scabbard and pierced the boy 13.5cm deep in the chest?

Sometimes I am sure that we are all not reading Thai news, but some inner city black hood block daily news with all its stabbings and gun crimes

Seems to be the weapon of choice for feuding college kids, probably that's what he had it for.

Sword or knife , chest or neck ?

It's a good job the police don't rely on the report for evidence .

Thai society has determined: That boy is ready to graduate to a gun.

Yet again, description of clothing. Why?

It is totally irrelevent in the circumstances of this sad killing.

"It is totally irrelevent [sic]..."

So why are you making such an issue of it?
