Toilet squabble turns fatal for elderly security guards in central Thailand

[snoop1130]

 

In a shocking, tragic twist, a dispute over a less-than-pristine toilet spiralled into a fatal altercation between two elderly security guards in Nakorn Pathom, central Thailand. The 75 year old victim found himself grievously wounded in the abdomen and leg, the unfortunate outcome of a heated argument.

 

The assailant, a 60 year old security guard, initially evaded capture, but later turned himself in at the local police station, accompanied by his 60 year old wife. Their dispute left one guard guarding secrets, and the other, facing a life-altering decision.

 

The incident occurred around 8.30am today, at a car showroom located off Phetchakasem Road in Phra Prathon Subdistrict. Deputy Investigation Inspector Police Lieutenant Phisan Rueangphan of Nakorn Pathom City Police Station arrived at the scene to find a large pool of blood, a helmet, and a long iron bar used for pulling iron doors.

 

The victim, Wunich, was rushed to the hospital but succumbed to his injuries. Meanwhile, Chanchai, who was visibly exhausted and shocked, turned himself in with the alleged murder weapon, a fruit-peeling knife that was kept at the guard’s booth, reported KhaoSod.

The meaning of Security Guards in Thailand is different.

Fighting over a dirty toilet leads to a death of one person and a ruined life of the assailant and his wife,,,

She prepared a meal before saying good bye to him...

Wow! That makes a change from the usual "Thai male's fragile ego" denouncement.

Follows on from someone knifing a neighbour to death because he turned off the wi-fi they were sharing, and a father hammering his son to death for slamming a door. Interesting behaviour in a so-called Buddhist country. Fortunately for us, the savages mostly just kill each other and leave foreigners alone. Most of the time.

Just shocking to me how something trivial like a dirty toilet can spiral into the death of a person, and other lives ruined forever.

Pretty tough when 75yo blokes are employed as security guards

Youngsters won't do it and when a Thai state pension is only 600 bht a month oldies have to find work somewhere.

Sound like they were 'well known'' as being grumpy old men, yet were security guards. A 60yr old felt threatened by an unarmed 75yr old.

Sixty is "elderly"? Don't you know it's the new forty?

I bet you it was over something petty.
