[snoop1130]

 

A violent altercation between two craftsmen over a broken water pipe in a dormitory ended in tragedy, with a Bangkok craftsman, 64 year old Chomphu, fatally stabbing the younger one, 37 year old Suradej. The incident took place in a dormitory located in Soi Charansanitwong 37, Bang Khun Sri, Bang Khun Non, Bangkok.

 

Suradej, originally from Chai Nat province, had been stabbed in the head and neck and succumbed to his injuries due to severe blood loss.

 

The authorities were alerted to the incident at 8pm, yesterday, October 15. After receiving a distress call from the Khun Non Radio Centre via the 191 emergency system, Deputy Inspector Natthapong Charitngam, the investigating officer from Bang Khun Non Police Station, and his team swiftly arrived at the scene. At the crime scene, a 27-inch sharp sword, believed to be the murder weapon, was found near Chomphu.

 

Within an hour, at 8.50pm, Chomphu was apprehended by police at a house approximately 150 metres from the crime scene while preparing to flee. The suspect was brought into custody along with the recovered weapon. The case was then handed over to the Bang Khun Non Police Station for further investigation.

I have a long list of colleagues I wanted to beat the crap out of over the years.

But you can't do that.

Probably the younger guy criticized the workmanship of the older guy.

BIG mistake!

Wait, what?

 

The cops swiftly arrived, and found the alleged murder weapon next to the alleged murderer.

 

The alleged murderer was apprehended an hour later?

 

That doesn't make se...........

 

Never mind.
