A violent brawl over a woman led to the deaths of two individuals and the injuries of two others in Prachinburi province. The violent brawl incident took place in front of a residential building where the victims were drinking alcohol. The police were able to apprehend one suspect at midnight today.

 

The altercation was initiated by a group of aggressive young men chasing and attacking their victims with knives. The crime scene, a commercial building front being used as workers’ accommodation, was littered with toppled bamboo tables.

 

The first deceased, identified as Yai Lai Wen, a Myanmar national, was found on the pavement with multiple stab wounds in the chest area. Approximately 15 metres away, the second deceased, Tang Nai Su, also from Myanmar, was discovered, having been stabbed in the left abdomen.

The forensic team from Prachinburi province carried out autopsies on both victims before handing them over to the rescue unit for transportation to Sri Maha Pho Hospital. The two critically injured individuals, also Myanmar nationals, were immediately taken to the same hospital for emergency treatment.

Preliminary investigations revealed that the under-construction commercial building was rented out to nearly 200 Myanmar workers employed in the Rotjana Industrial Estate.

 

The victims and their friends had been drinking beer at a nearby shop when the perpetrators arrived on a black Honda motorcycle with the licence plate 02-7155 Prachinburi. The assailants launched an attack, which turned into a violent brawl, stabbing the workers before fleeing the scene, reported KhaoSod.

That's interesting, in situ autopsies. 🫣

They couldn't handle their drink it seems.

The workers wolf whistled (or whatever young uncouth men do nowadays) at the girl and she told her brother or cousin or boyfriend... so they came by to kill the swine.
