The 60 year old deceased, Somchai, was found in the middle of the store, near the product shelves, dressed in a long-sleeved purple shirt and blue jeans. A green cloth was wrapped around his head, and a bag was slung over his shoulder. In his right hand, he held a casket cutter knife. A deep wound, inflicted by a fruit peeling knife, was visible on his neck, and blood had pooled around him, reported Khao Sod.

 

Onlookers had detained the alleged 28 year old perpetrator, identified as Peeranat, preventing him from fleeing the scene. Police Officer Opal Nonthakhan, the investigator from Phra Khanong Police Station, reported that both the perpetrator and the victim were known to live under the Phra Khanong bridge.
