A mentally ill Thai man stabbed a local woman he met on a coach bus in the Isaan province of Khon Kaen on February 6. The attacker’s mother revealed that her son had a mental illness but refused any treatment.

 

The victim, Nittaya Pimthong, was rushed to hospital with several cut wounds on her arms. She is in stable condition after receiving six stitches on her left arm and 10 stitches on her right arm. The 31 year old injured woman told Amarin TV that she always feared an attack while travelling alone and, sadly, it became a reality for her.

 

Nittaya explained to the police and media that she had accompanied her foreign husband to Isaan province in Nakhon Ratchasima, and subsequently opted to visit her mother in Borrabue district, Mahasarakham province after her husband departed for his home country.

 

On February 6, Nittaya took the Nakhon Ratchasima-Ubon Ratchathani coach bus for her return journey. While stowing her backpack in the bus storage before departure, she was approached by 24 year old Sahatsawat, who inquired about her destination.

Yesterday I was at our village hospital, met a older lady that we know, her son in handcuffs and two cops. Son spent last week doing drugs 24/7, mother got enough, called cops to take him to hospital and forcibly detox him. If you can do this with junkie son, you can definitely do it with people stabbing mentally ill son.

Don't see the relevance of having a foreign husband.

 

Why did she fear travelling alone on public transport? 

 

Seems like a crap report full of scope to open it up to misinterpretation.

 

Married to a foreigner, travelling alone... something like this was bound to happen. Utter rubbish.
