Police arrested a Burmese woman who stabbed her Thai employer to steal 30,000 baht in cash and a gold necklace in a house in the northern province of Chiang Mai.

 

Officers from the Chang Puak Police Station were alerted to the attack and theft in the middle of the night on February 10. They rushed to the incident scene at a house in the Chang Puak district of Chiang Mai and found the victim, Suphattra, waiting for help with multiple stab wounds to her chest, left arm and back.

 

Suphattra told police that her 19 year old employee, named Weawdao, entered her bedroom while she was asleep. Weawdao made a noise that woke Suphattra. As soon as Weawdao realised that Suphattra was awake, she approached and stabbed her repeatedly.

 

The 46 year old tried to defend herself by throwing various objects at her but to no avail. Weawdao continued to attack her. She fled, found a hiding place and contacted the police.

 

Suphattra was rushed to the hospital with serious injuries but she is now in stable condition. According to Supattha, Weawdao searched for valuables and managed to escape the scene with 30,000 baht in cash and a gold necklace worth about 9,000 baht.
