A 71-year-old man with an amputated leg has been arrested after allegedly stabbing a younger man to death out of frustration over continuous harassment. After the incident, the suspect reportedly cycled home and was later arrested by the police.

 

The scene of the crime, at a roadside pavilion near Wat Bang Samak entrance in the province of Chachoengsao, was attended by police, forensic specialists, a standby doctor from Bang Pakong Hospital, and rescue volunteers. They arrived past midnight to find the 45-year-old deceased, identified only as Neng, lying face-down in a pool of blood. An autopsy revealed a wound on Neng's left cheekbone and two stab wounds, one in the solar plexus and the other on his left rib side. The crime scene was thoroughly examined before the body was sent for a detailed autopsy.

 

The police interview with Neng's father, Chin, was complicated due to his intoxication. He gave inconsistent information but mentioned not having officially registered Neng's birth. Chin also said that Neng had often been violent towards him, leading to their estrangement. He claimed not to know who could have committed the crime.

 

However, within two hours, the investigation team apprehended the prime suspect, Chaiyaphum, a 71-year-old amputee. Initially, Chaiyaphum denied any involvement in the crime but later confessed.

 

Chaiyaphum told investigators that he often played chess with friends at the pavilion while selling lottery tickets. Neng frequently joined them, usually getting drunk and creating disturbances. The day of the incident, Chaiyaphum claimed that after being insulted by Neng, he stabbed him twice with a pocketknife before cycling home. This account matched the evidence found at the scene.

 

Chaiyaphum is currently in custody at the Bang Pakong Police Station and faces charges of causing death by assault.
