BANGKOK - A young cannabis seller turned himself in to the police after fatally stabbing a Burmese painter in the neck and chest. The altercation started because the painter walked in front of the seller's motorcycle without apologizing and then insulted him.

 

The incident involved Khun Shin Mon, a 34-year-old Burmese painter, who was stabbed twice and killed near the Happy Land Center on Happy Land Road 2, Khlong Chan Subdistrict, Bang Kapi District, Bangkok, on the evening of July 21. Pol. Col. Thanaphan Phadunggan, Superintendent of Lat Phrao Police Station, directed the investigation to apprehend the suspect, identified as 27-year-old Ek-Isara Sitthikam.

 

At 9:00 AM on July 22, Pol. Col. Thanaphan Phadunggan reported that Ek-Isara had contacted the police and surrendered. He was taken into custody and questioned thoroughly to uncover the motive behind the crime.

 

Ek-Isara, the suspect, admitted that he sells cannabis. On the day of the incident, he was riding his motorcycle when the victim and his group walked in front of him without apologizing and even insulted him.

 

This led to a verbal altercation, which escalated into a physical fight. In his anger, Ek-Isara stabbed the victim twice with a knife he had with him. After the stabbing, he fled the scene on his motorcycle but later decided to surrender early the next morning.

 

The police are currently gathering evidence to request an arrest warrant for charges of murder and carrying a weapon.

People with fragile egos and low impulse control are wacko, straight or stoned

What relevance does his occupation make for this story?

If he worked in a furniture shop, would have they bothered mentioning that he sold sofas?

Sounds like the alleged perpetrator should have been consuming more of the product he said he sells.

RESPECT-it has to earned. Why do such shallow and psychopathic people expect "respect"? Is it maybe the culture, movies, hip-hop and rap music, or just plain idiocy? This attitude is to be expected in the Age of Influencers.

From my nearly 2 decades of experience here, this describes most local men. Imagine getting into an argument because someone walked in front of you. The argument almost assuredly preceded the insult.

Perhaps he'll mature in prison, I doubt it though as male thais seems to need very long time to be a grown up
