Community Anthrax Death Reported in Mukdahan Province
UPDATE Anthrax Confusion in Mukdahan: Still Trying to Trace Origin of Outbreak Picture courtesy of Matichon. Health authorities in Mukdahan are scrambling to trace the source of an anthrax outbreak that has already claimed one life and infected two others, as conflicting test results complicate efforts to pinpoint the origin. Dr Narong Chankaeo, Provincial Public Health Officer, confirmed that three cases of anthrax have been identified so far in Don Tan District, one of which resulted in death. Two other patients remain under hospital care, while 98 individuals are being closely monitored for symptoms, primarily those who may have been exposed through skin contact or ingestion. No cases of respiratory anthrax have been detected, which would require a longer 60-day observation period. The investigation has focused on two cattle slaughtering operations. The first, on 12 April, was linked to the deceased and the confirmed patients. The second, on 28 April, involved a separate group, with no apparent connection to the first. However, spore tests from the second site returned positive for anthrax, while no spores were detected at the first, the one associated with the fatalities. Health officials were further alarmed when environmental samples taken from the deceased’s home revealed anthrax spores on both a chopping board and a knife. This discovery suggests indirect contamination and highlights the difficulty in tracing the exact origin of the infection. “We now face the difficult task of determining how the infection entered the first slaughter group, since environmental tests from that location showed no signs of the bacteria,” Dr Narong explained. Questions have arisen about whether the contaminated beef may have originated outside the province. However, investigations have so far yielded no confirmation, and no one has admitted to importing cattle or meat from other areas. In response, local authorities have launched a comprehensive sanitation campaign in the affected area of Lao Mee subdistrict. Disinfectant has been distributed to every household, with particular focus on cleaning food preparation equipment. Talks are also underway about providing new chopping boards and knives to residents to restore public confidence. When asked about the effectiveness of the current decontamination measures, Dr Narong said follow-up tests might be necessary, though this decision lies with the provincial livestock department. The investigation continues amid public concern and a race against time to prevent further infections. Adapted by Asean Now from Matichon 2025-05-06. -

Kamala Harris Faces Uncertain Path to 2028 as Democrats Weigh Future
Not a big fan but I think except for a few major errors, she ran an incredible campaign. But the people wanted fascism, cheaper eggs, and to scapegoat immigrants and LGBT people. In fairness, she deserves another shot to COMPETE for the nomination if there is a real election by then. -

Crime Two Men Arrested for Fatal Stabbing of Motorcycle Taxi Driver in Udon Thani
Picture courtesy of Matichon. Two men have been arrested for the fatal stabbing of a motorcycle taxi driver in central Udon Thani, following what suspects claimed was a drug-fuelled confrontation over a stolen mobile phone. The incident occurred around 20:30 on 4 May on Prajak Sillapakom Road, directly opposite a mobile phone shop in the Mueang Udon Thani district. Police and rescue teams responded swiftly after being alerted to a stabbing on the pavement. The victim, identified as Mr Kant, 35, a motorcycle taxi driver from Nong Na Kham Subdistrict, was found lying unconscious in a pool of blood, having sustained a stab wound to the left side of his chest. Despite being rushed to Bangkok Hospital Udon Thani, he was later pronounced dead. Witnesses included the victim’s wife, Ms Orathai, deputy manager of a nearby convenience store, who was present at the scene. CCTV footage from a traditional Thai massage shop across the street revealed two men crossing the road towards the victim before an altercation broke out. One of the men was seen stabbing the victim before both fled in the direction of Udon Thani railway station, approximately one kilometre away. By 23:00, police had apprehended the suspects: Mr Patiwat (alias Pon), 27, from Nakhon Ratchasima, and Mr Wuttikorn (alias Boy), 26, from Nakhon Phanom. The arrests followed a phone call from Mr Pon’s wife, Ms Khwanruethai, who helped arrange their surrender. One man was arrested at a nearby rental room and the other outside the train station. Mr Boy confessed to stabbing the victim but claimed it was self-defence, stating the victim had tried to attack him and was injured. He admitted to taking two methamphetamine pills prior to the incident and said the knife was normally used to cut straws for drug use, which he lost while fleeing. Mr Pon also confessed to having taken two meth pills and claimed he had a longstanding grudge against the victim, who he alleged stole a Samsung mobile phone worth 3,000 baht from his room during the Songkran festival. Multiple requests for the phone’s return were allegedly ignored. The confrontation on the night of the stabbing, according to him, escalated when the victim appeared to threaten him. Mr Pon’s wife, Ms Khwanruethai, explained that she and her husband had only planned to visit a local market. The fatal altercation occurred by chance when they encountered the victim on the street. She insisted her husband was not the one who stabbed the man and only tried to reclaim the stolen phone. Police Colonel Patthanawong Janpol, Superintendent of Mueang Udon Thani Police Station, stated that Mr Boy has yet to reveal the location of the knife and clothing used during the attack. Both suspects are being held on charges of jointly causing the death and illegal use of Category 1 narcotics (methamphetamine). Ms Khwanruethai has not been charged and is considered a key witness, having cooperated with authorities in arranging the surrender of both suspects. Adapted by Asean Now from Matichon 2025-05-06. -
