A tragic incident occurred at a market in Bangkok, where a foreign worker fatally stabbed a drinking companion with scissors over a 500 baht debt dispute.

 

Police were alerted to the incident around 10pm yesterday, October 23. Deputy Inspector Pisai Thongmee, along with several other officers, responded to a report of a fatal stabbing in Soi Ekkachai 64/7, Khlong Bang Phran, Bang Bon district. The victim, identified as 27 year old Bobo Oo, from Myanmar, was found near the market’s restroom area.

 

He suffered a fatal stab wound to the left side of his neck. Police discovered a pair of fabric scissors and a blue shoulder bag on a nearby table, with another blood-stained pair of scissors found about 10 metres away.

 

Preliminary witness accounts revealed that Bobo, along with the suspect and two other friends, had been drinking together at another location before moving to the market area. The group was chatting when the suspect began demanding repayment of 500 baht (US$15) that Bobo had borrowed.

 

When Bobo stated he didn’t have the money, an argument ensued, escalating into a physical altercation. The suspect then used the scissors to stab Bobo in the neck. Following the attack, the suspect paused briefly before fleeing the scene, while the other friends, shocked by the violence, also ran away.

 

The suspect, identified as 54 year old Klay Win, also from Myanmar, works as a labourer at the market and is currently at large, reported KhaoSod.

 

Investigators have started reviewing CCTV footage in the area to track down the suspect and plan to expedite efforts to bring him to justice.

Only plan to?

Funny how the victim had money to buy alcohol but none to repay his debt. But shocking how cheap life is here.

Choose your drinking buddies wisely

These guys are amateurs,    fabric scissors, what they couldn't find any knitting needles.

Don't they know the Thai way is either a machete, an axe or a gun.

They were not Thai though. Hmm... Although they did follow many Thai examples of their inability to control themselves over minor matters resulting in death.

also,  at 54 ... you'd think at his age he'd be a bit the wiser.

The uneducated poor often lacks  the sense of  priority.

Looks like common skid row psychology worldwide.

Being poor makes them dumb.
