Russian Tourist Stabbed in Heated Brawl at Pattaya Market

A violent altercation between two foreign tourists escalated into a stabbing at Pattaya Park Market in Nong Prue, Bang Lamung District, Chonburi. Lieutenant Colonel Sanan Kotanon, Deputy Investigation Inspector of Pattaya City Police Station (Dongtan Substation), received the report around 00:35 on November 6 and dispatched investigators and rescue personnel from Sawang Boriboon Pattaya Thammasathan to the scene.

 

According to eyewitness accounts, a Russian tourist, identified as Miss Spiridonova (identity unconfirmed), aged 45-50, was enjoying an evening with friends when a dispute with another Russian man turned violent. Witnesses described seeing the man, who wore a white sleeveless shirt and shorts, initially approach the group in a seemingly friendly manner, only for a verbal confrontation to erupt. The suspect left temporarily, returning about ten minutes later.

Upon his return, Spiridonova confronted him, pulling his hair. The situation escalated rapidly as the man produced a knife and stabbed her multiple times. Spiridonova collapsed to the ground, covered in blood, with two deep stab wounds on her left side and severe injuries to her left arm. Rescue personnel performed first aid before rushing her to a nearby hospital.

 

Mr. Ki, 33, an eyewitness, attempted to intervene by wrestling the knife away from the suspect. In the ensuing chaos, the suspect managed to flee the scene. Investigators later found a trail of blood and a 30-centimetre knife, which was collected as evidence.

 

Other witnesses reported seeing Spiridonova and her friends enjoying their evening before the suspect arrived with a visibly hostile expression. Though a male companion in the group tried to defuse the situation, both parties became engaged in a physical struggle, which ended with Spiridonova being severely injured. Friends of the victim revealed that the suspect appeared to be jealous, as the victim was his estranged wife. They urged authorities to apprehend him promptly, fearing he might attempt to flee the country.

 

Lieutenant Colonel Sanan Kotanon, now overseeing the investigation, has documented the scene and is coordinating with a search team to locate the suspect. Surveillance footage from the area and along possible escape routes is under review as police continue their investigation to bring the perpetrator to justice.

Indeed, but the greed of money is hard to overcome, same with alcohol and other drugs and sex with hookers.

Nah, us Brits are the champions these days. I just spent the morning sharpening my flick knives.
 

I wonder what she did to annoy her ex husband so much?

Just jealousy or did she take all his money, his house and access to his children. It sends a lot over the edge.

One incident and they're screaming to ban a whole nation. I live just down the road from Pattaya Park. It's a well known Russian hang out, always busy, with many smaller premises around. It's usually very peaceful, and a lot more so than Buakao and it's environs. There's an open air bar opposite on Soi 6 which does good business and manages to stay open til the late early hours, without making any commotion. These preconceptions and stereotypes are a joke.

Surely they could just track him down, thanks to the brilliant 90 day reporting system, which they have in place for this kind of situation.
