A tragic incident unfolded in Sattahip, Chon Buri as police located a high school student from a prominent private school suspected of fatally stabbing a younger student. The altercation, which began as a challenge and escalated into a physical confrontation, ended with the first-year student succumbing to his injuries after being stabbed in the back.

 

Police officers, including Thanaphon Klin Kasem, the Superintendent of Sattahip Police Station, and investigative teams, responded promptly to the incident. The suspect, a 14 year old student, was found approximately 400 metres from the scene in a residential area of Bang Sare, Sattahip district, Chon Buri province.

 

Police coordinated with the suspect’s guardians to bring him in for questioning, accompanied by a multidisciplinary team. Discussions with the parents revealed that the students had prior conflicts at the school.

 

The second-year student alleged that the younger student provoked him by giving him challenging looks, leading to mutual taunts. This tension culminated in a chat message arranging a meeting to resolve their issues, which tragically spiralled out of control.

 

 

“Upon meeting, a verbal altercation escalated into a physical fight. The younger student attempted to leave for home but was unexpectedly stabbed from behind, resulting in his death. Legal proceedings are underway, considering the suspect’s juvenile status.”

 

The victim, referred to as Child A, was found by his mother in a state of distress after the stabbing. The heartbreaking scene left the family in shock, grappling with the loss of their son. The mother was reportedly in tears, expressing disbelief over the senseless act of violence.

 

The incident sparked conversations about school safety and the measures needed to prevent such tragedies. It highlights the importance of addressing conflicts among students before they escalate into violence. Schools and communities are urged to foster environments where students feel safe and supported, with accessible conflict resolution resources.

 

The police confirmed that they are handling the matter with sensitivity due to the ages of those involved. The focus remains on understanding the circumstances that led to the confrontation and ensuring that justice is served appropriately, reported KhaoSod.

And this led to the stabbing....

I bet the deceased person would have a different story if he could tell it.

 

The worst part is that this killer will be back out in a fairly short time.

The outcome will all depend on the respective social status of the two students!  If the killer is the son of a police or military officer it will all be brushed under the carpet as a misunderstanding.

Another reason why phones should be banned in schools. The entitled little <deleted> stabbed the kid in the back. He deserves to spend quite a bit of time in the juvenile system. Hopefully the parents of the murdered child don’t accept a pay off. If the kid can’t control his emotions he needs serious help.

A sign of the times. Not only in Thailand. In my school in London back in the 1940s. Any altercations between pupils seen by the teachers were diverted to the Gym, where it was sorted out with the gloves on, and a shake of hands after. Even on the streets it was one to one and no kicking. On the street on one occasion I received a black eye and again we sorted it out in the gym later under the teacher's supervision. No. I wasn't a trouble maker. It was just growing up in a time when our fathers were away fighting a war and we had to look after ourselves. Mentally and physically. Now I think, due to violence shown on the internet anything goes.

Why phones? A knife was used to stab the boy, not a phone!
