Picture from responders.

 

An incident occurred in Samut Prakan early morning on January 17, when a 72-year-old father fatally stabbed his son during a violent altercation. The father claimed he acted in self-defence after his son attacked him over a demand for money to purchase drugs and alcohol.

 

At 02:30 officers from Bang Pu Police Station were alerted to a fatal stabbing at a townhouse in a residential area in Phraeksa Mai, Mueang District, Samut Prakan. Police, along with forensic experts and rescue workers from the Ruamkatanyu Foundation, arrived at the scene to investigate.

 

Inside the house, they discovered the lifeless body of Mr. Parinya, aged 42, lying in a pool of blood in the ground-floor living room. He had sustained seven stab wounds to his chest, side, and arms. Nearby, the suspect, Mr. Prakob, the victim's father, sat waiting to surrender to the authorities.

 

According to Mr. Pirom Kaewsamsri, a rescue worker who responded to the scene, the victim's mother ran out of the house in tears, pleading for help just as rescue teams arrived. She recounted that the dispute began when her son demanded money from his father to buy methamphetamine and alcohol. When his father refused, citing a lack of funds, the son became enraged and physically assaulted him, choking him violently.

 

Fearing for his life, the father grabbed a nearby fruit knife and repeatedly stabbed his son in self-defence. The victim's mother, too frightened to intervene during the altercation, confirmed that her son had a history of demanding money from his father and would often become aggressive when denied.

 

Police also noted that Mr. Prakob sustained minor injuries to his arm during the struggle. He was taken into custody for questioning at Bang Pu Police Station and has been initially charged with intentional manslaughter.

 

The victim's body has been sent to Ramathibodi Chakri Naruebodindra Institute of Forensic Medicine for an autopsy. Further investigations are underway to gather more details surrounding the incident.

Parents never expect their children to die before they do.

When it happens, it is tragic.

Having to kill your own flesh and blood in self defence is just  a big double whammy.

There but for the grace of God could be anyone.

Obviously bring your children up to know right from wrong but many families lose kids to drug addiction effects are devastating to both the user and there families 

Sadly this seems to happen quite a lot here.

And people still were upset about the lady that built a cell like room for her drug addicted son. This stuff happens way too often and I hope if they find any drugs in his system that the father will be immediately released. This certainly sounds like an ongoing issue and he finally decided to protect himself from the abuse.

in this case, it isn't tragic.

the son assaulted and violently choked his father and may have killed the father. 

it would have been tragic if the father had died.

the son dying is proper karmic justice.
