Police are searching for a suspect following a deadly knife attack at an apartment block in Bo Win, Si Racha District, that left one Myanmar man dead and his younger brother seriously injured. The attack is believed to have stemmed from ongoing personal disputes.

At around 20:00 on 14 April, Pol. Sub-Lt. Jomphop Khongsin, duty officer at Bo Win Police Station, received reports of a fatal stabbing involving Myanmar nationals at an apartment complex in Moo 8, Bo Win Subdistrict, Chonburi Province.

Officers arrived at the scene accompanied by forensic investigators, medical personnel from Aow Udom Hospital, and volunteers from the Poh Teck Tung Foundation’s Si Racha division.

They discovered the body of 30-year-old Mr. Su Mong, a Myanmar national, on the fourth floor of the apartment. He had suffered multiple stab wounds to the torso. A 5-inch kitchen knife, believed to be the murder weapon, was found beside the blood-soaked body.

His younger brother, Mr. Phyu Nini, 22, was found severely injured after fleeing approximately 200 metres to another apartment building to seek help. He had sustained stab wounds to his left side, back, and chest. Emergency responders rushed him to Queen Savang Vadhana Memorial Hospital for treatment.

Authorities have sent the deceased’s body to Laem Chabang Hospital for a full autopsy. Police are currently reviewing witness testimonies and security footage to identify and locate the assailant.

The motive behind the attack is still under investigation.
