A 29-year-old man, identified as Jeerapat or "Beer," was arrested at Bhumibol Hospital's emergency room in Bangkok following a fatal altercation with his 64-year-old neighbour, Sorask. The conflict arose over the noise from Jeerapat's motorcycle, reportedly due to engine problems requiring constant revving.

 

The incident occurred on April 23 around 8 pm in Soi Phahonyothin 48, Alley 30, in the Anusawari area of the Bang Khen district. Police responded to reports of a violent confrontation involving a knife, discovering signs of a struggle and blood stains at the scene.

 

Sorask sustained critical stab wounds to the chest and face and was transported to CGH Hospital, where he later succumbed to his injuries. Meanwhile, Jeerapat was treated for a stab wound in his right thigh at Bhumibol Hospital, where authorities detained him.

 

 

 

Jeerapat recounted that the dispute began as he returned home on his motorcycle after dropping off his girlfriend. Due to the malfunctioning engine, the noise disturbed Sorask, leading to their first confrontation. During this encounter, Jeerapat alleged that Sorask stabbed him, prompting Jeerapat to retreat home.

 

Later, while heading to the hospital, Jeerapat encountered Sorask again, who was reportedly blocking the road and brandishing a knife. A second struggle ensued, during which Jeerapat claimed he wrestled the knife from Sorask and retaliated, inflicting the fatal injuries.

 

Police have confiscated the knife as evidence and are moving forward with legal proceedings against Jeerapat at Bang Khen station. This tragic incident underscores the potentially deadly consequences of everyday disputes when they escalate unchecked.
