A 16-year-old boy has died after being stabbed by a friend during a heated argument over a motorcycle in a residential complex in Muang Thong Thani, Nonthaburi.

 

At approximately 13:00 on 27 May, officers from Pak Kret Police Station received a report from security guards at Muang Thong Thani that a stabbing had occurred outside Building C7. Motorcycle patrol officers were immediately dispatched to the scene.

 

Upon arrival, police found the victim, identified as Mr. Sorntep 16, with stab wounds to his face and right side of his torso. The attacker had fled, and emergency responders rushed the critically injured teen to hospital, where he later succumbed to his injuries.

 

Shortly afterward, local residents informed police that a man matching the attacker’s description had been seen entering Building C3 nearby. Police coordinated with building security to search the premises and successfully located the suspect, later identified as Mr. Wanchai Samakkhetkit, 22.

 

Mr. Wanchai complied with officers’ requests to disarm and allowed himself to be searched. Police recovered a knife, a screwdriver and a pair of pliers from his person. He was taken into custody and brought to Pak Kret Police Station for further questioning and legal proceedings.

 

At the scene, blood stains were still visible on the ground and on a motorcycle believed to be at the centre of the dispute. According to witnesses, both the victim and the suspect were friends and residents of the complex, the former in Building C7 and the latter in Building C3. They were known to frequently gather and smoke cannabis.

 

The conflict reportedly stemmed from the suspect’s repeated unauthorised use of the victim’s motorcycle, which had caused previous tensions. On the day of the incident, the victim confronted the suspect once again, prompting Mr. Wanchai to lash out with a knife he carried regularly.

 

After being stabbed, the victim managed to run to the building’s housekeeping staff to seek help before collapsing. Meanwhile, the suspect calmly returned to his own room, where he was later apprehended.

 

A security guard stationed at the complex told reporters, “The boy ran to me covered in blood, asking for help. I immediately called the police. They arrived quickly with rescue teams and took him to hospital.”

 

Authorities are continuing their investigation and have confirmed that legal action will be taken against the suspect.

Seems like it´s very hard for Thai people to agree to disagree, without using violence as a resort. In this case, the person apparently can´t understand that it was another person motorbike as well.

Yes, of course. He just felt the need to kill. Otherwise no one carries a knife regulary.

Why do they feel the need to confirm the obvious?

Thais cant stop before they killing someone if an argument.I seen this several times.They can't calm down.Just get more and more heated up and obviously missing the stop button before it ends in a murder.

Thailand is quickly starting to look a lot like inner-city ghettos in the USA, life is cheap there too, add a revolving door justice system and society continues to circle the toilet bowl rim.
