A 41-year-old man has been arrested in Buriram province for the brutal killing of a younger acquaintance following a heated argument over a puppy. The victim was attacked with a machete while resting in a hammock and later died from his injuries.

 

The suspect, Mr Khomsan (also known as Boy), was taken into custody by police from Mueang Buriram Police Station after confessing to the fatal attack on Mr Weeraphon (also known as M), aged 37. The incident occurred around 17:00 on 3 June at a friend’s hut in Ban Pho Thai, Krasang Subdistrict, Mueang District.

 

According to investigators, Mr Khomsan admitted that he struck the victim twice with a machete while he lay in a hammock. He claimed the attack stemmed from long-standing verbal abuse and taunting by the victim, despite the two not being close or working together.

 

On the day of the incident, Mr Khomsan cycled to the hut, a place he often visited to drink with friends. As he approached, he accidentally ran over a puppy belonging to the hut’s owner. Though the dog was unharmed and Mr Khomsan apologised, Mr Weeraphon, who was lying in a hammock, allegedly shouted profanities at him, saying: “Are you blind, you idiot?”

 

Mr Khomsan said he felt deeply insulted, especially as the dog’s owner had not expressed any anger. Holding onto past grievances, he returned home to retrieve a machete, then came back and attacked Mr Weeraphon while he was still lying in the hammock. He said he did not know at the time whether the victim had died.

 

Mr Santhaya, 46, the hut owner and owner of the puppy, confirmed that there had been an argument between the two men earlier that day. He said he had tried to intervene and separate them but was unaware that Mr Khomsan had returned later and carried out the attack.

 

The victim’s aunt, Ms Napaporn, 54, expressed outrage, calling the act premeditated and unforgivable. “People argue, it happens. But to kill someone like that, while they’re defenceless, is beyond cruel. Don’t bother asking forgiveness from the family, we will never forgive this.”

 

Police have charged Mr Khomsan with murder and have transferred the case to investigators for further legal proceedings.
