In a heartbreaking incident fueled by a misunderstanding, a 69-year-old woman fatally stabbed a 14-year-old boy, wrongly believing he had assaulted her grandson. The incident unfolded on June 25 in the Tha Khanon subdistrict of Surat Thani province.

 

Police Lieutenant Colonel Manop Marotarakul briefed the media following a report received by Police Lieutenant Phatrawit Kittisirivuwan, the deputy inspector of Khiri Ratthanikhom Police Station. The tragic event took place outside a house in Village 11, leaving the community in shock.

 

Upon arrival at the scene, officers discovered the ground stained with blood and a motorcycle parked nearby. The young victim, identified as Tae-chin, suffered a severe stab wound in the abdomen. Despite efforts to save him, he tragically succumbed to his injuries at the hospital.

 

Investigations revealed that the suspect, identified as Janya, acted on a grievous misconception. Earlier that day, her grandson returned home following a scuffle and was accompanied by a friend. When Tae-chin came to visit this friend, Janya mistakenly believed he was the culprit who had harmed her grandson. Driven by this mistaken belief, she attacked Tae-chin with a sickle.

 

The police are diligently gathering evidence to issue an arrest warrant for Janya on charges of intentional manslaughter. They are actively working to locate and apprehend her for further legal action. The incident has cast a cloud over the community, highlighting the devastating consequences of acting on assumptions.

 

As the investigation continues, the community is left to deal with the emotional aftermath of a tragic error that claimed a young life too soon.

Flipping lunatic of a Granny !!!

 

Where are the posters who quote "Nice people the Thais"...      yes, more often than not they are, but there is so much disproportionate unhinged violence such as this...   much of it goes unreported in the Western language media, much of it unreported at all... 

 

I know of two murders on one of the Soi's nearby  (Thai on Thai)...  separate events - none reached any reports in the Thai media.....  There is a lot that happens that simply isn't reported...

 

... Unless its a 'neighbourly noise dispute' which for some reason always attracts the news... seems they are popular to report on.

I'm here. 

 

Calm down Richard, ใจเย็นๆ.

These things happen in other countries, not just Thailand. 

 

Time for dinner mate, I can hear the wife calling.

Go jump in the shower, cool down, relax, put your slippers on and light up the pipe mate. 

 

Come back in the morning when you are feeling better.

Sure Granny's taking out 14 year old kids with scythes... "these things happen in other countries"....  a bit worn out that one...    

 

 

Anyway - my point there was that some folk deliberately ignore these stories and only concentrate on the stories involving negativity around foreigners that fit there agenda and rhetoric... 

... they can be often be found quoting "Nice people the Thais" with complete and deliberate ignorance of such psychotic events happening here in Thailand... 

 

I agree - bad 'stuff' happens everywhere - some delusional melts seem to think it doesn't happen here... 

 

 

At least you are not quite as delusional and can see that the really bad things occur here as they do elsewhere.

He is right off isn’t he.

If it was a western woman he would be claiming there must be more to the story, it is bad reporting, Grandma was only defending her family etc.

But when it comes to Thais he can’t bring himself to hide his bigotry.

I agree with you, he needs to take a break, a long break or perhaps a permanent one.

 

Nice people the Thais.

oh here we go, complaining we all don’t join in with the bigotry and Thai bashing enough.

Using this tragedy to score points on an anonymous forum. What a clown,

 

Because you read about 69 year old women stabbing 14 year olds everyday.

Or not. 
 

Nice people the Thais. The woman thought she was sticking up for her grandson.

like clockwork...      cretinous response to a horrible murder... 

 

....   69 Year old granny thought she was 'stickup up for her grandson'......  She took a scythe and revengefully went out and murdered an innocent boy...   

 

I'd be equally as scathing in my remarks of her behavior whatever her nationality - and equally scathing of your pathetic attempts to defend a murderer, even had it been someone else other than you - though I struggle to see how anyone else could be so deluded.

I would have done the same, after getting the facts straight first

I hope this story doesn't give anyone ideas, I'd hate to see one of our members turn up to the Christmas party with a sickle. 

 

BTW, I hope I haven't offended anyone in the past, if I have im deeply sorry but it was the alcohol. 🍺

See you at the Christmas party. 🥳

Weapon checks at the door? Fair enough.

 

But what on earth are they meant to do about Malcy’s hands? Those things are lethal. Can’t exactly have him pop them in a tray like loose change.

 

Maybe a straitjacket’s the only solution – not exactly unfamiliar territory for him, I’d imagine. He could probably slip right back into one like it’s a favourite dressing gown.

 

"Safety first".... after all.

As usual over ventilating and over exaggerating.

And making up your own version of events to point score.

Its murder..    The scuffle happened earlier in the day, granny went out looking for the kid with a deadly weapon

... Granny Swung a scythe at a 14 year old child and killing them.

 

 

Murder (ฆ่าคนตาย - Kha Khon Tai): Section 288 of the Thai Penal Code:

"Whoever kills another person shall be punished with death, life imprisonment, or imprisonment of 15 to 20 years."

This is the standard murder charge – killing someone intentionally and unlawfully.

 

Aggravated Murder (ฆ่าคนตายโดยไตร่ตรองไว้ก่อน – Premeditated Murder): Section 289:

This applies to premeditated killings, murder of parents, murder for robbery, or to cover up a crime.
Punishment: Death penalty only (although Thailand has a de facto moratorium on executions).

 

Thailand doesn’t use the exact term “manslaughter” in its penal code, but there are less severe forms of unlawful killing, such as:

 

a) Killing in the Heat of Passion 

If someone kills another due to severe provocation or a sudden quarrel, the punishment is lighter (3-

 

b) Negligent Killing 

Causing death through negligence (e.g. reckless and / or drunk driving):

I can see why you like this guy - He Injured motorcyclists in 2019 while drunk driving !!! - got off lightly with a suspended sentence. 

 

Back to the point: He [Pramet Inthachumnun - Senior Prosecutor at the Office of Investigations under the Office of the Attorney General] argues 'intent'... 

 

...  He argue's about intent...  and if it was to 'injure'.. 

 

... Granny took a Scythe and killed the wrong kid, hours after a scuffle...  its murder !!!

That's great to hear, firm law enforcement, corporal punishment, idiots need to be taught a lesson. 

 

Too many times I read comments from the snowflakes, stupid remarks like give him a 'slap on the wrist' or similar.
