A 34-year-old man has been arrested in Sisaket province after he stabbed his long-term girlfriend and her mother in what police believe was a fit of rage fuelled by financial stress and relationship tensions.

 

The attack took place at around 19:30 on 26 June near a laundrette in Mueang Tai Subdistrict, Mueang District. Police from Mueang Sisaket Station responded to reports of a stabbing at a row of rented rooms where the laundrette operates.

 

Officers arriving at the scene found bloodstains scattered in front of the shop and surrounding area. The suspect, Mr. Teerapong 34, was standing nearby holding a knife and immediately surrendered to police.

 

Approximately three units down, officers found two women suffering from stab wounds. Ms. Dawika 49, the mother of the suspect’s girlfriend, was lying on the floor with a stab wound below her navel. Her daughter, Ms. Anchalee 32, had a stab wound under her left armpit. Emergency responders rushed both women to Sisaket Hospital for urgent treatment.

 

As police took Mr. Teerapong into custody, angry relatives of the victims attempted to attack him, prompting officers to intervene and de-escalate the situation.

 

Neighbours told reporters that Mr. Teerapong had been in a relationship with Ms. Anchalee for several years. They said he regularly consumed alcohol and displayed obsessive behaviour. He reportedly resented his girlfriend’s debts, which had become a frequent point of contention.

 

Moments before the attack, witnesses said Ms. Dawika ran out of the house clutching her stomach and shouting, “Help! I’ve been stabbed!” Blood was found throughout the area. Ms. Anchalee also emerged shortly after, wounded and in distress.

 

According to Ms. Anchalee’s younger brother, he had previously warned Mr. Teerapong about his sister’s debt, advising him to end the relationship if he could not accept it. Instead, Mr. Teerapong repeatedly insulted and belittled his girlfriend over the matter.

 

Police stated that Mr. Teerapong had only recently returned from a trip home a few days prior to the attack. He is now in police custody and has been formally charged. The investigation is ongoing as authorities prepare to prosecute him to the full extent of the law.
