KHON KAEN - In a shocking turn of events, a 75-year-old man fatally struck an 80-year-old love rival in Khon Kaen, ending a fiery love triangle dispute over a 56-year-old woman.

 

The incident unfolded on 18th August when police were called to a home in Non Thong, Waeng Yai District, following reports of a fatal altercation.

 

Upon arrival, officers discovered the body of Mr. A (alias), aged 80, lying lifeless on the lawn with a severe head wound. Mr. C (alias), aged 75, was found intoxicated, clutching a hoe, ready to surrender.

 

The dispute began as the two men visited the home of Ms. B (alias) and engaged in an alcohol-fuelled argument.

 

According to Mr. C's statement, he had brought alcohol to Ms. B's house, a local single woman, and Mr. A joined him. After some drinking, Mr. A allegedly taunted Mr. C about his affections for Ms. B, sparking a heated exchange, reported the Daily News.

He remains in custody as authorities carry out further investigations and legal proceedings.
