A 54-year-old man armed with a hammer and knives killed his elderly mother and left three neighbours critically injured during a violent rampage in Nong Bua Lamphu province on 23 August.

 

Police identified the suspect as Mr Chansri, who attacked his 75-year-old mother, Mrs Bualee, at their home in Ban Non Sai Thong, Sri Bun Rueang district. Neighbours rushed to help after hearing cries for assistance but were also targeted.

 

According to witnesses, as one neighbour attempted to take the injured woman to hospital, Mr Chansri turned on others. He allegedly struck 72-year-old Mrs Manee, the neighbour’s mother, and 39-year-old Mrs Benjawan, the neighbour’s heavily pregnant wife, with a knife. Both suffered serious wounds to the head and body.

 

Another villager, Mr Tiangsak, 72, who tried to intervene, was also attacked and left severely injured.

 

When village security volunteers moved in to detain him, the suspect reportedly slit his own throat with the same knife, causing life-threatening injuries. He was rushed to Udon Thani Central Hospital.

 

At the scene, police recovered several bloodstained weapons, including a machete, a butcher’s knife, a claw hammer and a wrench.

 

District chief Phetai Jorakratok said the suspect was a long-term drug user with a history of psychiatric illness. Records showed that he had previously attempted self-harm in 2022 and assaulted relatives in 2023.

 

Provincial governor Surasak Aksornkul has ordered a full investigation and directed social welfare agencies to support the three affected families. The injured victims remain in hospital under close medical supervision.
