Jealousy sparks stabbing — mayor’s grandson wanted in Phuket

Police are seeking a man accused of stabbing another man multiple times at a Phuket pub in a case believed to involve jealousy. The attacker is identified as the grandson of a local mayor, and the victim is hospitalized in serious condition. CCTV footage shows the suspect approaching from behind and stabbing his target before fleeing the scene. The suspect abandoned a white BMW (later seized) and is expected to surrender soon while a warrant is being prepared. The case has generated public interest given the suspect’s political family connections, but law enforcement says all will be treated equally under the law.
