Crime Two Men Arrested for Fatal Stabbing of Motorcycle Taxi Driver in Udon Thani
Picture courtesy of Matichon. Two men have been arrested for the fatal stabbing of a motorcycle taxi driver in central Udon Thani, following what suspects claimed was a drug-fuelled confrontation over a stolen mobile phone. The incident occurred around 20:30 on 4 May on Prajak Sillapakom Road, directly opposite a mobile phone shop in the Mueang Udon Thani district. Police and rescue teams responded swiftly after being alerted to a stabbing on the pavement. The victim, identified as Mr Kant, 35, a motorcycle taxi driver from Nong Na Kham Subdistrict, was found lying unconscious in a pool of blood, having sustained a stab wound to the left side of his chest. Despite being rushed to Bangkok Hospital Udon Thani, he was later pronounced dead. Witnesses included the victim’s wife, Ms Orathai, deputy manager of a nearby convenience store, who was present at the scene. CCTV footage from a traditional Thai massage shop across the street revealed two men crossing the road towards the victim before an altercation broke out. One of the men was seen stabbing the victim before both fled in the direction of Udon Thani railway station, approximately one kilometre away. By 23:00, police had apprehended the suspects: Mr Patiwat (alias Pon), 27, from Nakhon Ratchasima, and Mr Wuttikorn (alias Boy), 26, from Nakhon Phanom. The arrests followed a phone call from Mr Pon’s wife, Ms Khwanruethai, who helped arrange their surrender. One man was arrested at a nearby rental room and the other outside the train station. Mr Boy confessed to stabbing the victim but claimed it was self-defence, stating the victim had tried to attack him and was injured. He admitted to taking two methamphetamine pills prior to the incident and said the knife was normally used to cut straws for drug use, which he lost while fleeing. Mr Pon also confessed to having taken two meth pills and claimed he had a longstanding grudge against the victim, who he alleged stole a Samsung mobile phone worth 3,000 baht from his room during the Songkran festival. Multiple requests for the phone’s return were allegedly ignored. The confrontation on the night of the stabbing, according to him, escalated when the victim appeared to threaten him. Mr Pon’s wife, Ms Khwanruethai, explained that she and her husband had only planned to visit a local market. The fatal altercation occurred by chance when they encountered the victim on the street. She insisted her husband was not the one who stabbed the man and only tried to reclaim the stolen phone. Police Colonel Patthanawong Janpol, Superintendent of Mueang Udon Thani Police Station, stated that Mr Boy has yet to reveal the location of the knife and clothing used during the attack. Both suspects are being held on charges of jointly causing the death and illegal use of Category 1 narcotics (methamphetamine). Ms Khwanruethai has not been charged and is considered a key witness, having cooperated with authorities in arranging the surrender of both suspects. Adapted by Asean Now from Matichon 2025-05-06. -

Crime Mob Gathers Outside Bangkok Police Station After Woman Brutally Beaten by Group
Picture courtesy of Khaosod. A violent assault on a 27-year-old woman by a group of men and women in a Bangkok alley sparked outrage overnight, as over 100 of the victim’s friends and supporters gathered at Suttisan Police Station, nearly mobbing the alleged attackers in a tense standoff with police. The incident took place late on 4 May outside an apartment complex in Soi Ratchadaphisek 13, Din Daeng district. A video clip of the attack, lasting four minutes, was widely circulated on social media, showing the victim attempting to flee before being dragged back and beaten again by the group. The victim was later identified as Ms Mai, aged 27. Her family, who had been unable to contact her following the attack, sought help from Suttisan Police and a local activist page. Officers eventually found Ms Mai walking disoriented in a nearby alley and reunited her with relatives before she filed a formal complaint. Suttisan Police swiftly detained three suspects, two women and one man, for questioning. However, tensions flared at the police station as more than 100 friends of the victim arrived and attempted to physically assault the suspects as they were being led into the investigation room. A team of over 20 officers was deployed to restore order and negotiate with the crowd, which later dispersed peacefully. Investigations have identified five people involved in the assault, three women and two men. Police are currently tracking down the remaining two suspects. Ms Chantana the victim’s 51-year-old mother, expressed deep anguish over the attack. “My daughter begged them to stop. She surrendered, she told them she was pregnant, but they didn’t stop. They chased and beat her again. I will not accept any compromise. I want full justice,” she said. She acknowledged that her daughter has a history of drug use and mental health issues and had previously undergone rehabilitation. She also mentioned that there had been prior conflict between her daughter and the assailants, although details were unclear. Friends of the victim stated that Ms Mai had previously been assaulted during the Songkran festival and had retaliated against her rivals on 1 May, a few days before the latest incident. However, they condemned the severity of the latest attack as excessive and brutal. Police are treating the incident as two separate cases: the earlier attack allegedly carried out by Ms Mai and the current assault against her. Authorities assured that the investigation would be fair to all parties based on the facts and evidence. Adapted by Asean Now from Khaosod 2025-05-06.
