The scene of the stabbings.

PHUKET: Police are confident they will swiftly arrest the knifeman who single-handedly stabbed two 21-year-old men, one fatally, in a post-party brawl in Phuket City's Talaid Yai sub district in the early hour's of this morning.

At about 2am today Vachira Phuket Hospital informed police of the death of 21-year-old Sayomphu Guamsup of Kokaeo, who had been prounced dead not long after being admitted to the hosptal's ER unit.

An examination found that Mr Sayomphu had sustained three 30mm stab wounds in the abdominal region. Mr Sayomphu was admitted to hospital about the same time as Mr Sompong Boonrak, also 21, but a resident of Talad Yai. Mr Sompong, who was stabbed on the left side of his stomach is recovering at hospital.

Police have named the sole suspect in the stabbings only as "Golf". It is understood that the victim was with a group of friends enjoying themselves at an entertainment establishment when they became entangled in a spat with a group at another table, which escalated as the men left the establishment.

By the time rescue workers had arrived to scene of the fight at about 1.45am -- in front of popular clothing shops on Surin Rd in Talad Yai -- the suspect had already fled. However, police have assured that they are close on the suspect's trail.

Single handedly?

Brave guy

What's the chick squatting there? she's not having a dump is she?

She's their forensic specialist.

30mm stab wound? Tats just over an inch, doesn´t seem very deep...

maybe 30mm is not the depth, but the size of the cut

Someone's got to come out & do the "it's not the width but the depth joke here !!

I'm too embarrassed to!

Puket and Pataya are thailands best know secrets. The best places not to go no vacation..

I'll bite. Despite the victim obviously expiring, just how deep does a fatal stab wound need to be in your opinion?

I don't think they mean depth but width that's a pretty big knife

rip and condolences to friends and family,

The post is as hollow as the photo...

I think you are being a little unfair to Pattaya. Most murders are carried are in the Phuket Koh Samui area.

Pattaya does not have many murders but some people fall off balconies.

Supposedly five people got arrested, but I don't see anyone charged with murder in the latest report, only one person for attempted murder.
