Teen found dead and father injured in Saraburi home attack

A tragic incident has unfolded in Saraburi, where a 14 year old boy was found dead with his throat slashed, and his father was severely injured. Police are investigating the case, calling in family members for questioning.

Police in Saraburi are intensifying their investigation into the brutal killing of a 14 year old boy named Boonsin Kusri and the severe injury of his 40 year old father, Boonrit Kusri, at their home. The incident was reported by Sombat Phonsing, a deputy inspector at Ban Mo Police Station.

Officers were dispatched to the scene at house number 134, Moo 4, Nong Bua Sub-district, Ban Mo District, along with rescue workers from Sawang Rattanatrai Dhammasathan Saraburi and forensic experts.

The crime scene was a single-storey house elevated about 1 metre from the ground, with zinc walls. Inside, Boonsin was found lying on his back in his bedroom, shirtless and wearing black sports shorts, with a deep cut on his throat, which had caused extensive bleeding. His father, Boonrit, was also found with a severe neck wound and was rushed to Ban Mo Hospital for treatment.

A 20-centimetre kitchen knife, stained with blood, was discovered under the stairs. A piece of paper with the number 1169 written in blood was also found in front of the room. Forensic officers collected these items as evidence.

Manasvet Thong-im, the chief of Ban Mo Police Station, mentioned that the perpetrator is currently unknown. The police are reviewing surveillance footage from nearby cameras and awaiting autopsy results from the forensic team in Saraburi Province. All potential motives, including external threats, internal family issues, and close relations, are being considered.

Home attack

The police called in 75 year old Bangonrat Kusri, and 66 year old Lerdchai Kusri, the grandparents of Boonsin, for questioning, which lasted over two hours. They are also interviewing three additional witnesses to gather more information.

It was revealed that Bangonrat had moved the knife under the stairs, initially found near a fan in the bedroom, to prevent it from obstructing the investigation. Surveillance footage also captured Lerchai riding a motorcycle back from the market, passing by the house about 1 kilometre away from the crime scene, reported KhaoSod.

The police continue to piece together the timeline and circumstances of the incident, but the exact cause of death and the motive behind the attack remain unclear. The body of Boonsin has been sent for a detailed autopsy at Srinakharinwirot University Hospital in Ongkharak District, Nakhon Nayok Province.
