Bangkok motorbike taxi driver allegedly stabs another driver to death
A Bangkok motorbike taxi driver allegedly stabbed and killed another driver during an argument. Although the women picked up passengers from different areas, they often clashed. Motorbike taxi driver Thongthae Janmun is facing charges of intent to murder.
The women got in a dispute yesterday. The victim slapped Thongthae on the head, then Thongthae allegedly pulled out a knife and stabbed the driver. Thongthae allegedly turned herself in at the Wang Thonglang police station later that day, admitting to the murder, police say. Nation Thailand says the victim’s family tried to attack Thongthae at the police station.
According to police, Thongthae says she attacked the driver out of anger that had been building up over the past 2 years. Nation Thailand says the slap on the head “infuriated” her, sending her over the edge.
