A 31 year old man named Thanin was found crying beside the body of his older brother, 34 year old Anurak, following a stabbing incident at Suan Luang Intersection in Bangkok yesterday, June 29, at 3.30pm.
Police Lieutenant Phisanu Inthrachai from Khlong Tan Police Station was informed of the incident and dispatched officers to investigate.
According to Thanin, the brothers were riding a motorcycle together when a dispute broke out. During the argument, Anurak attempted to stab Thanin with a knife he was carrying. Thanin managed to wrest the weapon from his brother and retaliated, resulting in a stab wound under Anurak’s throat.
The brothers continued their journey on the motorcycle, intending to return home at the end of Soi Phatthanakan 20 Intersection 7, with Anurak driving and Thanin as the passenger. However, midway through their journey, Anurak suddenly stopped the motorcycle and collapsed.
Residents who witnessed the incident alerted emergency services, but Anurak was found to have no vital signs upon their arrival. The police have taken Thanin into custody for questioning and are proceeding with legal actions, reported KhaoSod.
