2 Thai men attack ex-girlfriend and her new boyfriend with knives

Two unhinged jealous ex-boyfriends managed to evade arrest following a vicious knife attack on their ex-girlfriend and her new boyfriend at her home in the southern province of Phetchaburi.

A medical team at Cha-am Hospital reported the stabbing to Cha-am Police Station after three victims were admitted to surgery on Sunday night, July 21. The Thai man, Dream, was cut on his left ear, his 25 year old girlfriend Wassana was stabbed in the chest and Wassana’s older sister, Salaiporn, suffered a cut to her left arm.

Wassana was initially in critical condition but Cha-am Hospital later confirmed to the police that she was safe.

Salaiporn told the police that the attackers were Wassana’s ex-boyfriends, 29 year old Nueang and 31 year old Mui. Salaiporn said Nueang and Mui came to her home, where she lived with Wassana and her boyfriend Dream, to drink alcohol.

Unexpectedly, Nueang and Mui grabbed two knives and rushed to a bedroom where Dream was resting. A heated argument ensued and the two attackers cut Dream’s left ear.

According to Salaiporn, the electricity then went out, intensifying the chaos. Wassana intervened to protect her boyfriend and suddenly screamed out in the darkness.

Salaiporn used her mobile phone’s torch to check on her sister and found a knife embedded in her chest. She called the hospital while the two attackers fled the scene.

Both Thai men have yet to be apprehended and remain at large.

A similar story was reported in May when a Thai man was attacked by his girlfriend’s ex-boyfriend after they accidentally stayed next door to each other at a hotel in the Isaan province of Buriram.

In June, another Thai woman was physically assaulted by her ex-boyfriend who lived near her in the eastern province of Rayong. The ex-boyfriend came to her workplace and repeatedly beat her up and hit her with a keyboard, leaving her with serious injuries.

Another related case was reported last week when a 17 year old Thai woman was brutally assaulted by her ex-boyfriend. She had requested to break up with him due to his abusive behaviour, but he refused and repeatedly attacked her with a knife.
