The suspect, identified as 29 year old Gae Tha Oo, also a Myanmar national, was apprehended by Taling Chan police shortly after the incident. He sustained a head injury and was found in possession of two blood-stained knives. Tha Oo confessed to the stabbing, explaining that he had been attacked first and acted in self-defence.
According to Colonel Monchai, the workers involved in the incident were responsible for carrying stones within the factory. The dispute arose from a personal argument while they were drinking together after hours, reported KhaoSod.
