Young delivery rider found fatally stabbed in Nonthaburi alley
A tragic stabbing incident occurred in Nonthaburi, where a young delivery rider was found dead in an alley, clutching hair in both hands. The rider’s 19 year old girlfriend mourned over his body at the scene.
Officers from Pak Kret Police Station were alerted to the scene shortly after midnight today, November 27, discovering the body of a male, believed to be between 20 and 25 years old, in a village alley in the Bang Talat area. The young man had sustained a knife wound on his left ribcage.
Nearby, a helmet lay on the ground, and his hands clutched strands of hair, adding a grim complexity to his death.
Not far from his body, two knives were discovered. One was a pointed knife, while the other resembled a blood-stained machete. Additionally, two packets of snacks were found, with one already opened.
A trail of blood traced the path from where the knives were found to the location of the deceased, painting a chilling picture of the events leading up to the discovery.
A red and black Honda Wave motorcycle, lacking a registration plate, was also found tipped over near the village wall, approximately 150 metres away from the body. This vehicle, suspected to belong to the deceased, added another layer of mystery to the unfolding investigation.
A resident recounted that around 11.30pm yesterday November 26, a group of teenagers was heard arguing in the alley. The resident promptly contacted the police to report the disturbance. After the noise subsided, a check around midnight revealed the unconscious youth at their doorstep. The police were called again but upon their arrival, the young man had already died.
“Initial reports have been documented, and CCTV footage in the alley will be reviewed to identify the perpetrators. The body has been sent to the Institute of Forensic Science for an autopsy to determine the exact cause of death.”
Later, a 19 year old girl named Ping arrived at the scene. She informed the police that the deceased was her boyfriend, 18 year old Ae, who lived with his grandmother in the same village.
She explained that Ae worked as a food delivery rider. Ae visited Ping at her home yesterday at around 7pm. He mentioned plans to meet a friend near Lad Pla Khao Road but was unreachable shortly after. The next news she received was of his fatal stabbing. Ping expressed her confusion over whether Ae had any conflicts with others.
“I don’t know what problems he might have had with anyone. We were just living our lives, and suddenly, he’s gone.”
The police continue to investigate, looking into potential motives and suspects in this case, reported KhaoSod.
