Phuket stab victim dies en route to hospital
PHUKET: A Phuket woman who was stabbed in her garden this afternoon died as her neighbors rushed her to Thalang Hospital.
Nongluk Thavorn, 42, was found screaming for help with a knife still lodged in her head.
“I climbed over the wall into her garden. I saw her on the ground bleeding with the knife stuck in her head, behind her ear,” said Amnouy Limpanon, a neighbor.
“I pulled the knife out of her head and had other neighbors rush her to Thalang Hospital, but she died on the way.”
Thalang Police were notified of the fatal attack at about 1:30pm.
“When we arrived at the house in Soi Bang Neow Dam in Srisoonthorn, we found blood and a knife on the ground,” said Lt Chatree Chuwichian of the Thalang Police.
“Ms Nongluk’s brother told us that the victim was fairly wealthy and that her gold necklace and bracelet had gone missing,” Lt Chatree said. “However, we aren’t jumping to any conclusions about the motive for the fatal attack. At this point we are questioning residents, as well as collecting fingerprints and other evidence.”
