Phuket: Construction worker slits man’s throat in motorbike dispute
A construction site in Phuket turned into a bloodbath this morning, January 29, when a heated argument over a motorbike accident ended in cold-blooded murder.
Police were called to a construction site in Soi Phu Yai Din, Village 4, Srisoonthorn, just before 8.30am, where they found 28 year old Ka Aye lying lifeless on a steel cutting machine, his throat brutally slit. The deep wound on the right side of his neck left no chance of survival. Clutching a red lighter in his hand, he had no time to defend himself.
The perpetrator was found to be a fellow Myanmar worker, 35 year old Myo Nyein, who was arrested at the scene.
Police investigations revealed that the two had been locked in a long-running feud, stemming from a previous motorbike collision. The bad blood boiled over this morning as they were clocking in for work, escalating into a vicious confrontation. In a fit of rage, Myo pulled out a knife and slit his rival’s throat, leaving him to bleed out on-site.
Ka Aye’s body has been sent to Vachira Phuket Hospital for an autopsy, while Myo is now in police custody at Thalang Police Station, facing murder charges, reported The Phuket News.

In other news, Thai police arrested the gunman responsible for the assassination of a former Cambodian-French opposition Member of Parliament in Cambodia‘s Phra Tabon Province. Another suspect, a Cambodian, who is believed to have stalked the victim from Cambodia to Bangkok, remains at large.
The 73 year old Cambodian-French politician, Lim Kimya, arrived in Bangkok by a coach bus from Cambodia shortly before the Thai gunman, Ekkaluck “Em” Paenoi, fatally shot him on a traffic island near the Bowonniwet Vihara Temple.
