Another stabbing attack happened in Thailand last week in the central province of Samut Prakan. A jealous man stabbed his ex-girlfriend’s new partner over 30 times, leaving him lying in a pool of blood at a busy market. The unconscious victim was given CPR at the scene and was rushed to Chularat 5 hospital, but didn’t survive the attack.
A vendor at the famous flea market in Bang Sao Thong district said lots of people saw what happened but no one dared intervene because the assailant stabbed the victim repeatedly. The victim’s elder sister told police that the attacker was the former lover of her brother’s girlfriend. She said the ex-boyfriend had attempted to reconcile their relationship, but had been rejected.
