Cops finally caught a suspect in a Songkran stabbing attack in Phuket, six years after he allegedly dedicated his crime.
The suspect, 33 12 months previous Jirapong, allegedly stabbed and critically injured one other man throughout Songkran in 2017, in the central Prachin Buri province.
Jirapong had reportedly been celebrating and consuming alcohol together with his associates before he and a teenager got into an argument. During the argument, 10 associates of the opposite get together got here and attacked Jirapong, hitting him within the face with a glass. Jirapong then stabbed the sufferer twice before speeding away, The Phuket Express reported.
It stays unclear why it took six years for Jirapong to be tracked down and arrested, and the CIB did not provide a direct rationalization for this.
Sometimes, acts of violence occur during Thailand’s Songkran competition.
