Midday Bloodshed on Bangkok’s Streets
Bangkok is left reeling after a brutal stabbing in Din Daeng. It’s just after midday on October 2, 2025, when police receive an urgent call.
Officers race to Prachasongkroh Road, near Soi Prachasongkroh 21. There, they find 51-year-old Saneh lying on the pavement, bleeding heavily from deep stab wounds.
Paramedics rush him to Rajavithi Hospital. But it’s too late. Saneh dies from two savage wounds to his left side.
Police Chiefs Take Personal Charge
The shocking attack grabs the attention of Thailand’s top police. Police General Kittirat Phanphet, head of the Royal Thai Police, steps in to oversee the case.
He’s joined by Metropolitan Police Chief Lieutenant General Siam Boonsom. The pressure is on for answers.
In a dramatic twist, Police Major General Warasak Pisitbannakorn—just one day into his new role as Division 1 Commander—orders an urgent investigation. “We must act swiftly,” he insists.
Suspect Caught Within Hours
Detectives waste no time. By evening, they track down the suspect, a 50-year-old known locally as ‘Pui Huai Khwang.’
He’s arrested under warrant 5800/2568 from the Criminal Court and taken to Din Daeng police station for questioning.
During interrogation, the suspect confesses. He claims Saneh mocked him for being poor. The row spirals out of control—until he lashes out with a knife.
Poverty and Pride: Deadly Mix in the City
This killing shines a harsh light on Bangkok’s simmering social tensions. A simple argument over money turns lethal.
Police say the case will go to court. The accused faces a murder charge—and the prospect of life behind bars if convicted.
What Happens Next?
The suspect remains in custody as prosecutors prepare the case. A high-profile trial is expected in the coming weeks.
Will justice be served—or will the city see more blood spilled over pride and poverty? The eyes of Bangkok are watching.
