A 60-year-old man was arrested for fatally stabbing a younger man near a Bangkok condominium, claiming he acted in self-defense after being kicked in the face during an unprovoked confrontation.
A 60-year-old man identified as Mr. Charoen has been arrested by Bangkhae Police for fatally stabbing Mr. Sai, approximately 40 years old, near Baan Suan Bangkhae condominium on Phaholyothin Road 48 on May 5 at 8 p.m. A 20-centimeter pointed knife was seized as evidence.
During interrogation, Mr. Charoen claimed he was eating when the victim approached and verbally abused him without prior conflict between them.
