Four Teenage Thugs Arrested for Stabbing Myanmar Worker to Death
Four teenagers, including a 19-year-old recently released from prison, have been arrested for fatally stabbing a 35-year-old Myanmar migrant worker near railroad tracks in Nakhon Ratchasima following a verbal dispute.
Four teenage thugs aged 13-19 have been arrested for the fatal stabbing of a Myanmar migrant worker near railroad tracks. The 19-year-old wielding the knife had been released from prison just one month before. On the evening of May 20, the body of 35-year-old Mr. Aung, a Myanmar worker, was discovered clutching his belongings with a critical stab wound to the chest. Authorities rushed him to Nakhon Ratchasima Hospital, but he died shortly after. On May 22, Lt. Col. Sirichai Srichaipanya, superintendent of Muang Nakhon Ratchasima Police Station, announced the arrest of four suspects along with a 14-centimeter pocket knife used in the attack. The suspects include: Pabangkorn "Win" Sayanet, 19, who confessed to wielding the knife; A (alias), 15, who kicked the victim and recorded video of the incident; B (alias), 15, who kicked and stomped the victim multiple times and owned the recording phone; and C (alias), 13, who struck the victim with a motorcycle helmet. Background checks revealed that Pabangkorn had two prior theft convictions and had been released from prison on April 3, 2569. The other three suspects had no criminal records and no outstanding arrest warrants. Preliminary investigation found that the attacker and victim were previously unacquainted but had a verbal altercation near the railroad tracks before the teenagers mobbed and stabbed him fatally. Charges of "joint assault resulting in death" have been filed and the case is proceeding through legal channels.
