On October 28, 2026, officers from Ban Tiew Police Station in Phetchabun province were alerted to a knife attack inside a house in Moo 9, Huai Rai subdistrict, Lom Sak district. They found the victim, 43-year-old Mongkol, with severe slash wounds to the face and head. He was rushed to hospital but later died. The attacker was identified as 21-year-old Peeraphat, the victim's nephew. Villagers detained him at the scene along with the knife used in the attack.
The victim's 70-year-old mother, Kongsun, explained that Mongkol was her middle child, while Peeraphat was the son of her eldest daughter. In the early hours of the morning, Peeraphat had asked her for money to buy methamphetamine. When she told him she had no money, Mongkol, who was present, insulted his nephew, saying his drug use had forced him into psychiatric treatment. This enraged Peeraphat, who shouted back, "Do you want to die?" He then grabbed a kitchen knife and slashed at his uncle's head. Mongkol picked up a garden hoe and struck back once in self-defense before trying to flee home. However, Peeraphat, described as being in a frenzied state, chased him down and stabbed him repeatedly until he collapsed. Relatives then arrived and restrained the attacker.
