On October 28, 2026, Pol Lt Col Jen Narong Arunrong, an investigator at Lat Krabang Police Station, disclosed that at 8:00 PM on October 27, police were alerted to a Chinese man killed at a worker camp in Khlong Song Ton Nun, Lat Krabang, Bangkok. Officers, along with rescue workers, forensic staff, police hospital doctors, and Por Tek Tung Foundation volunteers, arrived at the construction site camp, which was enclosed by corrugated iron sheets. Inside the worker resting area, they found the body of Mr. Yang, 39, a Chinese national, lying face up with labored breathing, wearing a black T-shirt and black shorts. He had severe head and facial injuries from a blunt object, bleeding from the mouth and nose, and was unconscious. CPR was attempted but failed, and he was pronounced dead shortly after.
Another victim, Mr. He, 49, also Chinese, suffered a head injury and a single stab wound to the back. He was rushed to Sirinthorn Hospital. A 60-centimeter crowbar, believed to be the murder weapon, was found at the scene.
A search of the deceased's bag revealed a folding knife, cash, blood-stained 100-baht notes, and one 1,000-baht note inside a salary envelope, all collected as evidence.
Preliminary interviews with workers at the camp indicated that around 6:30 PM, Mr. Yang and Mr. He, who were friends, had arrived to pay monthly wages to nearly 60 Myanmar workers. Before the attack, Mr. Yang had harshly criticized four Myanmar workers — two men and two women, all married couples — for poor work quality. Enraged, the four attacked Mr. Yang. The men struck him with a crowbar before stabbing him with a knife. The motive appeared to stem from the couples wanting to quit without giving advance notice, leading Mr. Yang to withhold their pay.
Other workers did not intervene, partly because some lacked passports and were in the process of applying for them. When the violence erupted, everyone scattered and fled. The suspects took 40,000 to 50,000 baht from Mr. Yang before escaping. Lat Krabang police investigators are now tracking the Myanmar suspects for prosecution.
