Neighbor Fatally Stabs Another Over Money Dispute in Buriram
A 46‑year‑old man fatally stabbed his 52‑year‑old neighbor in the liver during a renewed fight over an unpaid debt in Buriram Province. The attack followed a drinking session and an earlier brawl on October 9, and the victim died later at hospital. Police have detained the assailant for investigation.
A younger man demanded money from his older friend, sparking an argument that turned into a chaotic fistfight. The older man later went to apologize, but the conversation broke down and they fought again. Seizing the moment, the younger man grabbed a knife and stabbed the older man once in the abdomen, inflicting severe injuries. He was rushed to Nang Rong Hospital, where he later died from liver damage. On October 11, 2026, the Siam Ruam Jai Pu In Rescue Unit brought the body of 52‑year‑old Aram (surname withheld) from the hospital to his home in Buriram Province, upsetting locals because both Aram and the 46‑year‑old perpetrator, Wichian (surname withheld), were neighbors. According to witnesses, the two had been drinking together at Aram’s house on October 9 when Wichian borrowed Aram’s wife’s phone to listen to music. After returning the phone about an hour later, a drunken Aram confronted Wichian about an unpaid loan, leading to the dispute that exploded into violence. Police have since taken Wichian into custody for legal proceedings.
