Police Identify Suspects in Durian Attack on 48-Year-Old Woman During Morning Run at Provincial Hall
Two men attacked a 48-year-old woman with a durian rind at Chachoengsao Provincial Hall's exercise track; police have identified suspects and expect arrests soon.
A violent assault occurred at the exercise track in front of Chachoengsao Provincial Hall when Ms. A, 48, was attacked by two men who struck her face forcefully with a durian rind before assaulting her body. Other exercisers at the facility intervened to help, causing the attackers to abandon the durian and flee on a motorcycle. Deputy Police Region Commander Somchai Ayu-sawat revealed on May 19 that investigators are reviewing closed-circuit camera footage along the escape route and have preliminary information about the perpetrators, with arrests expected soon. Police believe the motive was personal dispute rather than robbery or extortion, since no property was stolen and the targeted nature of the attack suggests deliberate harm. The incident has not deterred local exercisers from using the well-lit facility, with many viewing it as an isolated personal matter.
