Son, 25, Fatally Stabs Mother in Garden, Arrested at Scene
A 25-year-old man in Kalasin Province stabbed his 70-year-old mother to death in their garden following a heated argument, and was arrested at the scene with the weapon.
At approximately 3:30 p.m. on August 14, Sahaskan Police Station in Kalasin Province received a report of a fatal assault in the backyard of a residential property. Deputy Police Captain Chakrapan Wichitwaisutha, commanding officer of Sahaskan Police Station, led officers to the scene along with a duty physician from Sahaskan Hospital, forensic investigators, and local rescue units.
At the scene in the garden, officers found the body of a 70-year-old woman identified as Boonlam lying dead in the middle of the garden. She had suffered a severe laceration to the neck from a serrated knife wound. Signs of struggle and blood were scattered throughout the area.
Authorities detained the perpetrator, identified as 25-year-old Chanon, the victim's biological son, who was found with a 60-centimeter serrated knife. Initial investigation revealed that the two lived together. Before the incident, they had engaged in a severe verbal altercation. The son then apparently lost control and stabbed his mother in the neck with the knife, causing her death.
From questioning neighbors, police learned that the suspect has mental health issues and a history of drug-related behavior. Investigators are currently gathering evidence and medical documents to support the case file. The suspect is being held for questioning and will face legal proceedings.
