Burmese woman stabbed in Nakhon Pathom domestic row
In the tranquil province of Nakhon Pathom, a domestic dispute took a devastating turn, resulting in a Burmese woman critically injured after being stabbed. The incident, which unfolded in the early morning hours, has sent shockwaves through the community, shedding light on the dangers of escalating conflicts within relationships.
The Scene of the Incident
Amidst the workers’ quarters of a company in Bang Len district, Nakhon Pathom province, a heated argument erupted between a man identified as Yein and his girlfriend’s brother. The tumultuous exchange of words quickly escalated into physical confrontation, setting the stage for a tragic chain of events.
Lintun’s Intervention
In a desperate attempt to diffuse the escalating tension, Lintun, Yein’s 25-year-old girlfriend, bravely intervened in the altercation. However, her courageous act of mediation tragically backfired when she became the unintended victim of a violent stabbing, suffering a severe wound to her chest from a seven-inch knife.
The gravity of the situation became apparent when Bang Len Hospital alerted the authorities about Lintun’s critical condition. Unable to provide a statement due to her injuries, Lintun’s plight prompted an immediate response from law enforcement. Led by Deputy Inspector Uthis Lao Ha of Bang Len Police Station, the police arrived at the scene, where they discovered damning evidence of the violent encounter.
Complex Dynamics Unveiled
As investigators delved into the circumstances surrounding the altercation, a complex tapestry of jealousy and anger began to emerge. Yein, Lintun’s boyfriend, found himself embroiled in a volatile dispute with her brother, driven by simmering resentment over alleged infidelity that had strained relations with Lintun’s family. The tragic turn of events underscored the precarious nature of relationships strained by suspicion and distrust.
Following the incident, Yein fled the scene, prompting a frantic manhunt by law enforcement. However, his flight from justice was short-lived as he was apprehended by police shortly thereafter. In a chilling revelation, Yein admitted to the stabbing but maintained that it was a tragic mistake, devoid of any intent to cause harm. Despite his claims, he now faces grave charges of attempted murder as the investigation unfolds.
Community Response and Support
The harrowing ordeal has reverberated throughout the local community, prompting an outpouring of sympathy and support for Lintun and her family. As they grapple with the aftermath of this senseless act of violence, neighbors and friends have rallied together, offering words of comfort and gestures of solidarity in their time of need.
As the wheels of justice begin to turn, there is a palpable sense of urgency in the quest for accountability and closure. The community demands swift and decisive action to ensure that those responsible for perpetrating such heinous acts are brought to justice. Simultaneously, efforts to support Lintun on her road to recovery and provide assistance to her family in their time of need are underway, embodying the collective spirit of compassion and resilience in the face of adversity.
The tragic stabbing of Lintun serves as a sobering reminder of the fragility of human relationships and the destructive potential of unchecked emotions. As the community grapples with the aftermath of this senseless act of violence, there is a collective determination to seek justice and healing for all those affected. In the pursuit of a brighter future, built upon foundations of empathy and understanding, may Lintun’s ordeal serve as a catalyst for positive change, fostering a society where love triumphs over hate and compassion prevails in the face of adversity.

Upon arrival, responders discovered a white, four-door Mazda pickup truck with a Surin registration overturned and severely damaged from colliding with a large roadside tree. Inside the vehicle, four injured individuals were trapped.
Rescue teams quickly extracted three injured and provided initial medical assistance before transferring them to a hospital.
However, a 50-year-old woman from the Na Pang subdistrict, Phu Phiang district, Nan province, who was seated in the back, sustained critical injuries and succumbed to them before she could be freed from the wreckage.
Initial investigations revealed that the group had traveled from Chiang Mai to Nakhon Pathom.
The accident occurred on a curved section of the road, worsened by wet and slippery conditions from the rain.
The vehicle lost control and crashed violently into the tree.
After extracting and treating the injured, the deceased’s body was transported to the hospital for further examination.
Police have launched a formal investigation into the accident. They are gathering evidence and statements from the injured to understand the exact circumstances leading to the crash.
The results of the investigation will guide necessary legal proceedings, reported KhaoSod.
Authorities advised.
“We urge all drivers to exercise extreme caution, especially in bad weather and on curved roads.”
Police apprehended a member of a violent debt collection gang linked to the assault of a 73-year-old woman following a tip-off. He was caught while attempting to flee from a motel on the outskirts of Bangkok.
High-ranking police officials, including Thiti Sangsawang, Noppasin Poolsawat, and Thiradech Thamsuthee, along with a team of investigators, successfully arrested Kritchit, also known as 33-year-old Chit Thasala, from Nakhon Si Thammarat Province today, July 30.
He is one of the three members of the gang responsible for violent debt collection activities, including physical assault, intimidation, kicking doors, cutting off electricity, and locking debtors inside their homes.
The Min Buri Criminal Court issued an arrest warrant for Kritchit on July 23 for operating an unauthorized personal loan business, charging excessive interest, and threatening debt collection practices.

He was apprehended at a hotel in the Saphan Sung district as he tried to escape in his car. During interrogation, Kritchit denied all charges, stating he had only completed Grade 9 and initially worked as a fruit farmer in Phuket’s Thalang District. In 2022, he sold his orchard land and used the proceeds to start a money-lending business.
He collaborated with two other suspects, Ta and Khet, who are still at large, to lend money in the Min Buri, Ram Inthra, Rom Klao, and On Nut areas.
They charged an interest rate of 20% daily, with borrowers typically taking out 5,000 to 6,000 baht loans. Kritchit claimed that Ta and Khet were responsible for using violence against the debtors on the day of the incident.
“I only worked with Ta and Khet to lend money. They were the ones who used violence.”
However, police remain skeptical of his testimony. Investigations revealed that Kritchit is romantically involved with the younger sister of Kenwit, another gang member who was previously arrested for assaulting the older woman.
Kenwit’s gang had attacked the 73-year-old in the Chokchai area. After receiving a tip-off, Kritchit fled to the hotel, where he was captured.
Police have transferred Kritchit to the Min Buri Police Station for further legal proceedings. His capture is a significant breakthrough in the ongoing crackdown against violent debt collection gangs operating in Bangkok and nearby areas.
As one of the lead investigators remarked, we are committed to cracking down on these illegal activities and ensuring the safety of our citizens.
Kritchit’s case will proceed through the legal system, and police are continuing their search for the remaining gang members, Ta and Khet. The investigation remains ongoing, with police hopeful that further arrests will follow, dismantling the entire network of violent debt collectors, reported Khaosod.
A Thai grilled squid vendor turned himself in and expressed remorse after allegedly striking a Pattaya city official who requested him to move his sidecar motorcycle from obstructing traffic.
The vendor, however, denied the physical assault, citing stress from poor sales as the trigger for the incident. He claimed their encounter was limited to a verbal disagreement and a shirt tug.
Pattaya police yesterday, July 29, invited Siwachett Nakham, a 42-year-old former temporary employee at the government’s Public Works Department and a current grilled squid vendor, to meet with an investigator to address the dispute.

The altercation involved Siwachett and a 40-year-old Pattaya city official, Udon Woranam, who had requested Siwachett to move his vehicle, blocking traffic near Jomtien Beach in front of the Dongtan Police Box. Siwachett was accused of punching Udon after the latter politely asked him to move his motorcycle. Siwachett, who acknowledged being the person in the video, denied the physical assault, maintaining that he only had a verbal confrontation with Udon and tugged his shirt.
He cited stress from poor sales and financial burdens as the reasons behind his behavior.
“I did not intend to harm Mr Udon because I had worked with the Public Works Department before, so I knew hitting an official was a bad idea.”
Siwachett apologized for his actions, and Udon said he did not wish to pursue the matter further. Despite this, Pattaya City insisted on taking legal action against the vendor to set a precedent and deter similar future incidents.
Selling goods
Additionally, Udon advised other vendors to remain calm, control their emotions, and adhere to the designated areas for selling their goods according to the law.
Following resolving this dispute, traffic police officers from Pattaya Police Station raided vendors illegally selling goods on public sidewalks and roads around Pattaya. This operation was in response to tourists’ complaints about obstructions and hazards caused by unorganized vendors.
When authorities arrived near Pattaya Police Station’s Dong Tan substation, they encountered heavy traffic congestion caused by street vendors parking on the road. Some vendors attempted to evade arrest by speeding through the officers’ blockade, putting the safety of officers and nearby individuals at risk.
Thai police managed to apprehend 12 vendors, who will now face legal proceedings for violating traffic and cleanliness laws. The police also announced plans to increase daily inspections in collaboration with municipal officials to restore public spaces for residents and tourists, reported the Pattaya News.
