Phan Thong District, Chonburi —
Three Burmese border-hoppers reportedly sneaked into Thailand for a second time to strike vengeance on a Chonburi vendor who they thought was complicit in their previous deportation.
The incident happened this morning, July 5, in the Nong Tamlueng subdistrict of Chonburi’s Phan Thong District. Nititham Rassamee Maneerat rescuers rushed to help the victim, Mr. Mau-ae (last name withheld), 39, who suffered two serious knife wounds to his right arm and neck. He was hospitalized at the Phan Thong Hospital for emergency care.
According to the victim’s son, Mr. Phuwadol (last name withheld), his dad was stabbed by a group of three Burmese men on two motorbikes. The suspects reportedly crashed into his dad, knocking him to the ground and stabbing him multiple times. The three suspects then hurriedly drove away on one motorbike after Mr. Phuwadol shouted for help, leaving a red/black Honda CBR 150 at the scene.
The reason for this frightening assault on Mr. Mau-ae (the victim) was that the three Burmese suspects had previously been deported from Thailand for illegal migration, according to Mr. Phuwadol. They then assumed that the victim snitched on them as the victim and they were business rivals.
Mrs. Rachada, the 39-year-old wife of the victim, also told the same story that the three suspects had been deported once and illegally re-entered the border to attack her husband.
As of press time, officers were reviewing CCTV footage and questioning witnesses to determine if there were any other causes for the incident and to track down the suspects. Officers were also partnering with Thai Immigration.
