A man was stabbed to death during an attack by a group of more than 20 men at a housing estate in Bangkok’s Bang Bon area in the early hours of Tuesday.
Khomkrit Sae Lor, 29, was found lying dead with three stab wounds to his left arm, right rib and right leg near the entrance of Building 3 at Bang Bon housing estate when police arrived at the scene, said Pol Capt Jakkree Deejai, deputy investigation chief at Tha Kham police station. The incident was reported at 3am.
Wannee, 24, the victim's girlfriend, told police that Khomkrit was drinking with friends in front of the building at around 2am when a group of more than 20 young men, armed with knives, approached and verbally harrassed him. Khomkrit fled to his room on the fourth floor of the building, and the assailants followed, trying unsuccessfuly to break down the door, Thai media reported on Tuesday.
After the gang left, Khomkrit emerged from his room and rode his motorcycle to pick up his girlfriend nearby.
As soon as they returned to the housing estate, she said, the men set upon him with knives. She did not know what motivated the attackers to take her boyfriend's life.
Pol Capt Chakkree said police have identified some of the attackers and were hunting them down.
