Accident – Death – Obituary News :
A tragic incident unfolded in the Thalang district of Phuket last night, as a 15-year-old Thai boy stabbed his 60-year-old uncle to death in a rented room. The victim, identified as Somkiat Chanhom, succumbed to multiple stab wounds to his chest despite efforts by medical workers from Thalang Hospital.
Details of the Incident
The perpetrator, known as Yoi, suffers from attention deficit hyperactivity disorder (ADHD), which can lead to impulsive actions and difficulty in concentration. According to reports, Yoi and Somkiat, who lived together with six other family members, frequently engaged in arguments.
Yoi’s grandmother, Or, revealed that the argument escalated on the fateful night, with Yoi displaying more aggression than usual. He grabbed two knives and proceeded to Somkiat’s bedroom, where he carried out the fatal attack despite attempts by Or to intervene.
Family Dynamics and Tragic Outcome
Or described Somkiat as a father figure to Yoi, who had been caring for him despite expressing concerns about his behaviour, including idleness and phone addiction. Plans to take Yoi to the hospital due to escalating aggression were thwarted by the tragic incident.
Yoi now faces charges under Section 290 of the Criminal Law for causing the death of another person through attack. The prescribed penalty ranges from three to 15 years of imprisonment, with potential variations for individuals under the age of 20.
Conclusion
This heartbreaking incident serves as a stark reminder of the challenges faced by individuals with ADHD and the importance of early intervention and support. The repercussions of impulsive actions can have devastating consequences, highlighting the need for understanding and resources to address mental health issues within communities.
Authorities continue to investigate the case while offering support to the affected family members. Our thoughts are with all those impacted by this tragedy in Phuket.
