In a harrowing incident in Thailand, a dispute over a parking space took a fatal turn, leading to the brutal murder of a couple by their frustrated neighbor.
The victims, Michael Nixon and his partner Anurak, had just wrapped up a gathering with friends at their home when the horrifying events unfolded on Thursday, December 14.
The alleged assailant, Kachornsak Panyadee, reportedly became increasingly agitated with the couple’s guests obstructing the entrance to his house. Seizing an opportunity, Panyadee patiently waited until the visitors departed before entering the victims’ residence armed with a knife.
According to a Mail Online report, the assailant first attacked Anurak as she answered the door and then directed his violence towards Michael, who rushed to assist his terrified partner. Local Police Lieutenant Colonel Chaiwanich Khamlamool reported receiving a distressing call about the stabbing and promptly responded to the scene, where Panyadee surrendered.
Details from the police investigation revealed that Michael suffered two stab wounds to the chest and another to his torso, while Anurak was stabbed in the abdomen.
Anurak’s 18-year-old daughter, Parichat Longsokchueak, shared that her mother had frequently quarreled with the neighbor, particularly over parking issues.
“I don’t live with my parents, but I know my mom often argued with the neighbor regarding the parking. The perpetrator may have been dissatisfied with my family for blocking the parking space. My mother also tends to speak loudly, so that may also be a reason for his actions,” Parichat revealed.
Police Panyadee and the couple had regular arguments about the parking area, according to preliminary investigations conducted by Colonel Preecha Kengsarikij, deputy commander of the Khon Kaen Provincial Police.
In relation to this tragic incident, Panyadee is scheduled to face murder charges after she admitted to stabbing the husband and wife.
