Ms. Ta, the victim's sister, said her brother was unmarried and went out to work to help support their mother. She did not know of any personal disputes but learned from his coworkers that a woman had called him before he was stabbed by the assailant. She expressed shock at the brutality, noting nearly 20 stab wounds, and urged police to quickly arrest the perpetrator and bring them to justice.
Recently, Police Colonel Phiphop Naputra, Chief of Bang Pa-in Police Station, said the investigation team immediately began reviewing CCTV footage around the area after the report.
