Krekwut Kaewsakdee one of the villagers and witnesses, stated the incidents took place at around 14.00. An employee at a car garage ran out asking for help after Tanom attacked someone inside. Krekwut lured Tanom to come his way as his 80 year old mother was inside the garage. He didn’t want her harmed and wanted him to come outside. Afterwards Tanom stabbed another villager. Krekwut notified the police to come help stop the man. The suspect continued running around holding a knife on the road after leaving the garage.
