Boonlua Chatree
A 70-year-old grandmother stabbed a 15-year-old she found breaking into
her grocery store.
The teenager suffered a 3cm stab wound to the head in the Feb. 24 incident
on Soi Tanman-Thunglom 13. He was given first aid and taken to Banglamung
Police Station.
Suri Suwannapat said she had closed the grocery in the front of her home and
gone to bed when she heard someone breaking in through the ventilation
system. The boy, she claimed, covered her mouth, but she fought back and
screamed for help.
Suri’s niece, Malini Greemla, 24, came from next door, but was unable to
fight off the larger boy. Suri said she then pulled out a knife she keeps
under her bed and stabbed the suspect.
Police suspect the teenager was under the influence of drugs. Officers said
the boy confessed to the break-in, claiming to need money to visit his
girlfriend in Bangkok.
