Pattaya police are hunting a Swedish expat for allegedly stabbing his partner in a fit of jealousy.
The unidentified foreigner disappeared after the Aug. 16 fight with two Thai men in his View Talay 2 condominium in Jomtien Beach.
“Wijit”, 49, suffered two stab wounds to the chest. Another Thai man, identified as “Lek”, 41, had a bloody head injury. They were treated at Pattaya City Hospital.
Police recovered a bloody paring knife at the scene, which was a shambles with appliances scattered around the apartment.
Lek told police had come to see his friend Wijit and were sitting in the living room when the 60-year-old Swede entered and accused them of having an affair. The two men denied any liaison, but, according to Lek, the Swedish man took a knife and stabbed his boyfriend, Wijit.
