Phuket man, 20, dies after losing vicious duel
Darawan Naknakhon

PHUKET: -- A young man died bleeding on the roadside in Samkong in the early hours yesterday (July 20) when he lost a duel with an enemy.

Police later arrested an 18-year-old who lives close by. Because of his age they gave his name only as Chai.

Chai said that he had had a long-standing problem with the brother of the Noprit Chareurit, 20, the dead man.

He told police he called Noprit to see whether some solution could be reached. Noprit arrived and when Chai approached, punched him in the face.

Chai said he defended himself with his knife, slashing at Noprit and cutting the brachial artery in Noprit’s right arm.

Noprit ran away bleeding heavily towards Samkong Market, but only got about 200 meters before the loss of blood made him collapse. He died on the roadside.

He 'defended' himself with his knife did he?

I'm sorry, but since when has a knife been for defence?.. If you ask me, a knife is for attack to inflict lethal wounds.

What the...? If you're attacked, you defend yourself. He didn't attack, according to the story. He was on defense.

Remember something before you attack someone. He may have the ability to take you out.

At least no one lost face.

He didn't attack, according to his story. And you carry a knife on you when you meet someone to sort out your problems?

I guess it's easy to sound like the easy going peacemaking victim when the guy you went to meet and just stabbed to death isn't here to tell his side of the story. Murderer, plain and simple.

I call to ban all knives! If it were not for the knife he had the young man would be alive today.

Young people have forgotten how to settle disputes....killing is not a option! RIP

What are you going to butter bread with? Your toes?

[slipperylobster 6,443]

You might believe his story...about defending himself by stabbing with a deadly weapon.

I would rather listen to some witness, before being absolutely sure he was just defending himself.

A knife is a deadly weapon, a punch is usually not (Unless the opposition is a professional Martial Arts type.)

running 200 meters with a slashed artery, didn't he do well

[inzman 2,479]

Have you ever seen a Thai man admit fault. Of course he was only trying to patch things up. Good lad that he is. Shows up with a knife, the dead guy probably ran into the knife by accident.

A knife is a deadly weapon, a punch is usually not (Unless the opposition is a professional Martial Arts type.)

"King hit" or cowardly single punches are the norm on the streets of Australia.

[CraigSchuler 333]

Pretty poor example of a "duel".

Apparently it is an option, just open a news paper any day of the week
