Krabi maths teacher stabs school director to death after raise refusal

A maths teacher at a Krabi school has turned himself in after he fatally stabbed a school director.

Sophon Piyathamkhun ,54, was stabbed once in the right side of the chest with a ten inch knife after he refused to give the teacher an increase in salary and an argument broke out, reports Thairath.

Ao Nang police went to Krabi hospital Tuesday but the director was already dead. At the school they found a pool of blood next to classrooms.

On Tuesday afternoon the teacher Anan Wandarei, 41, turned himself into police at the Ao Nang station where he was interviewed by deputy sergeant Songphun Bunchai.

Anan brought along the ten inch knife that he had used in the murder.

He told investigators that he had frequently argued with the director about his work schedule. When he was told on Tuesday that his salary would not be increased he decided to stab the director.

After that he went home. When he found out the director had died he turned himself in to police, he said.
