“Who killed my dad?” Hammer wielding druggie trashes 7-Eleven – then goes after locals

Police were called to a 7-Eleven store in Samut Sakhon after a man seemingly high on drugs trashed the store with a hammer. 

Staffers were in a state of shock at the Ban Phaew market branch – no one had dared intervene. 

The man, aged about 40, was shouting: “Why did you break into my room” and “who killed my dad?”

Nearby at the entrance to a temple they found Suchate Jiamchawee who was chasing locals with the hammer.

He was arrested and put in the cells to calm down. He had just got out of prison on April 15th after being sentenced for drug offences. 

Soon Kiatsak Sumno, 23, and his girlfriend arrived at the Ban Phaew police station to report that Suchate had chased them on a motorcycle shouting: “So you’re the one who killed my dad”.

He had stopped them and demanded to see Kiatsak’s license before taking a swing at his head with a hammer. Luckily he avoided that and it just glanced off his arm. 

His girlfriend was also assaulted. 

Investigations continue.
