Reader Briefing

A domestic dispute over housing registration escalated violently, leading an ex-soldier to stab his former border patrol policeman father, resulting in serious injuries.

  • •An ex-soldier, 40-year-old Kanitsorn, is accused of severely injuring his father, 66-year-old former Border Patrol Police officer R.O.P. Jeerasak, by stabbing him.
  • •The incident occurred on May 21, 2026, at a house in Khao Chaison District, Phatthalung Province, following an argument about household registration.
  • •The son claims the argument turned physical, with his father attacking him first, and he acted in self-defense and anger.

Overview

  • •On May 21, 2026, at 11:00 AM, Kanitsorn was arrested at his house in Khao Chaison District, Phatthalung Province.

  • •R.O.P. Jeerasak was rushed to Khao Chaison Hospital and later transferred for further treatment, with his condition reported as safe.
