From the initial investigation, it was found that Mr. Narongsak often had arguments with his older sister, Ms. Khemthip, because he was suspicious and afraid that his sister would inherit all the property from her parents. Before the incident, Mr. Narongsak and Ms. Khemthip argued about the same old thing again before Mr. Narongsak used a knife to stab his older sister until she was injured. Mr. Nikhom heard his wife’s cries for help and ran over, causing Mr. Narongsak to stab her in the chest until the knife handle fell to the ground. Mr. Narongsak then went to get a stick and brutally beat her until Mr. Nikhom, his brother-in-law, died.
