Local arrested for attempted murder

Mr. Pornchai Chutrakul, 27, of Nonthaburi was arrested on December 8 for the attempted murder of Ms. Yuwadee Wangyenniyom, 33.
Pornchai had allegedly gone to Ms. Yuwadee’s room on December 5th and stabbed her repeatedly in an attempt to rob her. It wasn’t until Ms. Yuwadee called out for help that Pornchai stopped. Ms. Yuwadee, aka Noi, suffered stabs wounds to the right eye and arm.
After taking Pornchai’s description from the injured woman in the hospital, police were able to track down Pornchai at his job as a plumber at Pattaya Beach Inn. They brought him to the hospital where Ms. Yuwadee was able to make a positive identification.
Ms. Yuwadee told police that she couldn’t understand why he had done it, that she had been a friend of Pornchai’s, and that on several occasions the two had drunk alcohol together.
Police later searched Pornchai’s room and found a 12” saw, modified into a knife, that was used in the stabbing.
