PATTAYA, Thailand – Authorities in Sattahip, just a 20-minute drive south of Pattaya, successfully pressured and negotiated the surrender of a Thai woman suspected of stabbing a Polish tourist during a dispute while walking dogs near Khao Chi Chan School in Bang Saray on the evening of April 10.
The victim, identified as Mr. Michal Boleslaw Melniczuk, 54, sustained a serious chest injury in the incident. He was rushed to Queen Sirikit Naval Hospital, where officials later confirmed he is now out of life-threatening condition.
Police, district officials, and local administrative units launched a coordinated operation later that night, surrounding a residence near the scene. After sustained negotiations, the suspect, identified as Jindaporn Field, 51, voluntarily surrendered to authorities.
According to initial statements, the confrontation began when both parties were walking their dogs and an argument broke out after the animals came into contact and tensions escalated. The suspect claimed the situation intensified when the victim allegedly attempted to assault her elderly foreign husband, prompting her to use a knife in self-defense before returning home.
Authorities have taken the suspect to reenact the scene as part of the investigation before transferring her to Sattahip Police Station for formal charges and further legal proceedings.
Police say the case remains under investigation as officers gather additional evidence and statements to determine the full sequence of events.
