That's his Facebook page.

I live nearby and I'm disgusted by it.

not at all confused if this had been farang on Thai this would have been blown up everywhere and giving the defence that this happens in the villages all the time with drunk Thais dosent excuse it either when one of the top police comes out on tv and says Thais are not capable of violent acts but these acts are covered up its down right propoganda

Hi, this is my dear friend Brandon that was stabbed. The media here in the US is not reporting this. The family doesn’t want the attention. I have tried to read the article and I can not get it to translate. I do however have a question. I see other comments saying father in-law? Where is that coming from? We were told a man in his 40’s was drunk and stabbed Brandon. Now I am confused.

@ Palmer1011 So sorry for your loss. This was a young man with most of this life ahead of him.

Word around the village is:

It was the girl's uncle who stabbed him. I know that conflicts with the article but Thais aren't known for their accuracy.

Some say he was a glue sniffer or alcoholic or both. I make no claims (as I don't know first hand) but just reporting what I've heard.
