On the 1st, Lieutenant Colonel Prakasit Paladet of the Huai Hai Police Station in Chonburi Province, Thailand, received a report of a foreigner injuring his girlfriend through assault.

Upon receiving the report, police were dispatched to the scene with rescue teams.

Murphy also sustained severe injuries from glass cuts on his abdomen. His 20-year-old girlfriend, Kanittha, had bruises and injuries all over her body after being beaten with a golf club by Murphy.

Her younger sister had minor cuts from glass and sought help from housekeepers and friends. The two sisters reportedly escaped through a window before the police arrived. When the police arrived, over ten soldiers were surrounding the house, and the man had locked himself in the bathroom. Sanook

According to Kanittha, she heard the sound of glass breaking and objects falling as she fell asleep. She then discovered her boyfriend bleeding and yelling incoherently and fled to her sister’s room after he attacked her with a golf club. Investigations revealed that the assailant had no history of drug use and was reported to have not intended harm but acted to create content, sparking controversy. However, authorities have detained the perpetrator and are treating his injuries before questioning and drug testing.
