The incident occurred at a hotel in central Pattaya, where police found two transgender women in the lobby and the injured 61-year-old victim, identified as Yuzuki, in a room with a severe cut to his right wrist. He received first aid at the scene before being transported to Pattaya Bhattamakun Hospital for further treatment.
Suspect’s Account
According to police reports, the altercation began after 27-year-old Suthat, one of the transgender individuals, met Yuzuki outside Baywalk Residence on Pattaya Beach Road and was invited to his room. Suthat claimed that Yuzuki attempted to assault her, leading her to call a friend for assistance when no one responded to her cries for help.
In response to the alleged attack, Suthat stated she used scissors to stab Yuzuki in self-defense. She reported that her friend arrived shortly after the stabbing, which triggered Yuzuki to release her. Suthat emphasized that her friend was not involved in the assault.
Victim’s Account
Conversely, Yuzuki accused the two transgender individuals of attacking him and stealing 5,000 baht from his possession. The conflicting accounts have created a complex investigative challenge for local police.
