Son stabs his father for forgetting to add fish sauce to pork soup

A son has stabbed his father for forgetting to add fish sauce to his favourite pork soup in Southern Tailand.

The father, Ngor Duanghakhon, 65 was making pork soup for lunch when his son, Sakdin Duangphakhon, 36, bought the fish.

Sakdin grew angry when his father told him he had forgot to add the fish sauce - a staple ingredient in Thai cooking.

The boy grabbed an empty bottle and hit him over the head before slapping his mother Pa, 66, when she intervened.

Sakdin picked up a knife and repeatedly stabbed his father when her mother ran to ask for help. Police arrived and found the son covered in blood calmly lounging in a hammock at the front of the single-storey home.

But the dad said it was not finished and not cooked yet."The son did not want to wait. Then he said he forgot the fish sauce and he became angry."The son, who has two brothers, had to kneel down, apologise and say a prayer next to his dead father when he returned to the scene.

Col. Nitipat Kitichartchai said the son admitted the murder and has been sent to Amphore Nangrong prison in Buriram to await sentencing.

"It was reported to us that the son had used a knife to stab the father at the home," he said. "I knew we would have to go to investigate the scene. It is a single storey house. The father was wearing a loin cloth without a shirt.
