Police are seeking arrest warrants for nine former students of a rival institution implicated in the fatal stabbing of Pathumwan Institute of Technology student "Waravut."
The victim died shortly after a physical altercation with a group of about 10 youths in front of his college, prompting his family to demand justice.
This murder is linked to a decades-long, violent rivalry between the Pathumwan Institute of Technology and Rajamangala University of Technology Tawan-ok, Uthenthawai Campus, often resulting in injuries and deaths.
In response to safety concerns, the Rajamangala University of Technology Tawan-ok, Uthenthawai Campus, will close for two days, transitioning to online learning for its students.

Yesterday 15:20 Key points summarised by AI

Thailand's Prime Minister Anutin Charnvirakul initiated a nationwide crackdown on illegal Thai nominee shareholders in foreign-run businesses and land holdings to safeguard national interests.
The government will integrate efforts across all relevant agencies to target illicit foreign operations, forced sales of illegally acquired property, and high-risk land ownership schemes.
Key strategies include auditing suspect land and building holdings, establishing a long-term monitoring system, and cross-referencing data from various authorities to trace ultimate beneficial owners.
Prime Minister Anutin emphasized that no influential figures or corrupt officials are above the law, promising straightforward prosecution, asset seizures, and protection for enforcing officers.
Beyond land ownership, the integrated crackdown will also extend to tackle transnational crimes, including drug and human trafficking.
