A 14-year-old in Thailand is charged with killing a schoolmate with a knife after a fight.

A 14-year-old in Thailand has been arrested for stabbing his 14-year-old Thai-Australian schoolmate to death after a fight outside a grocery store. The suspect, who had a mutual dislike with the victim, lost the initial fight but retrieved a cooking knife from his car and stabbed the victim in the back. He was released on bail after being charged with causing fatal harm and a weapons offense, facing up to 15 years in prison. Adolescent violence is common in Thailand, but fatal incidents usually involve older students in rival gangs.
