A violent altercation erupted outside a bar in Cherng Talay, Thalang, in the early hours of May 11, leaving a French tourist critically injured after being stabbed multiple times.

Now for the update:

The Cherng Talay police told the Phuket Express that they analyzed security camera footage, which provided partial coverage of the incident, along with additional video clips from witnesses at the scene.

Through detailed comparisons of the footage and images, investigators confirmed the suspect as Emilio, a 35-year-old British national. His physical appearance closely matched the person recorded at the scene, and witness accounts further supported his involvement in the case.
