One suspect, aged 20, was arrested in Bangkok, before the remaining five were tracked down and taken to Samrong Nuea Police Station for questioning. 
According to testimony, one of the suspects saw his former girlfriend with another group of Myanmar men and he teased the girl saying he missed her. This prompted the girl’s friends to walk out of the mall, but her former boyfriend’s group followed them. Later a quarrel broke out and a member of the ex-boyfriend’s group stuck a knife in one of the men in the other group.
