Man storms into neighbour's house and stabs five children to death after 'becoming irritated by the noise'

A man walked into his neighbour's house and stabbed five children to death with a 19-inch kitchen knife because he was annoyed by the noise, police said. A heavily pregnant woman - who was looking after the children - survived but sustained severe stab wounds to her face during the attack in northern Thailand. The suspect, a 24-year-old man with a history of mental illness, had recently been released from a local psychiatric hospital and was staying with his family. The tragedy happened in a village near the northern Thai city of Chiang Mai.Credit: Google Maps Police said he stormed into the house in a village near the city of Chiang Mai after becoming irritated by the noise of the children playing.
