Bangkok News reported that a Muay Thai official was assaulted outside of Lumpinee Boxing Stadium by two armed men on Friday. A security guard was shot and killed by the assailants after he tried to intervene.
That outlet stated that Udom Deekrachang, 59, was standing outside the entrance of Lumpinee - on Ram Intra Road - at around 1pm when the initial attack occurred. Bangkok News further stated that Udom was due to judge a fight at Lumpinee that day. The Nation, an English-language Thai news outlet, differed from Bangkok News in stating that Udom was scheduled to referee that day.
