Police and rescue workers responded early Saturday to a domestic violence incident involving a Canadian family in Phuket. Authorities said neighbours reported unusual noises and a possible assault at a home on Sai Yuan 11 Road in Rawai, Mueang district.

Pol. Lt. Nattaphon Phumlueamkhit, an investigator at Chalong Police Station, said officers received the first notification at about 12:30 a.m. on Saturday, December 20. Consequently, patrol units rushed to the residence to investigate the reported assault.

Upon arrival, officers found a 6-year-old Canadian girl injured inside the home. In addition, a neighbor, identified only as a foreign national, reported he had taken the girl’s 13-year-old brother to Dibuk Hospital. He said the boy had sought help, claiming their mother had attacked him and his younger sister.

Meanwhile, police received a separate report from a Good Samaritan about a foreign woman behaving incoherently. The woman had self-inflicted abdominal injuries. Patrol officers detained her on the scene. Authorities later identified her as the 45-year-old Canadian mother of the children.

Officers inspected the residence and discovered sharp knives, which were believed to have been used in the incident. Furthermore, blood stains were present throughout the home, particularly in a downstairs bathroom. Police said the girl had hidden in that bathroom during the attack.

Rescue workers immediately provided first aid at the residence. Then, in coordination with the Khaimuk Centre, police transported both the girl and her mother to Chalong Hospital. Authorities confirmed that medical teams were monitoring their conditions. Further questioning will occur once both are stable.

Police said they are working with relevant agencies to provide assistance to the children. Moreover, officials confirmed that the father or other family members were not present at the time. No charges have been announced as the investigation continues.
