Must Try

Former American YouTube fitness idol Connor Murphy reportedly went berserk in the Pattaya area and allegedly struck his Thai girlfriend with a golf club, but later told skeptical Thai police it was for social media content and wasn’t a real assault or issue.
On May 1st, 2024, at around 2:06 PM, Huay Yai police were called to a house in the Garden Ville Village in the Huay Yai sub-district, Chonburi province, after receiving reports from neighbours of a foreign man behaving erratically and injuring a Thai woman.
Upon arrival, officers discovered that the man, later publicly identified by Huay Yai Police as 30-year-old American fitness YouTuber Connor Murphy, was in a state of frenzy. He was destroying property and shouting incoherently inside his townhouse, according to Huay Yai Police.
Officers entered the house and according to their reports discovered blood splattered on the walls and a blood-stained golf club on the floor. Murphy himself had sustained a laceration to his abdomen from broken glass.

Murphy’s 20-year-old Thai girlfriend, Ms. Kanitta (surname withheld by Huay Yai Police), was found with bruises and cuts from allegedly being hit with a golf club and scratched by broken glass. Her 16-year-old sister, name also withheld, had also sustained minor injuries from glass cuts. The two women told Huay Yai Police that they had managed to escape the house through a window before the police arrived.
Over 10 police officers surrounded the house, as Murphy had locked himself inside the bathroom. Friends and officers tried to coax him out which took nearly an hour, and once calm, he was eventually taken to a local hospital for treatment.
Ms. Kanitta told Huay Yai police that she had been asleep when she heard the sound of breaking glass and objects falling. She then found Murphy acting violently, shouting, and bleeding. Murphy then allegedly attacked her with a golf club, forcing her to flee to her sister’s room. Ms. Kanitta had no idea what triggered his outburst.
