Perth teen Lucky Fazzalari identified as Australian allegedly stabbed to death in Thailand

An Australian teenager allegedly stabbed to death outside a grocery store in Thailand has been identified as Perth boy Lucky Fazzalari.

The 14-year-old was allegedly attacked by a schoolmate in the Sattahip district, about 180km south of Bangkok, on Tuesday evening.

His Australian father Tony Fazzalari said the family is “shocked” and “devastated”, describing Lucky as a “beautiful kid” who was loved by his parents and his sisters.

Lucky had lived in Perth’s northern suburbs with his dad and siblings for nine years.

He attended Clarkson Primary School and Clarkson Community High School until last year when he moved to Thailand to live with his mother, who is native to the country, to learn the local language and culture.

“He was going to an international private school over there. We never thought his life would be in danger - we were just shocked when we heard about this,” his sister Jessica Fazzalari said.

She described her brother as charismatic, caring and a naturally talented young athlete.

“He could do anything,” she said.

Lucky was allegedly stabbed in the back during a dispute with a schoolmate, before his attacker fled on a motorbike to a house 400m away.

Police say Lucky stumbled away from the fight and was soon dead.

The boy was found lying at the entrance to the store with the knife in his back and its broken handle on the ground, according to the Sawang Rojanatham Rescue Foundation, a charity organisation whose EMS workers rushed to the scene.

Lucky’s mother told the Bangkok Post she was shocked and saddened over her son’s death, and wanted answers about why he will never return home to her.

A 14-year-old boy and his parents were taken for questioning, with the young suspect reportedly telling authorities the teens had met up to clear the air before a quarrel turned violent.

The suspect told investigators he and the victim harboured a mutual dislike from school and they agreed via the Line messaging app to meet outside a grocery store near their homes, the local police chief said on Friday.

Police charged the suspect with causing fatal physical harm to another person and a weapons offence.

He was release on 10,000 baht ($A270) bail by the Chonburi Juvenile and Family Court.

Police said the maximum sentence under the charges is 15 years’ imprisonment, and that they are investigating the case further.

Adolescent violence is not rare in Thailand but fatal cases usually involve rival gangs of older students.

Tony Fazzalari said he hopes justice is delivered for his child.

The grieving father and Lucky’s two sisters are making the heartbreaking journey to Thailand on Friday to attend his funeral in the coming days.

The Department of Foreign Affairs and Trade said it is providing consular assistance to the family of an Australian who died in Thailand.

“We send our deepest condolences to the family at this difficult time,” a spokesperson said.
