Connor Murphy is a well-known fitness influencer, known for his content surrounding health, bodybuilding, and nutrition. The creator has a massive audience on YouTube, with over 2.4 million subscribers and over 418,000 followers on Instagram.

As per a report from Thai news website Thaiger, the creator was seen in a state of rage by his girlfriend, Kanittha, who was initially awoken by the sound of broken glass. The woman found Connor bleeding and acting hysterically, before he attacked her with the club, forcing her to hide in her sister's bedroom.

Connor's girlfriend and her younger sister eventually escaped through a window, with the girlfriend reportedly sustaining injuries from the club attack while the sister was hurt by broken glass. The pair then sought help from a maid via instant messaging, who subsequently called the Thai police.

Police eventually held Murphy and no formal charge has been levied against him yet, with the police supposedly waiting for his recovery before undertaking further investigation.
