The family of a 17-year-old Thai girl whose body was found in a suitcase in Pattaya said they were devastated by her death, for which an Australian man has been arrested and charged with murder.
Thai police said they arrested an Australian man in his 40s at Bangkok’s Suvarnabhumi airport early on Saturday in connection with the killing in Pattaya, about 150 km (93 miles) east of Bangkok.
The suspect, identified as Simon Peter Carman, faces charges of murder, concealment of a body, moving or destroying a body, and taking a minor for sexual purposes.
Thai police said they reviewed CCTV footage that showed Carman entering a condominium with the girl, then leaving alone hours later carrying a suitcase.

The guy must have watched Top of the Lake for tips, that involved putting a murdered Asian woman in a suitcase. Its also an Australian/ New Zealand production.

CCTV footage captured Ms Tunchanok and Mr Carman walking from the Pattaya beachfront, a well-known area frequented by sex workers, and entering the foyer of his accommodation together at approximately 3.30am on Thursday, June 26.

Several hours later, Mr Carman was allegedly seen on camera leaving the building alone with the large black suitcase, which he transported by motorbike.

Police allege he folded the teenager’s naked body into the 29-inch suitcase and dumped it in long grass beside the railway tracks, approximately 4.2 kilometres from the property, before attempting to leave the country.

Officers arrested him at Suvarnabhumi Airport minutes before his Jetstar flight JQ76 to Perth was scheduled to depart.

Investigators located the suitcase with Ms Tunchanok inside.

Along with her body, police found the white Onitsuka trainers she had been wearing that night, jeans, underwear, a mobile phone case, a wallet, and her gold bracelet and necklace.

Tattoos on her back, arms, chest and left leg were confirmed to match those in her social media images.

This type of thing must be pretty routine for police there if they caught it this quickly. :confused:

“The young girl did have an ID card that said she was 22, all of the girls here have ID cards that say they are older, because if they’re underage, you’re in trouble,” a source told the outlet.

“We used to call him simple, like ‘Simple Simon’ because he was a bit slow.

“He had quite a few run-ins with people. He was six foot one, he was a big guy, just look at the size of him compared with that young girl.”

I doubt he ran her ID against the official government db. Definitely a case of yellow fever though.
