On 27 June, police confirmed that 46-year-old Simon Peter Carman confessed after being confronted with CCTV footage showing him transporting the victim’s body in a suitcase before abandoning it beside a railway line approximately 4.2 kilometres from his condominium in Jomtien. The case follows the discovery of the body of 17-year-old Thanchanok, from Kalasin province, concealed inside a suitcase. According to investigators, the victim died inside the suspect’s 15th-floor condominium on Jomtien Second Road before her body was initially hidden in the bathroom. Carman then loaded the suitcase onto a motorcycle and disposed of it near the railway line before returning to his condominium, collecting his belongings and travelling to Suvarnabhumi Airport in an apparent attempt to leave Thailand. Police arrested him at the airport after tracking his movements through CCTV footage. During questioning, conducted in the presence of his lawyer and an interpreter, Carman admitted causing the teenager’s death but insisted he had not intended to kill her. He told investigators that at around 03.00 on 25 June he met the victim at Jomtien Beach and invited her to his rented condominium. He claimed that after receiving a telephone call, she said she could no longer stay with him, explaining that she was menstruating, and asked for 500 baht as compensation for wasted time. Carman alleged that she then demanded more money, leading to a heated argument. The suspect further claimed that the victim produced a knife and held it to his neck, resulting in a struggle. He said he restrained her by gripping her knife hand with his left hand while using his right hand to hold her by the neck until she became motionless. Realising she had died, he said he concealed the body in a suitcase, later disposing of it beside the railway line. He apologised to the victim’s family and maintained that his actions were solely in self-defence. Matichon reported that police initially secured an arrest warrant on charges of taking a minor aged under 18 from the care of her parents or guardian for indecent purposes. After further investigation and the collection of evidence, including fingerprinting, investigators formally charged Carman with murder, abducting a minor aged between 15 and 18 for indecent purposes, and concealing, moving or destroying a body. He was taken to Pattaya Provincial Court on 27 June and remanded in custody, while the investigation continues.

If he took her much further away this is another reason she'd want compensation, usually they don't go far because time is moneySat, 27 Jun 2026 08:59:47 +0000Exciting news for fans Listen to the Rolling Stones’ Song With Robert Smith | Pitchfork https://pitchfork.com/news/listen-to-the-rolling-stones-song-with-robert-smith-divine-intervention/Sat, 27 Jun 2026 08:59:46 +0000I love it. I love supportive evidence like this. Reminds me that Chinese girls need to be ultra careful who might be walking up behind them, in the dark.Sat, 27 Jun 2026 08:58:49 +0000Are you unable to read and comprehend? What I just described was and is reality. You are just coming over as a bully. I just told you about my security teams. That means that I managed people like yourself. So don't try to patronise me about reality. We just chose to do it that way because we have the skills to do so. If you only have the skills of a Neanderthal, then you might choose violence to make yourself feel better. But when you are lying in a hospital bed with your wife crying over you and your life ruined because you wanted to act the big man, would it all have been worth it? It seems people like yourself need to learn the hard way. What do you think we have been doing here the whole time? I guess you just aren't going to get it. You certainly would not have made the cut. You cannot control yourself.Sat, 27 Jun 2026 08:58:23 +0000Yes, quite normal, my UK bank sms go to one of my burner phonesSat, 27 Jun 2026 08:56:33 +0000My Guts are FINE, than you, Sir. But, I try not to let my GUTS do me thinking for me. Although, unfortunate to say, it now appears that our guts actually DO DO a percentage of our thinking for us. There seems to be new research which demonstrates the role of the GUT in cognition, if you can believe it....and I guess the data seems compelling. However, I refuse to debate with ANYONE the question of whether God exists, unless I can do so, TOTALLY using my GUTS, and not my brain. Also, I do think that Chinese who send their children to the USA for school, must we wary that they might run into Religious Zealots, or something. There are just TOO MANY in America, as we all know. Blind-Faith, and all that Guts Thinking, is not healthy. It might even give one a case of H.

What strikes me about his videos and why I posted this topic is the glaring disconnect between his philosophical messages and his actual delivery, especially when he tries to play it as if he is the worldly sage. He wants us to believe he has reached a state of serene, self-contained peace and enlightenment, but beneath the rhetoric of reclaiming his sanity, he sounds distinctly pissed off. It feels less like a detached, insightful philosophy on aging and more like the defensive posture of someone who has been burned or taken advantage of one too many times by friends, family, and society. He talks about being entirely comfortable in his isolated world with just his wife, but the aggressive, bunker mentality tone suggests otherwise. True indifference is quiet, whereas this feels like an angry reaction to a lifetime of bad emotional and relational investments.Sat, 27 Jun 2026 08:53:08 +0000I was told many years ago that it was to stop politicians getting the voters drunk to vote for them.Sat, 27 Jun 2026 08:52:36 +0000Should have taken a photo, but we had an elephant wandering around outside our rear garden just last week........I assume someone was hawking it around the villages for money.Sat, 27 Jun 2026 08:52:22 +0000Awesome evidence, Gamma! 😂Sat, 27 Jun 2026 08:50:31 +0000as opposed to who? https://en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Jagoda#:~:text=Jagoda%20is%20a%20gender%2Dneutral,%2C%20and%20Yagoda%20(Russian). shall we talk about how your user name is the initials of a serial rape murderer? thats quite disturbing your dad could have made the world a better place by following his own adviceSat, 27 Jun 2026 08:50:15 +0000Yes, I see where you are coming from, the Muslim population is increasing all the time in the UK.
