Australian Arrested at Bangkok Airport Over Pattaya Murder

In Pattaya, the guard may have had some suspicion if he turned up alone!

As others have said that happens all the time. Except this time it resulted allegedly in a murder. I think there will be a civil query to see if there was any negligence and if there was any documented security standards that were given a big meh.

Anger, I would imagine.

What sort of anger would a 17 year have given a middle aged Aussie.

Poor girl met a guy who has a mental illness, simple, the guy was a psycho

There are loads of guys here with anger issues. The least intelligent like to talk with their fists.

Agree, all those guys are psycho's.

She was underage

No, she wasn't - if you're referring to the age for sexual consent.

From the update posted by Georgealbert

Daily News reported that the Pattaya Provincial Court issued an arrest warrant, before the body was found, charging Mr Carman with abducting a minor under the age of 18 from the custody of her parents or guardian for indecent purposes.

It sure sounds like she was underage.

Hope this mongrel grub really suffers in jail. But i would imagine ,he will not live to long in jail.

But bizarre speculation by Asean Now posters does not do anything to assist the process of getting to the truth.

Why don’t you crop the photos, some of the more ghoulish posters on here will be visiting and doing selfies at the same table !!

I was a little excited I found this character, a little Saturday morn sleuthing and I watched the couple where he features, and he seriously seems 'not quite right' - so yeah, de institutionalisation, free and easy travel, probably an NDIS recipient (regular sickness payments). Sad. We should not be sending our retarded people to other countries. The pommy food looks ok tho. Hope this retards family pays the poor girls family all they have.

It was on the Australian news tonight. Apparently he is now stating it was self defence because she had a knife and trying to rob him plus he admits he accidentally killed her in a scuffle and also admits that he did put her body in the bag. This guy is scum.

She is a 17 year old and half this guys weight and height and this sh..t makes up a story, "it was self defence".

I hope he gets the death sentence in Thailand and a massive fine for the girls family back home where she most likely supported them. May she RIP.

UPDATE

Police report that the suspect claims she threatened him with a knife and demanded “compensation”.

Part of his statement to police, in his own words.

My theory is that this was an 'I am under 18' extortion attempt that turned violent. I have heard of cases where the woman becomes hysterical, destroys the room, and demands a large sum of money. Regardless, that gives him absolutely no excuse for killing her

What is the relevance of her being under 18 in the context of what's been reported here?

Also, what's with a tattooed 17yo working in the game? Did he know her age? Too dumb to check ID?

If he did know her age, i.e. over the age of consent, what is the issue?

I'm wondering if he's a bit simple, just the way he looks and the way he walks, it escalated out of control quickly, a simple person might struggle in that situation

Is that Jomtien beach road or Pattaya beach road? hard to tell. If he took her much further away this is another reason she'd want compensation, usually they don't go far because time is money

Australian Admits Killing Teen in Pattaya

Picture courtesy of Matichon

Australian man has admitted killing a 17-year-old Thai girl at his condominium in Pattaya, claiming he acted in self-defence during a dispute over money. 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.

This filthy, large creature claims his actions were in self defence, a 17yo Thai girl.

Poor girl, all we can hope for now is he is destroyed and the poor girls family receives compensation

This guy has the weakest lies. If it played out like he said, why did the poor girl have a bloodied and bruised face? It also sounds like he's trying to claim no boom boom happened, but then how did she end up naked? I also wanna know why he had a large suitcase when it looks like he only owns 3 singlets.
