simonphuket Posted August 5, 2021 Posted August 5, 2021 A lot of police present in the Ao Yon area right now. Seems like a sandbox Swiss tourist lady, travelling alone, was murdered either yesterday or this morning. Anybody has any news on this? 1
Popular Post 2long Posted August 5, 2021 Popular Post Posted August 5, 2021 When it's official news, the thread will be closed and possibly deleted so that the news team can have their own. Although I understand the concept, I don't really agree with it. 4 2

simonphuket Posted August 5, 2021 Author Posted August 5, 2021 Thanks Schlog. also link to dailynews.co.th. That area near the waterfall is not safe, often punks hanging around there.

Scott Posted August 5, 2021 Posted August 5, 2021 Baiting, bickering posts and replies reported and removed.
KhunBENQ Posted August 5, 2021 Posted August 5, 2021 I think the Dailynews is all wrong. The business card that they found is for a member of Swiss official (?) staff in French language (working for the parliament). Better wait for clarification.
zzzzz Posted August 5, 2021 Posted August 5, 2021 A murder investigation has been launched by police in Phuket after the body of a woman, believed to be French, was found naked from the waist down at Ton Aow Yon Waterfall today. It's believed she had been raped and dead for at least 3 days. https://www.khaosod.co.th/around-thailand/news_6548696 more info on link
sallecc Posted August 5, 2021 Posted August 5, 2021 That's horrible... Swiss woman, 57... It's on BP just now.
tomazbodner Posted August 5, 2021 Posted August 5, 2021 Killing a Swiss diplomat will do wonders for tourism on Phuket... 2
Popular Post worgeordie Posted August 5, 2021 Popular Post Posted August 5, 2021 I hope the police do a proper job of investigating the poor lady's murder, RIP regards Worgeordie 3
wasabi Posted August 5, 2021 Posted August 5, 2021 RIP dear lady. I cannot think of a worse headline for the sandtrap program. 1
Danny Australia Posted August 5, 2021 Posted August 5, 2021 Probably the case will be solved within 72 hours as it appears the murder and rape was not planned (opportunistic) with no attempt to hide the body. There would be no doubt plenty of forensic evidence at the scene (including semen) and the killer would be paraded to the media soon. They have to identify a suspect within 72 hours to minimise the damage for the sandbox and international ramification /impact. I feel this crime will eventually be blamed on Covid (unemployed guy who lost his job due to covid and either drunk or high on drugs or just wanted to steal money to eat). No excuse at all for the crime, just the scenario I imagine will play out.

Not even. Not going minimize anything. This news will be all over Europe. And of course all the tourist in Phuket . I would not be surprised if there were a mass exodus from Phuket. 1

If the "authorities" in Phuket are allowing "these thai males " to take the tourism industry to ruine then that's what they are asking for and what they deserve. 2
drenddy Posted August 5, 2021 Posted August 5, 2021 If I were from Myanmar, I would leave Phuket ASAP. 1
