simonphuket Posted August 5, 2021 Share 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 Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Popular Post 2long Posted August 5, 2021 Popular Post Share 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 Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Likely a sandbox tourist with wristband or so. Raped and murdered. Lying for about three days. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

KhunBENQ Posted August 5, 2021 Share Posted August 5, 2021 (edited) 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 Share 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 Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Danny Australia Posted August 5, 2021 Share 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. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

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 Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

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 Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
