PHUKET: Teerawat Thothip, the man facing murder and robbery causing death charges for the killing of 57-year-old Phuket Sandbox tourist Nicole Sauvain-Weisskopf, was moved to Phuket Prison late this afternoon (Aug 9) after the Phuket Provincial Court approved his further detention while police continue their investigation.

 

Teerawat, a 27-year-old resident of Pa Khlok on Phuket’s east coast, during a press conference broadcast live nationwide yesterday confessed to choking Ms Sauvain-Weisskopf unconscious in order to rob her, but denied intention to kill her and denied any attempt to rape her.

 

When Ms  Sauvain-Weisskopf’s body was discovered last Thursday (Aug 5), it was found face down in a stream near the Ao Yon Waterfall, on Phuket’s east coast. Her body was naked from the waist down and covered with a dark tarpaulin weighed down by rocks. Her denim shorts, Nike trainers and small backpack were found amid the undergrowth nearby.

Really would  not be surprised to see this guy get bumped off soon to put an end to the prolonged embarrassing tourism story and Phuket sandbox nail

I read the Phuket Governor has plans to close temporarily some areas to 'protect' foreigners. This will NOT ease tensions at all.  The right man is in custody ?

Many countries move people to prison on remand due to seriousness of the crime or flight risk, regardless of trial outcome not being issued.
