A 38-year-old female Russian tourist was brutally assaulted while jogging at the Mabprachan reservoir in Bang Lamung.

 

Around 9.30 p.m. yesterday, May 18th, Pol Lt. Col. Chatchai Rakcheub from the Nong Prue Police Station responded to a physical assault of a female Russian tourist who was reportedly jogging at the Mabprachan reservoir, Nong Prue sub-district, Bang Lamung, Chonburi.

 

According to the police report, the female victim was identified as Ms. Elena Y, 38, Russian. She suffered multiple injuries, including bruises on her throat, a head injury, and scratches on her face and body.

The police investigated the road leading to the reservoir where she had previously jogged and found a 10-meter-long trail of blood, her running shoes, and her phone. She was then transferred to the Bang Lamung Hospital.

 

Mr. Kosol Chomchuen, a 36-year-old witness, told police he was driving by when he heard the victim, who was covered in blood, call out for help. He then contacted the police, but he did not know what happened.

 

Today, May 19th, Damrong Iampairote, police chief from the Nong Prue Police Station, gave an update on this brutal assault, assuming it was not a robbery but rather an attempt to sexually assault her based on the fact that the suspect left the victim’s phone.

As Fabulous 103, along with Bangkok media, were allowed to film the site and surroundings alongside Pattaya’s Maprachan lake, it became quickly obvious that, despite huge spending on decorative lighting for main roads adjacent to the track, and most of the exercise track used by runners and cyclists having perfectly adequate lighting, a section of some 2KM which runs through dense forest has no lighting of any kind, and the track itself appears to be devoid of any CCTV cameras.

 

This then makes catching a violent perpetrator who carried out a vicious attack on a 38 yr old Russian woman, after sundown on Wednesday, much harder for police.

 

The roadway that you see here, is the only link from one side of the lake to the other, has lighting half way across but then, the lady will have found herself in this wooded area. It has become clear, she was ambushed and violently attacked on the path that is used as an exercise track around the lake.

 

The lady then, was running from the Soi Siam end, alongside the water until reaching the wooded and dark area, some 1.5 km from the main road at Nong Prue. Here, a male attacker ambushed her and forced her from the track into a grassy area, where, according to detectives, the assault took place.

The OP does say that robbery is not suspected, sexual assault is.

[morrobay]

So she was able to call out for help and is now home recovering but can't recall any thing. Sounds more to me like " they " do not want any more bad news around here between locals and foreigners.

No evidence of sexual assault i read plus the woman can't remember any of it, so Ukraine still a possibility

[bbko]

Why any female wants to jog alone in a remote dimly lit area at 9:30 at night is beyond me.

So is any other nationality you care to think about, and they all have the same possibility of being guilty.

So why do you suggest that it could be a Ukrainian who did it? It could have any person from any country, and like me and the rest of the readers, you have no idea. At this point not even the police know but the certainly know more than you or I.

you are aware that Russia has invaded Ukraine and soldiers have been raping Ukrainian women? so there is a possible motive, maybe a small chance and I didn't suggest a Ukrainian. What's your idea sherlock?

So you don't aspire to a world where such a female should be able to do so without being attacked?

Where does it state that she was jogging at 9.30pm?

 

If she doesn't remember anything, she could have been unconscious.

 

Cannot imagine that she started after dark. Most people would use the outside track after dark.

If I step out through my gate and look right I can see that walking, cycling, running track, it's very busy most days, the best investment Pattaya ever made.

Well, they will prove with "pointed fingers" snap that it was done by Burmese, they are at the borders to catch some.

My best guess would be Burmese, Cambodian, laotian in that order. Worst case they will bring in someone from Isaan land. 

Thai police never disappoints.

[RandiRona]

So Indians, Bristish, Cambodian, Russians all tasted the rich heritage of Pattaya.....Multinational harmony I guess...no discrimination...

The outside track (as far as I'm aware) is the road.

[2 is 1]

what's your bright idea? come on think a bit

You think someone can identify the nationality of someone jogging ???

 

The ‘attacking a Russian because she is Russian’ is a huge stretch.....    

Or, someone following a ‘Russian female because she is Russian, so they could attack her’ is also a huge stretch....   the Russian angle full stop just a huge stretch... this is not in a bar and argument between Ukrainians and Russians...  Its a lone female jogger at 9:30pm at night....

Man or women....it's a stupid idea to go jogging or walking alone at night in a dark area with no one about.

 

That is common sense.  Of course it would be nice to do as you like and always be safe...but you are in the real world not a fairy story for little children.

It can be Russians because she is publicly against the war? Or sexual violence, or just driven down by a car, motorbike or a attempt of robbery?

 

Aliens?

[Jingthing]

I very seriously doubt this was war related but there is something about her not knowing what happened that possibly doesn't pass the smell test. A good investigation would at the very least consider if there might be another reason that she may have been targeted. Say no more, use your imagination.

No, there is a cycling and running track around the lake, totally separate from the road. It looked to me as if she was running inside the gated area, as opposed to outside them where the cycling/running track is located.

Yep you'd have a good idea, does a Thai man suddenly not look Thai when jogging? Maybe an African American somehow looks different when jogging? etc

Why do they lead the story with she's Russian? This was a sexual assault. He didn't care what country she came from. I don't think it has anything to do with the war in Ukraine.

Sounds like there is a stretch of unlit pathway too... not sure how much moonlight there was at that time. Taking a jog at nighttime is a surprising action for a young woman... and this attack also surprises me as it is in an area one thought away from the bad parts of town.

There is a sick individual out there that I hope they catch soon....
