snoop1130 Posted May 19, 2022 Share Posted May 19, 2022 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.

She suffered multiple injuries, including bruises on her throat, a head injury, and scratches on her face and body.

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.

snoop1130 Posted May 19, 2022 Author Share Posted May 19, 2022 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.

morrobay Posted May 19, 2022 Share Posted May 19, 2022 So she was able to call out for help and is now home recovering but can't recall any thing.

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. 1 2 1 Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

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

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. 8 1 1 3 1 Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Popular Post Jingthing Posted May 19, 2022 Popular Post Share Posted May 19, 2022 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. 2 1 Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

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

Maybe an African American somehow looks different when jogging? etc 4 1 Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

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