Provincial Police Region 8 commander Police Lieutenant General Amphon Buarapphon told reporters last week that the Russian diplomatic mission was satisfied with police enquiries into the death of 37-year-old Evgenia Smirnova (inset left) who died after falling 80 ft from an external staircase (inset) at the Emerald Terrace condominium building in the Patong nightlife area of Phuket in the early hours of June 7th while in a highly intoxicated state. Three foreigners at a booze and sex party held at the 7th and 8th-floor apartment prior to the incident were later arrested and have been charged with negligent homicide in relation to the death.

Police chief in Phuket warns of the danger to foreigners who become intoxicated and the duty of care that exists to foreign visitors who are arriving on the island in increasing numbers as police continue the investigation into the tragic death of a 37-year-old Russian woman in the morning of June 7th in the Patong nightlife district with three foreign tourists already facing charges.

 

Police in Phuket are still examining the case of a 37-year-old Russian woman who died after falling from a balcony of an apartment in the Patong area on Tuesday, June 7th after determining that charges of negligent homicide should be brought against three foreign nationals who were at the apartment at a booze and sex party at the time. It is understood that police have still not ruled out a more serious charge as the investigation proceeds.

 

This week, the second Russian woman at the scene, 35-year-old Natalia Kosenkova, revealed she had been released from custody and accused one of the foreign men who was at the apartment when the incident took place, Jordanian Ahmad R., of behaving ‘inappropriately’ although she insisted to police that the death of her compatriot had been purely an accident for which no one is to blame.

We are just waiting for some Alibis wire transferred from Russia, due to sanctions on Russia, we are trying to receive some crypto evidence. Once they are received, based on the weight of Alibis we will decide on charges.
