There have been many developments in the murder of 31 year old transgender man Theerapong Lamleua who was found earlier in the week in a storeroom at a house in Prasat district of Surin, NE Thailand.

 

The suspect in the case - now named and Lithuanian not Russian - has blamed the mother who he said liked to steal her son's things.

 

He has denied any involvement and said he was waiting for Theerapong to come to Pattaya. The victim's dog has been found in the possession of an abbot after it was apparently abandoned in a park.

 

Thai Rath reported that the press were allowed access to Marius K., 31, yesterday afternoon following his initial interrogation after his arrest in Pattaya.

 

He continues to deny any involvement after grilling by the Prasat police.

 

Speaking through an interpreter he said the dog was left in a cage at the house and that J.J. (the nickname for Theerapong) had told him to go and wait in Pattaya, he would follow on later because he needed to meet someone.

 

He said he was going to return abroad but J.J. wanted him to stay on in Thailand so he did. 

 

He said he took a phone belonging to the victim because he had two and he was going to repair it. He couldn't remember when he pressed the ATM and how much he withdrew. (Thai Rath did not make the details clear about this, notes ASEAN NOW).

 

He couldn't remember what day he returned to Pattaya. Regarding bloodstains seen on his leg by the mother, that was caused by him scratching and blood on his clothes was caused by a nosebleed, he claimed. 

 

Reporters asked if he didn't murder Teerapong, who did?

 

The suspect said he thought it was probably the mother and an old person whose name he didn't know. He claimed that the mother liked to sell her son's stuff and borrow money from him. There were frequent thefts at the house and the father had issued warnings.

 

He denied there was an argument in a clip that has surfaced at a restaurant reiterating that he was waiting for J.J. and loved him and was very sad at his death.

 

He added in tears that his own mother was very sick and that his elder brother was aware of the trouble facing him in Thailand but was not sure if he would come.

 

Police said that despite all this they were waiting on DNA and other evidence analysis that will be ready shortly.

 

Meanwhile reporters found the victim's dog "Emma" a 5 year old female in the possession of the abbot of Wat Sikhowaram, a monk called Kittitheeraporn.

 

He said that a member of the public found it in a local park and advertised on Facebook for its owner to come forward. He decided to look after it in the meantime.

 

He has named it "Cat" because it likes to play with cats and is lovely and playful and follows him everywhere. 

 

The owner never showed up and then he found out about the murder. 

 

He said that Theeraporn's mother had come to see him as her son was missing and asked him to perform a ceremony. Shortly after she discovered he was dead and asked him to perform a funeral instead.

 

He believed that the spirit of the victim led the mother to him and the subsequent discovery of the body. 

 

He surmised that the "farang" had taken the dog to put in a cage because it would be problematic to take it and had finally decided to let it go in the park.

 

Investigations continue.

Dude's Lithuanian.

Same same, but different. Never said he wasn't. I was comparing excuses, not nationalities.

Not sure why they're referring to the transgender as a 'he' and 'him.' So many other news outlets refer to them as 'she' & 'her'. This victim certainly looked 'far enough transed' to be worthy of the female pronouns... at least if so many others seem to deserve it.

They say "transgender man", which technically, is a biological woman who lives as a man.

I think we all know what Theerapong was, and there's no need to trust a poor translation.

They are not the same same.

I only know what I have read here, but I find his story quite plausible.  I don't care whether he did or didn't do it (I'm in a bad mood because my neighbour wants to know how to cut onions). I personally haven't the faintest idea when I last went to the ATM, I know it was recently.   I personally think that the charming Mum did it.

I get a deja vu of the Kao Tao murders of Burma.....My first question is .. why would he murder the victim??.. Who has given the dog to the monk? If the mother and some one else were stealing from the victim, why not investigate deeper?? Who was JJ meeting ??? And why are there always spirits involved??? I don't believe the Lithaunian man did it.... just because there was no motive as the family would have a motive as their son would move away and they could not steal from him anymore .... as the article says

Follow the money if you need a motive.

A ladyboy is commonly referred to as a "she" in Thailand. 

 

 

ALWAYS by other Thais, in my experience.

 

It still says 'Male' in their passports  -  you can't change that.

why would he murder the victim?? - threatened to reveal he was gay to his friends

 

Who has given the dog to the monk? - let it go in a park as he wanted to create alternative plot.

 

If the mother and some one else were stealing from the victim, why not investigate deeper?? - how do you know that is true ? You trust his say so ? 

 

Not saying my answers are true, but they are more creditable - or more so - than his story.
