British boy, 16, is found dead with head wounds in a Thai forest: Police hunt for teenager's missing girlfriend

[natway09]

All I know is this is terrible reading & I hope that those responsible are brought to justice.

Sadly interested in hearing any outcome as looks like a sensless & callous death

[Taboo2]

So very sad to read this story.  I do hope they catch the bastards who did this.

Perhaps his parents were hoping he wouldn't find his way back to his US home.

I only knew him for 3 hours. So I have no clue.

Yam, the female in the photo has been found safe and well 

But there is another young Female who is missing .

 

 

"Ben's first girlfriend, Yam, has now been found and she is safe. Police have ruled her out of the case."

She hasn't been kidnapped though

Just straight up murdered at the same time? Lets see how long she's been dead for now they've inevitably found the body.

You do realise that there are 2 girls involved, and that the girl mentioned in the OP, and which is the same one Mac is talking about, has been found safe and well?

 

The one found murdered has not been mentioned in the OP

Not sure where this line comes from. Could be, but can't be certain.

 

All we know is two kids are dead.

From what I understand from the last article posted in this thread, is that 2 girls were involved, and the one now found dead is the one who was associated with the murderer

Agreed but doesn't really add anything to the turn of events. 

 

Unless there's definitive evidence that Ben was lured into a honeytrap by Pong, then it's all guesswork.

Maybe the murderers phone showed the evidence. 

 

Seems to be a strange accusation though.

In the OP is talked about Yam, but the picture shown in the OP is Ping Pong, not Yam.

Yam has been found safe.

Ben's first girlfriend, Yam, has now been found and she is safe.

 

The girl pictured in the OP, Suraphltchaya Khamsa nickname Ping Pong, has been found deceased.

https://www.dailymail.co.uk/news/article-12079637/Body-15-year-old-girl-accused-luring-British-boy-death-Thailand-woods.html

 

Police are now continuing to interrogate sex crimes convict Chaiwat Boongarin, 44, who allegedly admitted killing Ben but denies murdering Suraphltchaya, whose nickname was Ping Pong.

 

Nowhere in the OP is there a mention of that girl.

Well, it looks like the police got their man, and the interrogation paid off.

You mean in terms of them finding the girl's body? Apparently not, it seems he continues to deny all knowledge of her or her fate. Her body was found following a tipoff by someone who saw her being led into a forest by an unidentified man.
