Trang, South Thailand – A Chinese businessman was found dead with more than 20 stab and slash wounds at a resort in Mueang Trang.


The Mueang Trang Police were notified of the incident on Tuesday afternoon (May 16th) at a resort in the Tub Tieng sub-district.

 

They and emergency responders arrived at the resort to find the body of a 43-year-old Chinese man (Mr. Zhirui Li) inside a bathroom. He was face down wearing only a towel and covered in blood.

 

More than 20 stab and slash wounds were found on his body including his chest. Police believe that the Chinese man had died at least 12 hours before his body was found. Numerous empty beer bottles were found nearby along with six unused condoms.

 

Staffers at the resort told Thai police that at about Noon today, May 16th, a room cleaner called Mr. Liu’s phone number which he gave to staff when he checked-in as he did not check out before noon. After nobody picked up the call the cleaner knocked on the door of the room and there was still no answer.

    20 stab wounds are indicative of a hate crime.

    Nice touch to mention the number of condoms - 6 incase you missed this important detail....

Must have upset someone real bad bad or simply a case of opportunist robbery by female "friend". Sad for his Thai wife and children. Never piss off a Southern Thai. They don't <deleted> about. Mueang Trang is pretty boring but maybe he found some P4P that went wrong or was it something more sinister?

Either that or a kidnap plot that went wrong, and didn't end well.

Looks like a crime of passion…lust n adultery leads to death just like it is stated in the bible.. RIP … 

Are police now looking for "noon" in the confusion????  

I believe stating the number of unused condoms is important as it's indicative of some sort of expected sexual encounter.   I have no idea as to the motive.

So not a happy ending

Chinese businessman, Southern Thailand,  20 stab wounds ....     definitely foul play involved,  I would guess it's money owed.  Do room service get any extra pay for cleaning bathroom tiles of blood?

You never know! Maybe the wife noticed a bunch of condom missing from the drawer. One would’ve been hard to notice. Maybe the woman he was trying to do business with disputed the number of times he wanted it after seeing the six. 

He should have used a condom?

Jokes aside: This is really terrible, and still so young.

Wonder what really happened here.

RIP

Yes I found the people more edgy. NST has the worst I believe.

Hang about! So the only things in the room were empty beer bottles and six unused condoms??? Nothing else??? A suit case? Clothes? Shoes? A discarded belt? A hat? How about a bed, curtains, loose change and a wallet? Discarded socks? Was there a used condom perhaps? Or was that bit of reporting, as I suspect, thrown in there to lead the witness your honour? I really don’t think the unused condoms bear any relevance whatsoever to the story. Indeed if the deceased is married with a family and they are readying this would this not be rather distressing? I know my wife would be pretty darn upset! Poor poor journalism at its best! It may have been fact but it’s borderline trolling.

 

Jury you are hereby ordered to disregard the statement on the condoms by the prosecutor, it is irrelevant.

Maybe he could've been a two condoms at a time person with a layer of chilli in between to let him know if one fell off?

Quite possible considering lack of details at this point. To add, maybe the remaining four in your scenario could be used to increase girth (not saying all Chinese need it). But Jesus a layer of chili? OUCH!!!

Someone was just wanted to making a point.. A sharp point.  ????

Or the husband of the woman he was meeting up with?

 

First 2 people I would question. The lover and her husband.

They didn't say what they were used for though.  Perhaps it was a balloon animal show that went wrong...

Quite the opposite. They indicate the guy was meeting a lover or using them for some other purpose like drugs. Beers indicate a good time rather than a serious meeting.

Iff I reed, ‘women’, robbery, stab wounds I can only think about a ladyboys. 
they use drinks and knife s to robe people… but let’s wait and see what the police will find.  
 

r I p mister..

Interesting comment. Along with being found just with a towel and several beer bottles at the scene, may I suggest a "gang bang" party?

Wishful thinking?

" import export " ????  call it whatever = Triad Grey Business 

Consistent Married to local with kids Chinese Business work at a resort with a friend briefcase full of Condoms.  Typical profile of money laundering and having fun at the same time.  

The last thing this was is a robbery.
