Popular Post Georgealbert Posted 15 hours ago Popular Post Posted 15 hours ago Pictures courtesy of Khoasod. Thai police have detained two Indian men for questioning in connection with the alleged rape of a 24-year-old German tourist at the Full Moon Party on Koh Phangan. Both suspects have given contradictory accounts of events. Authorities remain confident they have apprehended the correct individuals. The victim, identified as Ms. Sara, reported to police that she was sexually assaulted by two men near a rocky area close to a bungalow in Moo 6, Ban Tai Subdistrict, Koh Phangan. The attack took place after she had been drinking at the Full Moon Party. The suspects fled the scene immediately after the incident. Following the report, senior officers, including Pol. Lt. Gen. Surapong Thanomjit, Commander of Provincial Police Region 8, and Pol. Lt. Gen. Saksira Phueakam, Commander of the Tourist Police, mobilised teams to track down the suspects. Investigators reviewed over 100 CCTV cameras in the area and interviewed witnesses. Forensic officers also collected evidence from the crime scene. The investigation led police to a bungalow in Moo 1, where they detained Mr. Vijay, 47, and Mr. Rahul, 40, both Indian nationals on tourist visas. The two men were taken to Koh Phangan Police Station for questioning. During interrogation, Mr. Vijay reportedly provided partial admissions, while Mr. Rahul gave vague and inconsistent statements, claiming he could not remember the events of that night. As part of the investigation, police collected DNA samples from both men and sent them for analysis at Koh Phangan Hospital. Meanwhile, Ms. Sara stated that she had been heavily intoxicated on the night of the attack and could not positively identify her attackers. She also mentioned that the area where the assault took place was poorly lit, making recognition difficult. CCTV from the scene. Pol. Col. Apichart Chansamret, Chief of Koh Phangan Police, emphasised that while the victim could not confirm the identities of her attackers, evidence from CCTV footage and witness testimonies supported their suspicions. He stated that no other individuals were seen leaving the crime scene at the time of the assault, apart from Mr. Vijay and Mr. Rahul. “We are confident that we have the right suspects,” Pol. Col. Apichart said. “However, we will await the results of the DNA analysis and further investigations before proceeding with formal charges.” Authorities have reassured the public that they are committed to ensuring the safety of tourists and will take swift action against those found responsible. The case remains under investigation. -- 2025-03-15 2 3
