Crime Chinese National Arrested at Airport for Murder & Dismemberment of Transgender in Pattaya

[Yagoda]

The sicko has done this before. History, psychology and criminology all suggest this poor deluded dude was not his first victim.

 

I doubt Transgenderism had anything to do with the whole shebang. Just another psycho.

UPDATE
Chinese National “Tongyuan” Re-Enacts Gruesome Murder  in Pattaya

 

Pictures from reenactment.

 

In a case that has shocked the nation, Chinese national Mr. Tongyuan Fu, 42, was taken under heavy police guard to re-enact the brutal killing of a 25-year-old transgender, “Mina” (also known as “Note”), whose mutilated body was discovered in the bathroom of a Pattaya hotel on 26 April.

 

The suspect, initially refusing to cooperate with police, later confessed after forensic evidence, including the victim’s mobile phone found in his possession, proved damning. He claimed that Mina had refused his advances after agreeing to accompany him to his room, which led to a violent altercation. Enraged after being kicked and suffering a broken front tooth, Tongyuan admitted to pressing his knee into Mina’s neck until she lost consciousness. He then dragged her body into the bathroom, where he used scissors to cut her body open, removing her breast implants and heart, allegedly out of a grotesque curiosity inspired by crime series he had watched.

 

Pol. Maj. Gen. Thawatkiat Jindakornsano, Commander of Chonburi Provincial Police, alongside Pol. Col. Anake Sarathongyoo, Superintendent of Pattaya City Police Station, led a team of more than 20 officers in conducting the re-enactment at the crime scene, attracting large crowds of onlookers.

The reenactment was also carried out at 3 additional locations:

A nearby discount store where Tongyuan had purchased a black rubbish bag pack, two rainbow bags, scissors, and two hammock ropes on the night before the murder.

 

The Pattaya North bus station where he arranged travel to the airport.

 

The South Pattaya beach area near Walking Street, where he first met the victim and exchanged contact details via the WeChat application.

During the re-enactment at the bus station, the victim’s father, Mr. Auan, aged 61, along with other family members, attempted to confront the suspect. Mr. Auan struck Tongyuan in the face with a plastic bottle before collapsing, needing assistance from police officers.

 

Speaking through tears, Mr. Auan recalled his child’s dedication. Four years ago, Mina had gone to Taiwan to study Chinese, later returning to Pattaya, where she worked and regularly sent 10,000 baht home each month. Mina had recently completed building a house for her parents and had promised to take them on a trip to China, a dream now shattered by her untimely death.

 

Tongyuan who was arrested by Immigration Police at Suvarnabhumi Airport just hours after the body was discovered, as he prepared to board a flight to Kunming, Yunnan Province. He confessed through an interpreter that after Mina refused to engage in sexual activity or refund the agreed fee of 8,000 baht, a violent argument ensued. Following the killing, he admitted to “playing with the body” and sleeping next to it before fleeing.

 

Despite the shocking nature of the crime, police ruled out human trafficking or organ trading motives, citing that the removal of organs appeared to be driven by macabre curiosity rather than commercial intent. However, they await forensic confirmation regarding any missing body parts.

 

Tongyuan faces charges of murder and theft. Authorities have not found evidence suggesting he suffered from psychiatric disorders, despite his bizarre actions and his claim that the scissors were purchased purely for self-defence.

sounds like he planned this beforehand - this sicko needs thorough investigation both here, in China, and other places he has visited
