I mean the difference from the way he is speaking there and his 'put up job' in the police station 'apologising' to her parents.

The guy is retarded, he needs to be destroyed, at the very least, he belongs in an asylum.

I'll still wait for the coroner's report. Was it bruising, or was it pooling because of the orientation of the body on the ground?

Watch enough Forensic File episodes and you'll realize how little we know until the experts have a look.

Yes you are absolutely right. Just normal pooling as now the coroner has said clearly she was not injured but died from suffocation. Which probably implies strangulation.

Huh? The only thing I have said is that a 17-year-old is not underage, she was over the age of consent for sexual activity. You are referencing completely different offences .

Those who are "fighting tooth and nail", as you put it, to say that, in isolation 17 is underage for sex here, are just wrong.

No, the girl is underage for the activities he hired her for, as all my replies have made clear. You've said it's legal to hire a 17-year-old for sex off the street, and it certainly is not, as per the charges he is facing.

Correct. The Prostitution laws in Thailand are clear. Under 18 is underage for the purposes of prostitution.

Photos of his apartment / crime scene in the below news article. What a slum.

Add this to the charges: people who live like this when a cleaner costs 600 baht need to be hanged.

It has been reported that Simon lived like a pig, even before coming to Thailand.

Very good analysis, as usual, from the Good Doctor:

Thai women must always be wary when meeting foreigners they can know very little about.

Childish comments above

I may have to organise a fruit basket for this man and volunteer counselling support for him , regardless of what he did ,he still needs support

This is just the epitome of how messed up Thai society is (well, this, and the other recent news headline about an 11 year old driver killing six monks)

Underage hooker, probably selling her body to finance layabout parents (as is her duty in Thai culture), tries to force 500 baht payment (for nothing) from a nutcase farang and ends up getting killed.

Was that not an accurate summary?

Presumably they will find the knife. The 1000 baht 500 baht story is plausible and not unusual

I don't believe she had a knife.

But I believe the "scam gone wrong" story.

I think the "wanting paid, despite being on menstruation" thing is very believable.

Typical Thai hooker logic

Some people claim she might have tried to get the money (or more money) from him by saying she would go to the police because she is only 17, and that he might have felt trapped. He might not have mentioned this because he does not want to admit he knew her age.

Upset entitled foreigner didn't get his own way..he's a pedo, same as most of the dregs that are allowed in now. Dirty, filthy, deranged drug users with what they think they are as having mental issues.

A 17-year-old is not pre-pubescent; it's not pedophilia in this case.

Possibly, but I have never heard that one before.

I have heard of them pretending to be 18 tho

Everything stated is from a man that stated She left his condo while he was sleeping yet CCTV prove that was a lie

You have completely misunderstood what I said and placed a construction that was not stated.

This may be because English is not your first language.

The thrust of my post was not to apply the Western meaning of 'age of consent' on to Thai legislation which is very different, particularly in relation to parental or guardian involvement. If you managed to understand from my post that "17 is not underage", then you have totally failed to understand what I was saying. I was saying the complete opposite.

Also at no point did I mention or refer to or even allude to prostitution. I have no idea why you introduced that to my post.

BS, the girl was involved in prostitution and your comments, are deflecting.
