Looking at the clear photo she doesn't look like an LB, but some you can't tell purely by looks

She kinda does. Long arm, overly white complexion. Maybe not but not 100% lady

The guy could have been queer and knew that she was an LB and it was some gay lovers quarrel.

You are having quite the morning rant. Here he is a drug user. Later he was likely having a "few schooners".

Either way, just another pathetic, filthy sex tourist coming to Thailand to molest young girls. Nothing to do with visas. Those scumbag perverts are part of the landscape.

Let's hope money doesn't get him off a prison sentence, where her brothers can remind him of what he did.

Well you can't deny what sort of people are being allowed into the country...no criminal checks for visas or anything. Don't know where you live but I have seen 1st hand the trash that is allowed to stay here. All grifting on line with radical views and convictions in their home countries and proud of it. Is it any wonder things like this seem to be happening on a daily basis, it will all come out in the wash about this guy.

He does not look like a murderer either. The crime makes no sense.

how on earth did he think he was getting away with this ?

cctv is everywhere

It looks like another one of those impulsive crimes. They don't plan it out at all and are just going on adrenaline make low IQ moves. And are caught so easily.

The white complexion is common with beach road and WS LBs so still possible

Some aussies can be really homophobic and might freak out when he realises he just got hot and heavy with one. A normal person wouldn't react like that

So maybe around 24 hours from the time the suitcase was discovered to stopping the alleged perp trying to fly out of Suvarnabhumi. Pretty good police work.

Excellent work indeed. What surprises me is that the perp chose not to change his clothes before attempting to leave, at the very least would have made him somewhat less recognisable, and smelly.

Perhaps but he looks kind of dopey.

From the OP: after entering a condominium on Jomtien Second Road with Carman at approximately 3.34am on June 25.

So was the alleged perp the owner of the condo or was this just another Airbnb short-term (less than 30 days) illegal rental.

they can't be all the doing of Aussie bogans can they?

Anyone else curious about the cause of death?

Without that tidbit of information, I'm open to the possibility that it was a drug overdose and the guy just panicked to get rid of the body. That doesn't exonerate the guy, but it would paint a different picture.

Or, it may have been an act of violence. Have there been any updates in Thai media?

You'll find most foreigners riding a Yamaha Aerox have some sort of mental health issue.

In Thailand this is not unusual, I am sure security have seen far 'stranger' things?

some other quotes from Facebook

"The room showed signs of a struggle. He was found with numerous scratches on his neck and arms.She was naked, and her face showed signs of assault, with bruises and swelling all over. Blood was flowing from her mouth and nose. She had been dead for at least two days

Not 100% lady? WTF does that even mean? Do you know you’re judging from a photo? You think the skin tones are correct?

What difference would it make anyway?

Do you realise you know nothing about this?

Got any more wild guesses you’d like to share for no reason?

Yes but numerous media reports refer to she, usually they switch to trans

its possible he did not plan to kill her.

maybe an altercation got out of hand.

but then just wanted to hide the body.

...Mr. Simon Peter Carman...

That's strange. Doesn't sound like a [insert name of typical Australian immigrant nationality here].

But I digress. He's 47 and took a 17-year-old girl to his room. That's a teenage girl, not a lady boy. Thai media has no issues reporting on the involvement of the 'third-gender', so there's no reason to suspect homophobic rage here. Maybe he is simply what I believe is called a 'rock spider' in the Australian vernacular?

From Pattaya News: "A team led by Pol. Col. Anek Sarathongyu, Chief of Pattaya City Police Station, searched the condominium. They found signs of a struggle in the room but no one inside. Carman had already left. ..."

and "Rescue workers opened the suitcase and discovered the body of a young woman curled inside, covered partially by a thin brown cloth. She had visible injuries to her face consistent with a violent assault, including swelling, bruising, and blood from her mouth and nose. The body showed signs of having been dead for over a day. Distinctive tattoos and physical features confirmed the identity as Miss T. ..."

and, "Carman was intercepted at the airport with visible scratch marks on his neck and arms, believed to be defensive wounds from a struggle. ..."

I study body language. He looks different to most. My guess is ladyboy, alcohol and lost his cool. Then came up with the bag idea. It was a moment of madness and not a planned kill. Evil people plan it out.

Disgusting monster. Castrate the the pyscho, jail him and throw the key away. Everytime this happens the reputation of us law-abiding expats gets tarnished. Condolences to her family and may she rest in peace.
