Police suspect French national murdered in Phuket
Phuket Gazette -

PHUKET: A 37-year-old French national was found dead in his underwear in a rental room in Phuket this afternoon.

The Parisian was found in a pool of blood partially under a stripped mattress at the Morgot Resort in Chalong. There was evidence of blunt trauma to the side of his head.

Police believe he had been dead for more than 5 hours before he was discovered at 1:45pm.

“It looks as if the room was ransacked,” said Capt Kraisorn Boonprasop of the Chalong Police.

“We think someone stole his laptop after the attack, as the resort owner saw the man carry one in, but we couldn’t find it when we searched the room.”

The Phuket Gazette is withholding the victim's name until confirming next of kin have been notified of his death.

Murder probe after French tourist found bashed, dead in Phuket
Eakkapop Thongtub

PHUKET: Phuket police are investigating a murder after French national Fabrice Boigeol, 37, was found dead inside his bungalow on Soi Saiyuan in Rawai yesterday (April 18) around 2pm.

Police said Mr Boigeol had been bashed with a hard object and suffered injuries to his head, neck and chest.

The owner of the bungalow decided to look for Mr Boigeol as it was strange he hadn't come out of the house that day. He entered the house and found the body.

The place was a mess and the man's laptop was missing, police said.

Col Peerayut Karajedi, Vice Commander of Phuket Police, said that the reason for the killing might have been robbery, or related to personal conflict or a love affair.

The man's body was taken to Vachira Hospital for an autopsy.

"Col Peerayut Karajedi, Vice Commander of Phuket Police, said that the reason for the killing might have been robbery, or related to personal conflict or a love affair."

The Police Colonel is obviously a man of great detective skills.

or it could have been suicide.

He gave the lap top to his girl/boy friend, then tore up the room while trying to bash himself in the head. Obvious suicide.

I've never had a hotel manager check on me if I stayed inside my room until 01.45pm.

The manager was very sure the unnamed victim (Mr Boigeol) had a laptop.

Anyone know where this place is?

Hmmmmmmmmmmmmmm, Strange how dead folk seem to found within a few hours in their "private" place of residence .

RIP.

[NamKangMan]

Definately a case of heat stroke.

[Calach]

You never know, in France we've seen lot of suicides, particularly among politicians, where the guy ended his own life with two bullets in the head or drawning himself in 30 centimeters of water.

French suiciders are great performers, it's a tradition.

PHUKET: Police are hunting for suspects involved in the killing of a French national who was found dead in a Phuket rental room yesterday.

The body of Fabrioe Boigeol, 37, was found lying partially under a stripped mattress in a room at the Morgot Resort in Chalong at about 1:45pm (story here).

“Police and forensic investigators are checking CCTV in and around the resort for possible suspects,” Phuket Provincial Police Deputy Commander Peerayuth Karajedee told the Phuket Gazette today.

“We have yet to establish a motive for the murder. We need to first find the suspect or suspects. There could be more than one person involved in this case.

“Please give us some time, we will have more information soon.”

Mr Boigeol checked into the resort on March 6, and had planned to check out on April 21.

The French Embassy has been informed of the death.

Don't know why you think there's something strange about it, they have to be found sometime.

[fritzzz25]

"Police begin hunt for French murder suspects" - Are the suspects French? Or are they hunting persons suspected of murdering a citizen of France?

[JetsetBkk]

Morgot Resort?

I guess concrete is cheaper than windows.

Dead bodies living alone arnt usually found until someone eventually misses them or they start to smell,

This place doesnt look like it has daily maid service so it seems strange the manager would go inside looking for him at 1.45. Ive sometimes been still in bed nursing a hangover, or something else, at that time and wouldnt appreciate staff walking in.

off topic post and the two replies have been removed.

Nothing will be done unless the french government demands answers. Then thai officials will arrest someone and say case solved.

[Dap]

Definately a case of heat stroke.

No doubt!

PHUKET! PHUKET! PHUKET! every dam time thai visa is posted there is something bad about phuket! been that way for the past two years. this scumbag island needs an overhaul and it seems that the thai's are not doing anything about the robberies, suicides, tuk, tuks, taxi drivers, jet skies, and everyother crime committed in PHUKET!

this island needs to be sunk and the tourist be informed about how dangerous the place is! AND Thai Visa should write an expose about it, it certainly has enough evidence as it publishes another crime in every issue!

Why do so many farangs...come to Thailand to commit suicide? Jumping from hotel and condo balconies...stabbing themselves to death...shooting themselves...and bashing their heads in...what is it about Thailand that provokes such personal attacks...?

And why is it their wallet, cellphone, and laptops are always missing...do they throw them away just before killing themselves?

Why do we never hear where the police investigation leads...what were the results of the investigation...is the case closed...or was it closed as soon as it became known it was a farang that died???

You know you have been here too long when everything is a conspiracy.

The dead guy has lived there for 5 weeks. By now he has a routine that the manager is accustomed to and that routine means an appearance by mid-morning. When the guy didn't make that appearance then the manager made a welfare check.

Nothing suspicious about that.

Look at the responses that have been made on this thread. They are pretty pitiful.

So the owner of the bungalow noticed that mr Boigeoi hadn't come out of the house that day.which leads me to ask did he see anyone enter.

The bunker didn't help him then

Either that or he flicked a carnival spinner three times with his finger. Then again, he may have consulted a fortune teller.

Can't ask him that, might cause him to lose face.

I agree and long time ago I decided that I will not visit this bloody place any more till the local authorities will decide to clean the place.

Why do all you armchair detectives always start providing your comments based on the crap reported in the newspaper? The newspapers never provide a complete report on anything. So all the conjecture is generally useless and provides nothing in the way of information. Newspaper reports in Thailand never seem to be comprehensive and you detectives never know the context of the bits and pieces of the reported information. Your comments are rarely germane to the issue.

[dighambara]

Attacking Foreigners here is very much cutting one's own throat.

A very large percentage of overall income is via Foreign visitors - a much larger amount from Foreign residents.

[dotpoom]

A little respect for the victim might not go amiss...........May he RIP and prayers for his family and friends to cope with this tragedy
