PHUKET: -- A security guard employed by a resort in Pah Khlok was arrested today (May 31) for attacking a Chinese woman in her bed whilst her boyfriend was asleep beside her last Friday morning (May 27).

The man, a security guard at Point Yamu, told to police that he broke into the room to steal the guest’s mobile phones and that he did not want to sexual harass or hurt the woman.

The incident was reported to police last Friday by 27-year-old Bolin Lou who said she and her boyfriend had checked in to the resort on Thursday evening (May 26) and locked the door before they went out for dinner.

After dinner, while they were sleeping, she felt a hand on her neck. She said a man tried to strangle her so she called for help which woke up her boyfriend. This caused the suspect to flee via the balcony. (See story here.)

Col Sompong Tiparphakul the new chief of Thalang Police held a press conference today to announce the arrest of 24-years-old Ammorn Tohkani who was arrested on a warrant issued on Sunday (May 29) by Phuket Provincial Court for burglary at night and assault.

Ammorn was arrested in his home town of Bajoh in Narathiwat province where he sought refuge after the incident.

Dear me, how dense can one get, like they'd never suspect the 'security guard'. I don't think you'll be sleeping soundly either for the next, how many years?

The so called security guard is obviously the most likely suspect. Happens all the time.

Maybe him not showing up for work the next day will also have contributed.
