PHUKET: A man arrested for attacking a Russian woman on Bangla Rd, Patong, on Oct 31 has confessed to robbing the woman, but has denied that he attempted to rape her, police have told The Phuket News.

 

Patong Police arrested motorbike taxi driver Samlee Seangchan, 27, yesterday (Nov 4) after tracking him down via CCTV, explained Patong Police Deputy Chief Lt Col Somsak Thongkleng.

 

Col Somak said that he received a report on Tuesday (Nov 1) that a Russian woman, 30 years old, had went to celebrate Halloween on Bangla Rd on the traditional night of Oct 31.

 

“At about 2am she hired Samlee to take her back to her hotel in Chalong, but Samlee pulled over along the way and allegedly tried to embrace her,” Col Somak said.

 

“The Russian woman cried out for help, but Samlee reportedly pushed his hand over her face,” he said.

I am trying to picture this in my mind a Russian lady against a Thai guy? Something does not ring true. He should be looking like a pretzel right about now.

If he says he didn't do it...he didn't do it
