An Australian man has been charged with murder after the body of a 17-year-old girl was found in a suitcase in Thailand, local and Australian media report.<\/p>\n
Police in the coastal city of Pattaya said they had found the teenager “stuffed” in the bag, which had been discarded near a railway track, in the early hours of Saturday.<\/p>\n
Thai police said they arrested Simon Peter Carman at Bangkok’s Suvarnabhumi Airport in connection with the death as he was allegedly “preparing to flee the country”.<\/p>\n
He denies the charges, according to reports. In a message issued to the victim’s family after his arrest, Carman said: “I feel bad for what happened to your daughter. It was out of my control.”<\/p>\n
Pattaya City Police said the 17-year-old, named in local media as Tunchanok Donhomla, had been reported missing at 17:00 local time (12:00 GMT) on Friday. <\/p>\n
In a statement on social media, the force said it reviewed CCTV footage which allegedly showed Carman entering a condominium with her before later emerging alone “carrying a large suitcase”.<\/p>\n
It said he loaded the bag onto a motorbike before driving towards a railway line.<\/p>\n
Officers questioned and arrested Carman at the airport in the Thai capital, some 150km (93 miles) north of Pattaya, at 01:15 on Saturday.<\/p>\n
The teenager’s naked body was found in a suitcase some 15 minutes later, the force said.<\/p>\n","protected":false},"excerpt":{"rendered":"
