Key Points:
- Simon Peter Carman, 45, an Australian man, faces multiple charges including murder and abduction after the body of 17-year-old Tunchanok Donhomla was found in a suitcase in his Pattaya apartment.
- A sex worker revealed text messages from Carman sent while Donhomla’s body was hidden in his bathroom for 18 hours, during which he continued daily activities like shopping and laundry.
- Carman claims he strangled Donhomla in self-defense after a dispute, but autopsy reports show violent facial injuries, and police allege he disposed of her body near railway tracks.
- Carman has been moved to a prison hospital wing for safety, showing no emotion or contact with family, while Donhomla’s family demands the death penalty, rejecting his self-defense claim.
- Reports suggest Carman regularly brought young Thai women to his apartment, sometimes paying them for cleaning or massages, with CCTV capturing him and Donhomla entering his building shortly before her death.
