The murder case of Tanchanok Donhumela, a 17-year-old Thai girl whose body was found in a suitcase near the railway tracks in Pattaya, made headlines on Monday, October 12, with a new court hearing.
According to Ambassador Arjan, the girl's family members for the first time faced Simon Peter Carman, a 45-year-old Australian man accused of her murder. The suspect, who has been in jail since his arrest in June, is facing charges of murder, indecent behavior with a minor, and concealing a corpse.
Tanchanok had traveled to Pattaya from Kalasin province in northeastern Thailand; A coastal city in the southeast of Bangkok, which is the destination of many tourists. After he was reported missing, his body was found in a suitcase in a secluded area near railroad tracks.
