A young Thai girl was tragically found deceased in Pattaya, after meeting Australian Simon Peter Carman on a beach on Wednesday night and returning to his apartment. Police recovered her body, stuffed inside a suitcase, near a railway track.

Carman was arrested as he attempted to leave Thailand, now facing charges including intentional murder and the abduction of a minor. Although he partially confessed to the crime, stating it was accidental, the incident highlights the persistent issue of exploitation in this tourist hotspot.
