FOUR SUITCASES, FOUR VICTIMS? 💥 THAI POLICE RELEASE NEW PHOTOS AS THEY INVESTIGATE POSSIBLE LINK TO OTHER H0RRIFIC DE-ATHS
An Australian-Kiwi expat living in Thailand has laid bare the “grim” conditions of Thailand’s notorious soi 9 cells, where accused killer Simon Peter Carman is currently being held.
Mr Carman, 45, has been charged with the alleged murder of 17-year-old Tunchanok Donhomla, whose body was found stuffed inside a black suitcase near a railway line in Pattaya, Thailand, with police alleging she was strangled following a dispute over payment for her company.
CCTV footage allegedly captured Carman spending the day shopping, eating and doing laundry before disposing of the suitcase containing Ms Donhomla’s body through a back exit that evening, with police claiming she may have already been dead for hours as he went about his routine.
Carman was arrested at Bangkok’s Suvarnabhumi Airport just minutes before boarding a flight to Australia, where officers noticed apparent scratch injuries on his body, with police alleging he only began to confess after being shown surveillance footage of him dragging the suitcase away on a motorbike.

Horrifying images have emerged after suitcases containing the bodies of three more women were discovered close to the body of 17-year-old Tunchanok Donhomla.
Ms Donhomla’s body was found in a suitcase near railway tracks just outside Pattaya, about 10 minutes from the hotel where her accused killer Simon Peter Carman was staying.
In September last year, the body of a partially-clothed woman was found inside a suitcase floating in a reservoir less than 20 minutes from Jomtien Beach, where Mr Carman first met Ms Donhomla.
In images seen by news.com.au, the navy blue suitcase is wrapped in chains, padlocked and secured with cable ties.
A heartbreaking video of Tunchanok Donhomla’s final moments with her parents has been released before she was allegedly murdered by Simon Carman.
The footage of Ms Donhomla, who has been described as a “loving, fun young girl” by her father Thongchai, 46, shows her smiling and laughing alongside her dad and stepmother Oradee.
Oradee was filmed holding a piece of cake up to the camera as they celebrated Thongchai’s birthday at their family home in Kalasin, northeast Thailand.
“She didn’t have a lot of money, but she bought me a cake,” an emotional Thongchai told Viral Press.
An Aussie living in Thailand has described the ‘grim’ conditions of Thailand’s notorious soi 9 cells, where accused killer Simon Peter Carman is currently being held.
Mr Carman allegedly strangled 17-year-old Tunchanok Donhomla following an alleged dispute over payment for her company.
Former Gold Coast loan shark Tim “Sharky” Ward, who has spent time in the cells himself, says Mr Carman is facing “hell” in the prison, warning that if malnutrition doesn’t kill him, another prisoner may.
“He’s literally 2 minutes walk from me,” Mr Ward said.
Police have alleged Mr Carman confessed to strangling Ms Tunchanok until she lost consciousness before keeping her body in the bathroom until that evening.
It’s alleged Mr Carman went about business as usual, spending the day shopping, eating and doing his laundry while the body of the 17-year-old girl remained inside his room.
Thai investigators allege CCTV footage captured the 45-year-old going about seemingly ordinary daily activities for hours before later disposing of the suitcase containing Ms Donhomla’s body.
Police say the footage became a crucial part of the investigation that ultimately led to Mr Carman’s arrest at Bangkok’s Suvarnabhumi Airport, where he was stopped just minutes before boarding a flight to Perth.
A bartender has revealed she witnessed Mr Carman the night he met Ms Donhomla.
Kanyarat Duangdao, the manager of Marina 2 Bar and Grill in Pattaya, painted a pathetic picture of Mr Carman’s evening, telling the ABC he was “drunk and alone.”
According to the outlet, Mr Carman was with a different girl at the bar around 1am, before leaving the bar alone around 2am.
Another witness reportedly told the ABC that they witnessed Mr Carman approach Ms Donhomla and two of her friends on a beachside street about 3am.
Shocking images have revealed the moment friends of Tunchanok Donhomla, 17, confronted her accused killer, Simon Peter Carman, the day after her death.
Mr Carman was charged over the weekend with the alleged murder of Ms Donhomla, whose body was discovered inside a black suitcase dumped by a railway line in the early hours of Saturday.
Police allege that Ms Donhomla was strangled to death by Mr Carman following a dispute over payment for her company.
Ms Donhomla was found partially covered in similar-looking clothes to what she was seen wearing on CCTV footage outside Mr Carman’s apartment block.
