Chilling new details have emerged just days after a Perth man allegedly murdered a girl in Thailand and stuffed her body in a suitcase.<\/p>\n

Simon Carman, 45, is facing the death penalty after being charged over the death of 17-year-old Tunchanok Donhomla.<\/p>\n

The teenager\u2019s body was found in a suitcase near railway tracks just outside Pattaya, about 10 minutes from the hotel where Mr Carman was staying on Saturday morning.<\/p>\n

It is alleged Mr Carman engaged the teenager for sex before killing her. He denies murdering her, claiming he acted in self-defence after allegedly being attacked during a payment dispute.<\/p>\n

Mr Carman has since been charged with murder, concealing a body, moving or destroying a body, and an offence relating to taking a minor aged between 15 and 18 for sexual purposes.<\/p>\n

However, in a gruesome revelation, this is not the first time a woman has been found dead in a suitcase in Pattaya.<\/p>\n

According to DailyMail<\/a>, two other bodies have been discovered stuffed into suitcases in the last three years.<\/p>\n

PerthNow does not suggest Mr Carman has any connection with the two other bodies or that any allegation to that effect has been made.<\/p>\n

In September last year, a half-naked woman \u2014 who officers have still not been able to identify \u2014 was found dead and bound inside a suitcase floating in a reservoir.<\/p>\n

The suitcase was reportedly secured with heavy chains, padlocks and cable ties when a member of Thailand\u2019s national rowing team spotted it while training nearby.<\/p>\n

Police believe the woman is a foreigner in her early 30s who died from asphyxiation.<\/p>\n

The tragic discovery came just six months after another eerily similar find.<\/p>\n

In February 2025, a local fisherman\u2019s line became hooked on a suitcase floating in Ban Chang \u2014 just a 43 minute drive from Pattaya city.<\/p>\n

When police officers arrived to inspect the contents of the suitcase, they found the naked body of a woman.<\/p>\n

The suitcase had been weighed down with dumbbells, like the Pattaya murder.<\/p>\n

This woman has also not yet been identified.<\/p>\n","protected":false},"excerpt":{"rendered":"Chilling new details have emerged just days after a Perth man allegedly murdered a girl in Thailand and…\n","protected":false},"author":2,"featured_media":769083,"comment_status":"","ping_status":"","sticky":false,"template":"","format":"standard","meta":{"footnotes":""},"categories":[4],"tags":[64,63,44,1346],"class_list":["post-769082","post","type-post","status-publish","format-standard","has-post-thumbnail","category-australia","tag-au","tag-australia","tag-news","tag-world-news"],"_links":{"self":[{"href":"https:\/\/www.newsbeep.com\/au\/wp-json\/wp\/v2\/posts\/769082","targetHints":{"allow":["GET"]}}],"collection":[{"href":"https:\/\/www.newsbeep.com\/au\/wp-json\/wp\/v2\/posts"}],"about":[{"href":"https:\/\/www.newsbeep.com\/au\/wp-json\/wp\/v2\/types\/post"}],"author":[{"embeddable":true,"href":"https:\/\/www.newsbeep.com\/au\/wp-json\/wp\/v2\/users\/2"}],"replies":[{"embeddable":true,"href":"https:\/\/www.newsbeep.com\/au\/wp-json\/wp\/v2\/comments?post=769082"}],"version-history":[{"count":0,"href":"https:\/\/www.newsbeep.com\/au\/wp-json\/wp\/v2\/posts\/769082\/revisions"}],"wp:featuredmedia":[{"embeddable":true,"href":"https:\/\/www.newsbeep.com\/au\/wp-json\/wp\/v2\/media\/769083"}],"wp:attachment":[{"href":"https:\/\/www.newsbeep.com\/au\/wp-json\/wp\/v2\/media?parent=769082"}],"wp:term":[{"taxonomy":"category","embeddable":true,"href":"https:\/\/www.newsbeep.com\/au\/wp-json\/wp\/v2\/categories?post=769082"},{"taxonomy":"post_tag","embeddable":true,"href":"https:\/\/www.newsbeep.com\/au\/wp-json\/wp\/v2\/tags?post=769082"}],"curies":[{"name":"wp","href":"https:\/\/api.w.org\/{rel}","templated":true}]}}
