A 21-year-old British woman has been arrested in Thailand after allegedly fatally stabbing her boyfriend, according to local media reports.<\/p>\n

The Bangkok Post reported that on Thursday morning local time, officers found the body of a 34-year-old man, who operated a cannabis farm, in a luxury rental home in the Pattaya area, a beachside region two hours outside of Bangkok known for its large expat population and nightlife.<\/a><\/p>\n

Police officers found the man lying in a bathroom attached to a bedroom with multiple stab wounds, according to the paper. Police believe the man had been dead for six hours before they arrived.<\/p>\n

The victim\u2019s girlfriend was found sitting near the body. Police told the Bangkok Post that a 50cm machete-like knife had been washed clean in a sink.<\/p>\n

The woman claimed her partner had injured himself, but investigators found inconsistencies in her account, the paper said.<\/p>\n

The Bangkok Post added that the victim\u2019s body appeared to have been moved, while bloodstains and signs of a struggle were found throughout the house.<\/p>\n

Images from Pattaya Cable TV show police at the property while the young woman with red hair sits on a couch in a large room with purple curtains. In another clip, the woman is questioned by police outside the home.<\/p>\n

Cannabis is legal in Thailand and sold widely in stores.<\/p>\n

A spokesperson for the UK Foreign, Commonwealth and Development Office<\/a> said: \u201cWe are supporting the families of two British nationals in Thailand and are in contact with the local authorities.\u201d<\/p>\n","protected":false},"excerpt":{"rendered":"A 21-year-old British woman has been arrested in Thailand after allegedly fatally stabbing her boyfriend, according to local…\n","protected":false},"author":2,"featured_media":673366,"comment_status":"","ping_status":"","sticky":false,"template":"","format":"standard","meta":{"footnotes":""},"categories":[2],"tags":[49,50,51,47,52,48],"class_list":["post-673365","post","type-post","status-publish","format-standard","has-post-thumbnail","category-headlines","tag-headlines","tag-news","tag-top-news","tag-top-stories","tag-topnews","tag-topstories"],"_links":{"self":[{"href":"https:\/\/www.newsbeep.com\/uk\/wp-json\/wp\/v2\/posts\/673365","targetHints":{"allow":["GET"]}}],"collection":[{"href":"https:\/\/www.newsbeep.com\/uk\/wp-json\/wp\/v2\/posts"}],"about":[{"href":"https:\/\/www.newsbeep.com\/uk\/wp-json\/wp\/v2\/types\/post"}],"author":[{"embeddable":true,"href":"https:\/\/www.newsbeep.com\/uk\/wp-json\/wp\/v2\/users\/2"}],"replies":[{"embeddable":true,"href":"https:\/\/www.newsbeep.com\/uk\/wp-json\/wp\/v2\/comments?post=673365"}],"version-history":[{"count":0,"href":"https:\/\/www.newsbeep.com\/uk\/wp-json\/wp\/v2\/posts\/673365\/revisions"}],"wp:featuredmedia":[{"embeddable":true,"href":"https:\/\/www.newsbeep.com\/uk\/wp-json\/wp\/v2\/media\/673366"}],"wp:attachment":[{"href":"https:\/\/www.newsbeep.com\/uk\/wp-json\/wp\/v2\/media?parent=673365"}],"wp:term":[{"taxonomy":"category","embeddable":true,"href":"https:\/\/www.newsbeep.com\/uk\/wp-json\/wp\/v2\/categories?post=673365"},{"taxonomy":"post_tag","embeddable":true,"href":"https:\/\/www.newsbeep.com\/uk\/wp-json\/wp\/v2\/tags?post=673365"}],"curies":[{"name":"wp","href":"https:\/\/api.w.org\/{rel}","templated":true}]}}
