Transsexual arrested following recent South Pattaya murder.
Last week we reported on a murder which took place at the Marina Inn Plaza Hotel in Soi Yensabai, South Pattaya. Khun Wannigar aged 27 was brutally stabbed to death and since the day of the Murder, last Friday, Police have been investigating the case and searching for possible suspects in the case. Khun Wannigar was known to be living in the room with her Transsexual friend who was not named as one of the suspects at the time as Police did not want him to know he was wanted in connection with the murder.
On Tuesday Morning Police Colonel Nopadon, the Chief of Pattaya Police, announced they had arrested the victims roommate, named as Khun Sarayut aged 23, who confessed to killing the woman over fake class 1 drugs which were purchased by the suspect and were given to the victim to smoke. Khun Wannigar had given her roommate 1,000 Baht to purchase Crystal Methamphetamine, however the drug was not available and the woman instructed her roommate to purchase 3 Yabba Tablets instead.
Khun Sarayut arrived with the drugs and Khun Wannigar prepared to smoke the class 1 drug but realized the tablets were fake and entered into an argument with Khun Sarayut. It soon progressed into a physical altercation and by his own admission, Khun Sarayut stabbed Khun Wannigar to death. He is now facing a charge of murder and is currently in a local remand prison awaiting a court appearance.
