Bangkok-
Pattaya Police and Royal Thai Immigration have revealed that a Chinese national, identified now as Mr. Tongyong Fu, 42, was arrested at Suvarnabhumi Airport while attempting to leave Thailand. He was wanted after the discovery of the body of a transgender woman in a Pattaya apartment earlier today, as we reported here.
Pattaya police have also released more details on what they believe was a murder, although the reasoning behind the incident is still unclear. Mr. Fu was being transported back to Pattaya City where he is expected to be interviewed with the assistance of an interpreter.
The body of the victim, identified only as 25 year old Woranan, a post-op transgender woman from Nong Khai, was found this morning by a housekeeper at the apartment complex in Pattaya who was checking the well-being of the occupants after reportedly hearing them arguing vehemently earlier in the morning.
The victim’s body was found in a bathroom of the apartment and had been brutally dismembered, with at least one organ missing, said Pattaya Police, and another organ placed next to her body.
The suspect was captured on CCTV leaving the complex in a hurry around 6:00 AM today with a suitcase. Pattaya police stated he had rented the room for a week and his passport showed he had visited Pattaya several times before as a tourist. They were planning to investigate how long the victim and the suspect knew each other and how they had met.
This is a developing story.
