Police Search on Jomtien Beach for Missing Russian Girl - Pattaya People

 

The Sawang Boriboon Rescue Team were called out in the early hours of Thursday to Jomtien Beach to help search for a teenage Russian girl gone missing that evening.  On the shore the distraught mother had trouble in communicating with the team as she spoke no English, plus the fact that she was extremely drunk.  Twice she had to be forced from jumping into the sea as she believed her daughter had drowned.  Sea Rescue was already at work in speed boats searching the waters along Jomtien beach, but after hours of searching it was to no avail.  The woman was taken back to her hotel as plans were set to carry on the search during day break.  Then the twist in the tale struck everyone; as the woman was taken to her room, officers found that her daughter was sleeping soundly in bed, much to the embarrassment of the drunken mother. A report was made and possible legal procedures may occur for wasting police and Sawang Boriboon time.

The suspect wanted in connection with the murder of a bailed drug suspect over the weekend in Jomtien, has now given himself up to Police. On Sunday afternoon Pattaya Police confirmed they had formally arrested Khun Nut aged 34, whose real name is Khun Sa-hus who had confessed to the murder of Khun Somyot aged 39 outside of his Mother’s house in Jomtien on Saturday morning. A reconstruction of the murder was held on Sunday afternoon under the watchful eye of the Provincial Police Commander Police Major General Katcha. The suspect was wearing a bullet proof jacket and extra Police Officers were drafted in, as members of the victim’s family had promised retribution as soon as they saw the suspect. Khun Sa-hus confirmed he fled the scene following the shooting and hid his 38 Caliber firearm in bushes close to Makro Supermarket in Jomtien but he soon decided that because he was well known to Police and others as a prolific drug dealer in the area, the chances of him eluding capture were slim. He then handed himself in and since then has fully cooperated with Police investigators who were told that because he suspected the victim had named him as a drug dealer to Police, his arrest was inevitable and in revenge for this he decided to end the victim’s life. He was later charged with murder and awaits trial.

A Motorbike driver was killed in, what is thought to be, a single-vehicle road accident on the Sukhumvit Road in Jomtien early on Thursday Morning. The dead man, who reportedly clipped the curb and was catapulted off his bike into a pile of large concrete blocks on the pavement, was carrying no ID and is thought to be in his mid-thirties. A witness claimed he saw the bike approach at speed and it initially clipped a refuse bin on the side of the road. The bike then hit the pavement throwing the driver onto the stones. A sticker on the front of the bike suggested he may be a resident at a Government Housing Project in the Na-Jomtien area but his identity is still unknown. For now the body has been taken to the Morgue at Banglamung Hospital pending further investigations.
