Australian Simon Peter Carman arrested after teen prostitute found dead in suitcase
Simon Peter Carman, a 45-year-old Australian man,
has been charged in Thailand after the body of a
17-year-old Thai girl, Tunchanok Donhomla, was discovered stuffed inside a suitcase.
Local authorities used a comprehensive network of surveillance cameras to
track Carman’s casual public routines, leading to his arrest at Bangkok's Suvarnabhumi Airport
.
Timeline of the Incident
• Early Thursday Morning: CCTV footage from a Pattaya condominium complex captured Carman and Donhomla entering the building together hand-in-hand around 3:34 AM.
• Thursday Daytime: Investigators allege that after killing the teenager, Carman went about his normal routine, which included shopping, eating out, doing his laundry, and chatting with neighbours while her body remained in his room.
• Thursday Night: Around 9:30 PM, security footage showed Carman leaving through a back door carrying a large black suitcase. He strapped the bag onto a rented motor scooter and drove away.
• The Disposal: Footage tracked him heading toward a railway line. He vanished from camera view for nine minutes in an area with a blind spot before returning to his accommodation without the suitcase.
• Friday Afternoon: The victim's friends reported her missing after failing to reach her for over 24 hours. Pattaya police rapidly reviewed the building's CCTV and flagged Carman to immigration authorities.
• Saturday Early Hours: Carman was intercepted at Suvarnabhumi Airport at 1:15 AM just minutes before boarding a flight to Perth, Australia. At 1:30 AM, police located the discarded suitcase in a patch of thick grass near the railway tracks.
Evidence and Legal Status
The victim's body showed signs of a severe physical assault and heavy facial bruising.
When questioned by investigators regarding visible fingernail scratches on his neck and upper body,
Carman initially claimed they were from a spider bite.
Carman later claimed to police that the teenager had threatened him with a knife during a financial dispute, and that he
ad strangled her in self-defence. He has been formally charged with four major offences:
1. Murder
2. Concealment, destruction, or moving of a corpse
3. Taking a minor for indecent or sexual purposes
He is currently being held at Pattaya Prison.
If convicted under Thai law, he faces either life imprisonment or the death penalty.
Latest:
Simon Peter Carman's claims of
self-defence and his
changing alibis have been
closely detailed by investigators following his arrest.
Shift in Alibi
• Initial Claim: According to Pattaya City Police, Carman initially denied any knowledge of the crime.
He told investigators that Tunchanok Donhomla simply "disappeared from the room" while he was asleep and completely unaware of anything.
• The Self-Defence Claim: Once confronted with CCTV evidence showing him dragging a heavy suitcase out of the room,
Carman altered his narrative.
He claimed that the teenager had pulled a knife on him after an argument broke out over money.
He alleged that he reacted in self-defence, grabbing her neck with one hand while trying to wrestle the knife away with the other.
Custody Statements and Explanations
• "Out of My Control": While in police custody,
Carman spoke directly to a camera to deliver a message to the victim's family, saying:
"I feel bad for what happened to your daughter. It was out of my control. I know you'll be very sad, upset; same-same me."
He also added,
"Please tell other girls... just to be careful."
• The Scratch Marks:
When reporters and police quizzed Carman about prominent fingernail scratches visible across his face, neck, and arms, he
denied they were from a struggle.
He claimed, "I think it's a spider; they always get in here."
Police Response to Claims
Pattaya City Police Station Superintendent, Colonel Anek Sarathongyu, stated that
while the suspect can claim self-defence,
the physical evidence contradicts a simple accident or defensive struggle.
Investigators noted that the victim's face showed signs of
severe assault, including heavy bruising, swelling, and bleeding,
before her body was folded into the suitcase.
Carman remains in maximum security detention at Pattaya Prison as the case moves toward trial.
Quick observations: People in Thailand seem way too soft. The guy was deceptive and looked very guilty. Strong vibe of a psychopath.
Can you imagine her family hearing his jail house confession? What a POS! Does Thailand have the death penalty?
Just burn him, slowly. A little bit more each day. Make his time on earth an inescapable mental and physical torturescape. Keep him alive for as long as possible. This fucking prick does not understand cruelty. He must be taught through extensive, repeated physical torture.
Imagine finding a reason to kill a girl who'd prolly eat your ass for like $3.00
you gotta take some souvenirs to home, goddam boiii.![]()
No but imagine you lugging a suitcase with body, only in RL bru.
