Two teenage homosexual boys, aged just 14 and 17, confessed to murdering
and hiding the body of a Transgender under the bed of a hotel following
their arrest by police on Sunday afternoon, August 21.
Guests at a hotel in Pattaya, Thailand were shocked after staff discovered a dead body underneath the bed where the boys had slept the previous night. The couple told police they had no idea the body was there.
The body of the victim was discovered by a maid after the couple had
already checked out of the hotel located on Soi Buakhao. As she was
cleaning the room, the hotel maid found a large amount of blood close to
the foot of the bed and raised the alarm.
Police attended the scene on Saturday
morning and found the body after they lifted up the mattress of the
bed. Police, who have sent the body for forensic examination to
determine the cause of death, said the unidentified victim had been
dead for around 3 days. On Friday,
a couple checked into the same room and immediately complained about a
foul smell and asked staff if they could spray some air freshener in
their room.
Pattaya police chief Pol Col Apichai Kropphet said officers had viewed
CCTV footage and identified two men they believe are the suspects. A
hunt for the killers was launched and within 24 hours investigators apprehended the two teenagers at a bus terminal waiting to board a bus bound for their hometown in Kora.
During questioning the pair admired to murder with the elder of the two
telling cops he strangled the bar worker with the help of his younger
friend who held her legs because the victim wanted to have sex with
him.
He went on to explain the pair had become friends via Facebook and she
encouraged the teenager to come to Pattaya and look for work offering
to help take care of him.
He arrived with his 14-year-old friend for company , he then booked the
hotel room and brought them food when she finished working at a local
bar.
All was fine until Thursday night when the trio returned to the room and the topic of sex came up.
The pair became involved in a heated argument when the teenager turned
down her request for sex that led to a physical altercation that
ultimately resulted in murder.
The elder teen admitted he went into a rage after hearing
the transgender's proposition for sex as he believed she wanted to help
him without anything in return which turned out not to be the case.
The pair have been charged with premeditated murder and concealment of a body, with other charges likely to follow.
