Man charged with murdering Thai teen sent disturbing text messages after allegedly killing her: report
A sex worker has revealed the text messages an Australian man accused of murdering a 17-year-old reportedly sent before he allegedly attempted to dispose of the girl’s body.Ballarat-born Simon Peter Carman, 45, has been hit with a raft of charges, including murder, concealing and moving a body, and abducting a minor for indecent purposes, after the body of Tunchanok Donhomla was found stuffed inside a suitcase.In a chilling new detail, a sex worker claims she was messaging with Carman while Donhomla’s body was hidden in the bathroom of his Pattaya apartment.“I’m so tired,” Carman texted her, according to 7News, “I’m going to go for a swim today.”The woman is said to have panicked upon hearing hours later that Carman had been arrested and a body found in a suitcase.Police allege that Carman had hidden Donhomla’s body inside his bathroom for 18 hours while he spent the day shopping, eating, and doing his laundry.“From around 3:30 a.m.until about 9 p.m., when he disposed of the body, he appeared to go about his daily routine as usual.
