A Nakhon Nayok man was arrested for allegedly raping and killing a dishwasher on Jomtien Beach.
Wichai Tangthong, 45, was taken into custody about 500 meters from the sand between Jomtien Soi 18 and 19 April 18. He was covered with sand and was carrying a bag with three pairs of shoes, including one pair that matched footprints left in the sand by the body of the 45-year-old victim.
The woman, who police did not identify, was buried in the sand and missing her pants. The body was sent for a forensic examination to determine cause of death and if she was raped.
Police said Wichai admitted he’d had sex with the woman, leaving bottles of liquor, soda and balm around the scene. But he insisted she died during lovemaking and he did not kill her.
Police are continuing their investigation.
