Australian Man Arrested in Thailand Murder

An Australian man, 45, is behind bars in Thailand after police linked him to the grisly death of a 17-year-old girl found inside a suitcase near railway tracks. Arrested at Bangkok’s airport, he’s charged with murder, hiding a body, and exploiting a minor — all while claiming she vanished while he slept and that he fought back in self-defense. A chilling voicemail from him offers condolences and warns other girls to be careful, while police found scratches on his body — which he blames on a spider. CCTV shows him entering a Pattaya hotel with the girl, then leaving alone with a suitcase. His friend filed a missing persons report, and Australia is providing consular aid as authorities race to complete their probe before court.
