The body of a 15-year-old girl accused of murdering a British boy in Thailand has been discovered.
Woramet Ben Taota, a dual national, was battered to death last Saturday after meeting with notorious drug dealer Chaiwat Boongarin near his home in the country’s northern province of Lampang.
Suraphltchaya Khamsa, a 15-year-old girl who had been affiliated with the 44-year-old criminal as part of a convoluted honey-trap, had enticed the 16-year-old British boy there.
The body of a 15-year-old girl accused of luring a British boy to his death in Thailand has been discovered in the woods.
The two were last seen riding out on Ben’s motorbike on Saturday night.
Ben’s body was recovered the next day, Sunday, in woods approximately three miles from his house.
Wat, the murderer, confessed to killing Ben but first claimed to know nothing about Suraphltchaya Khamsa’s whereabouts.
Suraphltchaya Khamsa’s family felt she was alive but being detained against her will, so police launched a desperate search for her.
‘I am terribly frightened about my grand-daughter,’ her anxious grandfather, 60-year-old farmer Charoon Annaeua, told MailOnline.
‘It’s been about a week and we still don’t know what happened to her.
‘We have been searching for her. We have looked all through the village, the farmland, and in the foothills of the mountains.
‘I fear she is being held against her will. It is a terrible thing that Wat has done.’
But this morning officers revealed the grim news that they had found her body buried in woodland just off the main north-south highway near Lampang.
A police source told MailOnline: ‘The search team have found her body. The killer Wat led officers to her grave.
Ben’s parents, Steven and Ooy have told of their devastation at his death.
They told MailOnline: ‘We are heart-broken. Words cannot describe our pain.
‘Ben was lured to meet his killer in some kind of honey trap set by this young girl.’
