The Crime That Stunned Pattaya
On April 25th, Pattaya police were alerted to a shocking crime:
A Chinese national, identified as Fu, had killed a Thai transgender individual after a violent confrontation inside a rented room.
Fu was apprehended the next day at Suvarnabhumi International Airport, attempting to flee back to China. He has since been returned to Pattaya Police Station for further investigation and legal proceedings.
Suspect’s Grim Confession
With a somber expression and visible scratch marks on his face — injuries allegedly sustained during the fight — Fu confessed under questioning, with the help of an immigration translator.
Here’s what he revealed:
- Meeting: On the evening of April 25, Fu met the victim at South Pattaya Beach.
- Agreement: They agreed on a paid sexual encounter for 8,000 baht.
- Altercation: Midway, the victim refused to continue and declined to refund part of the payment, sparking a violent argument.
- Murder: Fu claimed he was kicked off the bed, lost his temper, and strangled the victim to death in a fit of rage.
Chilling Details of the Murder Scene
After the killing, the story takes an even darker turn:
- Fu dragged the body into the bathroom.
- He used scissors to cut open the victim’s chest and remove silicone implants.
- He admitted to a morbid curiosity, which led him to cut from the neck to the genital area and extract the heart.
- The left lung was reported missing, but Fu denies any knowledge of its whereabouts.
Fu stated that he cleaned the crime scene, washed off blood traces, and slept before buying a ticket to leave Thailand the following morning.
Suspect’s Mental State and Background
When asked if he had a history of mental illness, Fu simply said, “I don’t know,” adding he had never sought treatment.
Fu maintained that the victim initiated the physical attack, triggering his violent reaction.
He also apologized to the victim's family during questioning, claiming he never intended things to escalate to murder.
Background information:
- Fu worked in welding back in China.
- He had traveled to Thailand three times, twice independently, once on a tour.
- He previously saw Thailand as a safe and welcoming country.
Investigative Progress and Pending Questions
Police investigations uncovered:
- Fu purchased scissors before meeting the victim — he claimed it was intended for "personal defense."
- Surveillance footage showed Fu carrying a plastic bag after the murder. While suspicions rose about hidden body parts, Fu insisted it only contained water bottles.
Currently, authorities are:
- Awaiting full autopsy results to explain the missing lung.
- Preparing a crime scene reenactment with Fu's cooperation.
Pattaya Police confirmed there is substantial evidence and full confession to proceed with legal action.
