Body of teenage girl accused of luring Brit boy, 16, to forest in Thailand where he was battered to death found in woods

THE body of a teenage girl accused of luring a Brit boy, 16, to a forest in Thailand where he was battered to death has been discovered. Suraphltchaya Khamsa, 16, was found buried in a shallow grave just three miles from where Woramet Ben Taota was discovered on May 7, cops said.

They reportedly broke down in tears when it emerged their daughter had been murdered. Police have launched a probe into Chaiwat Boongarin, 44, who allegedly admitted killing Ben but denied murdering Suraphltchaya. He is likely to face the death penalty if convicted of either of the alleged charges, it was reported. Mongkol Sampawapol, the commander of Lampang Provincial Police, said: “Police received intelligence gathered from the search operation about the location of the body. “The suspect who admitted to killing the boy denies killing the girl. “He says that somebody else attacked her and buried her body in the woods. “We suspect that the suspect is responsible for both murders, however, police will also continue investigating the deaths to check if anybody else was involved. “The female victim’s body is now being sent to hospital for an autopsy to find traces of rape or sexual assault, because the suspect has a history of these crimes. “There were signs of bruising on her face and it is expected that she was hit with a solid object until she died.” Suraphltchaya and Ben were last seen together riding a motorcycle on May 6, after visiting her grandfather earlier in the afternoon. Ben was found dead the next morning with severe head wounds. His body had been dumped in woodland but had not been buried. His phone and cash from his wallet were missing. Local thug Chaiwat was later identified from CCTV riding a black Honda motorcycle around the area at the time of the death. He allegedly later tried to hide the vehicle in a friend’s shed before changing to a new bike. Chaiwat admitted to killing Ben. He said his motive was revenge for a drug deal in which the youngster had stolen tablets from him. Earlier this week, Ben’s devastated father Steven Graham, 60, confronted the alleged killer during a chaotic crime reconstruction on Wednesday. Steven said: “Look me in the eye, you coward. “May you rot in hell.” At the time, he later told local media: “It was dreadful to see [Boongarin], just ghastly. “And the girl is still missing… she was the girl who was on the back of Ben’s motorbike and they went together to where this bloke was.” THIS IS A DEVELOPING STORY… The Sun is your go to destination for the best celebrity news, football news, real-life stories, jaw-dropping pictures and must-see video.
