The family of 17-year-old Thai teenager Thanchanok Donhomla, who has been found dead in a suitcase, has taken her body back to her home region in Thailand’s north-east following an autopsy in Bangkok. Multiple outlets report that the autopsy results indicate she died by strangulation. Her death has been attributed, in police allegations and court proceedings, to Australian truck driver Simon Peter Carman, 45, who is accused of murdering the teenager and placing her in a suitcase. The family has publicly renewed calls for Carman to be sentenced to death, according to reporting from outlets including Stuff and The Age, as well as the Sydney Morning Herald and Brisbane Times. The accounts describe the family’s efforts to reclaim the body and carry out repatriation after the forensic examination. While the coverage focuses on the family’s grief and their demand for the maximum penalty, the reporting is consistent that the case involves an alleged murder, a body found in a suitcase, and an autopsy in Bangkok concluding strangulation as the cause of death.
