Perth man Simon Peter Carman, accused of strangling 19-year-old Tunchanok Donhomla and placing her body in a suitcase, is alleged to have been seen at a Thai bar hours before her death. Both outlets report that local witnesses say Carman was drinking at the venue with a sex worker and that he allegedly rejected the sex worker. The account is presented as witness testimony rather than a confirmed fact, and it is framed as occurring “hours before” the alleged murder. Donhomla’s death is the central incident in the allegations, with prosecutors alleging she was killed by Carman and that her body was later concealed in a suitcase. The reports also describe the alleged sighting as part of the timeline leading up to the death, according to witnesses who were present at the bar. The articles do not provide additional verified details about where the investigation stands beyond the allegation, and they do not indicate that Carman has been convicted.
