Well that didn’t take long. After a regional manhunt, Akkaradej “Chon” Tunkae has been arrested on suspicion of murdering Swedish tourist Hanna Charlotta Backlund. Although he’s been hung, drawn and quartered by the Swedish press, it’s important to remember that this guy hasn’t been proved guilty yet.

I don’t have any more details because we just got word of this.

Addendum: A little update. It looks like the suspect actually gave gave himself up, which means he won’t face the death penalty. Apparently he was found in Ranong on his way to Burma.

Full story on the Gazette later today. I’ve had enough with this story for now.
