BANGKOK — Thai police have arrested an Australian man after the body of a 17-year-old girl was discovered in a suitcase, authorities said on Saturday.
The suspect, who denies involvement in the teenager’s alleged abduction and murder, was taken into custody after an interrogation, a police official in the resort city of Pattaya told Agence France-Presse (AFP).
Investigators were awaiting the results of a post-mortem examination and “other evidence” in the case before filing charges, the official said.
