        THAILAND-BANGKOK: Mr. Wongdee was arrested at home in Sukhumvit 23 road today after the police tracked him for a week. Mr. Wongdee, a 30 year old designer was arrested as he killed Miss Sarah Cole, his 25 year old Russian girlfriend who he knew from a dating website and tried to rape her.  He knew her for 6 months before she decided flying to Bangkok and date with him.

        Mr. Wongdee confessed that “I asked to have sex with her 3 times but she refused. Until on 04 March 2012, I made an appointment to see her again at my condominium. I tried to rape her but she tried to run.” 
        He told the police that “because she screamed, I had to gag her mouth but she didn’t stop so I had to kill her.” He stabbed her 2 times in the chest.  When she was dead, he tried to stuff her in a luggage but it’s too small. “I have to cut her legs, arms and head.” He cleaned blood on floor and throw it down Chao Phraya River.
