ASIANS WITH ATTITUDES (A.W.A) on Instagram: "Canadian ‘p*d*ph*le’ caught with three underage boys in his room in the Philippines. The Bureau of Immigration Fugitive Search Unit has arrested a 73-year-old Canadian man and rescued three minors during an operation in Sta. Rosa, Philippines. The suspect faces multiple abuse cases in Thailand and Cambodia, including a conviction for a child sexual offence in Cambodia. Authorities discovered the minors inside the suspect’s bedroom, with one child lying on the bed next to him at the time of the arrest. An Interpol Green Notice had been issued against the foreigner, whose passport was cancelled in 2018 after he had already entered the Philippines. The suspect has been reported twice in the Philippines for abusing an underage male and is considered a severe threat to public safety. The alleged victim in each case remains a priority as the foreigner is now held in an immigration detention facility."

According to the warrant, he experienced memory loss for weeks afterward and was unable to remember the names of family members and common household objects.

https://www.instagram.com/asianswithattitudes/p/DaEbGDzzocG/

An Australian man has been arrested at Suvarnabhumi International Airport after police discovered the naked body of a 17-year-old girl stuffed inside a suitcase in Pattaya, Thailand.

The investigation began on 26 June after friends reported Thanchanok Donhomlao missing when she failed to return from entering a local condominium with a foreign national.

CCTV footage captured the foreign man dragging a large black suitcase out of the building on 25 June and transporting it on a motorcycle toward the railway tracks.

Police discovered the discarded suitcase in an overgrown area beside the tracks, confirming it contained the body of the 17-year-old alleged victim who showed signs of severe assault.

The suspect, identified as Mr Simon Peter Carman, a 46-year-old Australian national, was detained while trying to buy a ticket to flee the country.

Officers noted scratch marks on the neck and arms of Mr Carman, who claims the alleged victim disappeared from the room while he was asleep.

The suspect is being transported to the police station for interrogation under a court warrant for taking a minor from parental custody for indecent acts.
