Body of 15-year-old girl accused of luring British boy to his death in Thailand is found in woods 

The body of a glamorous teenager accused of luring a British boy to his death in Thailand has been found, police announced today.

Dual-national Woramet Ben Taota was beaten to death last Saturday after meeting up with prolific drug dealer Chaiwat Boongarin close to his home in the country’s Lampang’s northern province.

The 16-year-old had been lured there by a 15-year-old girl Suraphltchaya Khamsa who had become associated with the 44-year-old convict as part of a twisted honey-trap.

The pair were last seen riding off together on Saturday night on Ben’s motorbike.

The killer, who is known as Wat, confessed to murdering Ben but initially claimed to know nothing of Suraphltchaya Khamsa’s where-abouts.

His British dad Steve Graham confronted his son’s killer after making a dramatic dash from the UK after learning of the murder.

Police launched a desperate search for Suraphltchaya Khamsa, who her family believed was alive but being held against her will.

Her desperate grandfather, 60-year-old farmer Charoon Annaeua told MailOnline: ‘I am very worried about my grand-daughter.

‘It’s been almost a week now and we don’t know what has happened to her.

‘We have been searching for her. We have looked all through the village, the farmland and in the foothills of the mountains.

‘I fear she is being held against her will. It is a terrible thing that Wat has done.’

But this morning officers revealed the grim news that they had found her body buried in woodland just off the main north-south highway near Lampang. 

Her parents and grandparents identified her body at the scene from the braces on her teeth and the jewelry she had been wearing. They broke down in tears when it emerged that their daughter had been murdered.

Police are now continuing to interrogate sex crimes convict Chaiwat Boongarin, 44, who allegedly admitted killing Ben but denies murdering Suraphltchaya, whose nickname was Ping Pong. He is likely to face the death penalty if convicted of either or both cases. 

Police say he denies killing Suraphltchaya.

A police source told MailOnline: ‘The search team have found her body. 

‘The killer Wat led officers to her grave. 

‘She had been murdered and buried in woods by the side of the main highway.’

Ben’s parents, Steven and Ooy have told of their devastation at his death.

They told MailOnline: ‘We are heart-broken. Words cannot describe our pain.

‘Ben was lured to meet his killer in some kind of honey trap set by this young girl.’

Earlier this week Ben’s father furiously confronted the man who murdered his son, screaming at him: ‘Look me in the eye, you b***ard’.

Shaking with rage, Steven Graham stared through the window of a police truck as sex crimes convict Chaiwat Boongarin, 44, was taken back to the spot where he murdered Woramet Ben Taota, 16, and dumped his body on Saturday.

The body of Mr Graham’s teenage son was discovered on Sunday in a dense forest in Lampang, northern Thailand, prompting the 60-year-old businessman to rush to the country from his home in Eastbourne, East Sussex.

Police Major General Mongkol Sampawapol, commander of Lampang Provincial Police, said: ‘Police received intelligence gathered from the search operation about the location of the body.

‘The suspect who admitted to killing the boy denies killing the girl. He says that somebody else attacked her and buried her body in the woods.

‘We suspect that the suspect is responsible for both murders. However, police will also continue investigating the deaths to check if anybody else was involved.

‘The female victim’s body is now being sent to hospital for an autopsy to find traces of rape or sexual assault, because the suspect has a history of these crimes.

‘There were signs of bruising on her face and it is expected that she was hit with a solid object until she died.’
