Boonlua Chatree
Police have arrested the first suspect in last week's stabbing
death of 44-year-old Tony Lindsey of Honolulu Hawaii.
Ms. Kritsana Chumkokkraud, 32, from Surat Thani was remanded to
custody on February 15, four days after she allegedly murdered the
American tourist for refusing her sexual services on Beach Road.

Ms. Kritsana Chumkokkraud from Surat Thani was arrested in
connection with the stabbing death of Tony Lindsey on February 11.

Lindsey was beaten and stabbed in the early hours of February 11 by
a prostitute and her pimp at the entrance to Soi 7, only 50 meters away
from the police station. Lindsey was taken to Pattaya Memorial Hospital
where he succumbed to his injuries.
Witnesses told police that they saw two suspects, a Thai man and a
Thai women, approach Lindsey on a pink Yamaha Mio motorcycle, license
plate No. 052, and begin talking to him. Lindsey subsequently ran
across the road to the entrance of Soi 7, where the Thai man allegedly
caught up with him and began kicking and punching him, knocking him to
the ground. The woman then allegedly walked over and stabbed him before
the pair made their getaway.
Four days later, on February 15, Pol. Cap. Sompob Khoohawan, deputy
investigator at the Pattaya Police Station, was able to track down Ms.
Kritsana Chumkokkraud, who is believed to be the woman who stabbed
Lindsey.
Police are still searching for the Thai male involved.
