Brit gal raped and beaten on Ko Samui
Brit Beaten,Raped & Robbed By Samui taxi Driver
Briton dragged from taxi and raped on Thai coconut plantation A 28-year British tourist was raped by her taxi driver on the Thai holiday island of Koh Samui, police said. By Andrew Drummond in Bangkok Published: 7:59PM BST 27 Sep 2009 Koh Samui has been the scene of a number of rapes of British and foreign tourists Photo: GETTY The woman hired the taxi to take her back to her hotel, but instead was driven to a coconut plantation, where she was beaten and raped. After the attack she was then robbed of her cash and dumped by the road to walk home. On Sunday, police charged a 21-yr-old local taxi driver with rape. They are questioning an accomplice who used his pick-up to dump the woman referred to as "Lily" (not real name) afterwards and then robbed her of 1,700 Thai baht (£32) Police on Koh Samui say that the 21-yr-old driver picked up the woman, an English Language teacher, as a fare early on Saturday morning in Chaweang Beach, but drove past the woman's lodgings in Lamai Beach and took her instead to house in coconut plantation. "He dragged her out of the car against her will and beat her in the process. He then raped her in the house," said Paiboon Krajakchan, the deputy police commander. "His friend arrived in a pick-up and then transferred the semi- conscious woman to a pick-up truck and dumped her beside the road near Lamai. He took all her money. "We are treating this matter seriously. It is important that Koh Samui is seen as a safe destination for tourists," he said. Koh Samui has been the scene of a number of rapes of British and foreign tourists. The most infamous case was that of Katherine Horton, who was raped and murdered on Lamai Beach on New Year's Day 2006 by two fisherman. The fishermen were sentenced to death, reduced later to life imprisonment. |
