"Farang" Attacked at Yensabai Condo by Two Sunee Plaza Boys

[Gaybutton]

And, of course, one of the boys was 16 years old. The "farang" is 79 years old. There are two stories, one in the Pattaya City News and the other in the Pattaya Daily News, both with photos. The better photos appear on the Pattaya City News site, but the better story appears on the Pattaya Daily News site.

 

Apparently the boys made their arrangements, according to the Pattaya Daily News story, with the "farang" online, which is yet another reason to be very careful about online hookups.

 

Please . . . make damned sure to check any boy's ID card before taking him to your room. Make sure it is actually his, that he is at least 18 years old, and that the front desk or security guard holds their ID card while the boy(s) is with you and will not give the card back to the boy unless you personally accompany the boy to retrieve his card or they call your room to make sure everything is ok first.

 

I've posted this recommendation many times before. Now you can see, yet again, the possible consequences when people fail to do that.

 

I think I recognize the boy in the photos, identified as "Tong." I believe I've seen him at the beach several times. Since the other boy, yet to be arrested, is 16 years old, don't be too surprised if the "farang" ends up charged for sex with a minor along with everything else he is going through. Was it worth it?

Met on the Net: Two Boys Attack and Rob Foreign Man

 

A foreign man, who met two young boys through Internet chatting, agreed to pay each of them five hundred baht for sexual services. The boys allegedly attacked and stabbed him after he requested a second session, but refused to pay extra. One boy was arrested, but the other escaped. Apparently, the boys were upset that they weren’t paid; so they helped themselves to the man’s belongings, including credit cards. One of the boys was caught attempting to use the cards get cash and to purchase goods at Big C.

 

On 27 August, 2007, at 3 AM, Pattaya Investigator, Police Major Chaigrit Thong-Inn, rushed to Room 618 at Yensabai Condo, after being notified that a foreigner had been attacked. When he arrived at the room, he found Mr. Stapylton Cockpurn, from England, lying on the bed, naked; his hands and feet bound by a bed sheet. He had been hit on his face, body, arms and legs and stabbed. His body was covered with blood. Bloody footprints were observed on the floor and Mr. Cockpurn’s belongings were scattered about the room. Police immediately took the victim to Banglamung Hospital.

 

At some point after bringing the two boys to his room, condo staff observed the boys rushing from the condo with blood-stained shirts. They rushed to Mr. Cockpurn’s room and saw that he had been attacked, and called police.

 

Later in the day, police were notified by security, from the South Pattaya branch of Big C that a young man, who possessed a number of ATM and credit cards, was attempting to withdraw money from an ATM terminal. He had also used one of the credit cards to buy goods at the store. Suspicious that these were not his cards, they detained him and called the authorities.

 

Police rushed to Big C to see the young man, Mr. Phisitchai Boonprok’s (nickname Tong, age18). Searching in his backpack, police found six credit cards, a Nokia mobile phone, three Rolex watches, a silver bracelet, 1500 baht cash and a foot long, blood stained knife. Police confiscated the evidence and brought Mr. Tong to the police station.

 

Mr. Tong confessed that he and his friend, nicknaned "Gang" (16), from Srisaket Province, attacked Mr. Cockpurn. He said that they had met the victim through Internet chatting and that Mr. Cockpurn had agreed to pay each boy five hundred baht for sexual services. He claimed that Mr. Cockpurn was not satisfied with the experience and wanted them to perform again without extra compensation. This did not sit well with the two boys, who attacked Mr. Cockpurn and took various belongings, including the credit cards and cash. Mr. Tong claimed that Mr. Gang ran away and does not know where he lives. Mr. Tong was arrested and charged with various crimes. Police will attempt to find and arrest Mr. Gang, as well.

79 Year Old Englishman Seriously Hurt in Assault and Theft at his South Pattaya Apartment

 

Police Lieutenant Colonel Sirichai from Pattaya Police Station was called to the Yensabai Condotel in South Pattaya in the early hours of Monday Morning after security guards at the complex reported the discovery of an English Resident who had been repeatedly stabbed inside his room, which had also been ransacked. Rescue Workers arrived and attended to the seriously injured victim, Mr. Christopher Stapylton Cockburn aged 79 from Iver Heath in Buckinghamshire, England.

 

The security guards explained to Police that Mr. Cockburn had gone to his room earlier in the night with two young Thai men who were later seen leaving the complex in a hurry, which alerted the Guards to a potential problem. Inside the room, the victim was found with his hands and legs tied together with a sheet from the bed and blood stains around the room suggested he put up a fight before he was eventually restrained by the assailants.

 

The room safe had been opened and the contents taken. Police received descriptions of the two men who accompanied the victim and begun a hunt. In a stroke of luck, an incident occurred at the Big C Supercenter in South Pattaya on Monday Afternoon where a Thai Man attempted to use a Credit Card belonging to a foreigner to make a purchase totaling 23,000 Baht. The man was detained and the Police were called.

 

He was found to be in possession of a number of credit cards, two wrist watches, a gold necklace and a mobile phone. The name on the credit cards matched the name of the victim and back at the Stationhouse Khun Pisitchai aged 19 explained he met the victim in Soi Sunee Plaza in South Pattaya and, along with a 16 year old boy; they accompanied the victim to his room. Khun Pisitchai confessed to the serious assault and robbery and was charged accordingly.

 

We understand Mr. Cockburn was taken to Banglamung Hospital where he remains in a serious condition after sustaining multiple stab wounds to his upper body and a head injury. The British Embassy in Bangkok is aware of the case and is attending to the victim.
