The Thai island of Koh Phangan is very touristy.
A Spaniard has confessed to killing and dismembering the body of a man on the tourist island of Koh Phangan in southern Thailand, police said on Saturday. Body parts, including hips and thighs, were discovered in a landfill on Thursday. Police say they belong to a 44-year-old Colombian plastic surgeon, Edwin Arrieta Arteaga.
Very touristic island
The island of Koh Tao, also in the Gulf of Thailand, was the scene in 2014 of the murder of two young British tourists. Two Burmese immigrant workers have been sentenced to life in prison for this double murder, but their lawyers and human rights associations have accused the police of having extracted confessions from the two young accused, in order to solve as quickly as possible the affair which had shocked the kingdom.
