Autopsy result suggests Chinese tourist died of foul play at a waterfall in Hat Yai

13 Sept 05:41 Key points summarised by AI

Autopsy results indicate the Chinese tourist, Ms. Lei Tian, died before drowning, strongly suggesting foul play rather than suicide.
The victim had cuts and bruises, and her belongings—a torn passport, a phone without its SIM card, and a handbag—were found discarded, pointing to a deliberate attempt to conceal evidence.
Police are interrogating a Chinese man, identified as a colleague, who was seen with the victim at the waterfall via CCTV footage, despite his claims of not knowing her.
Surveillance footage shows the suspect leaving the waterfall alone about two hours after arriving with the victim, whose body was discovered the following day.
