Australian Man Pleads Not Guilty in Thailand Killing | Auckland News

Australian man Simon Peter Carman, 45, has pleaded not guilty to murder and other serious charges in Thailand after allegedly killing 17-year-old Tunchanok Donhomla in June. Facing accusations including kidnapping for indecent purposes and hiding a body, Carman claims self-defense and seeks bail — a request prosecutors are resisting.
