Swedish tourist raped and murdered on Phuket

The woman was found stabbed to death on Mai Khao beach on the tourist
island of Phuket, said Thai police to AFP.

"It has been confirmed that the woman is Swedish and that she is
dead," said Tobias Nilsson at the Swedish foreign ministry.

"The woman was found on Saturday morning local time and police are
investigating the circumstances," Nilsson said.

According to a report in Dagens Nyheter the woman had been camping on
the beach with a travelling companion.

The woman took a stroll along the beach on Saturday morning while her
friend remained in their tent. After an hour and a half the friend
grew concerned and went out to look for her. The woman then found her
27-year-old companion dead further along the beach.

She is in a state of shock and is being cared for by Thai medical
staff and the Swedish consulate on Phuket.

Mai Khao beach is Phuket's longest beach, stretching over 12
kilometers. The beach is protected due to the sea turtles that come
ashore to lay there eggs and so is one of the island's calmest. The
pair were staying at Phuket Campground, right on the beach.
