South African hunted after female Thai jeweler bludgeoned to death in Bangkok hotel

All borders have been notified after a female Thai jeweler was found bludgeoned to death in a Lat Prao hotel room on Sunday. 

CCTV indicates that the murderer is likely to be a South African man. 

Susama Reunrit, 35, from Kanchanaburi was found wrapped in a blanket on the floor by her bed in her room on the 6th floor of the hotel in Lat Prao Soi 130, Klong Jan, Bangkapi.

She had head trauma. There was blood on the bed and fragments of the toilet bowl in the room. 

Earlier the cashier had called to the room as it was time to pay. Customer service had contacted a man from the Netherlands who was a friend of Susama in an adjoining room. 

They used a spare key to gain entry  to her room and found her dead and called the cops, reported Thai Rath.

The evidence is that Susama checked into the hotel at 9.50 pm on Saturday night then she went out to eat. She returned at 4 am. 

At 8 am a man called Mzwakhe Memela, 38, from South Africa was seen on CCTV going into her room. He left looking suspicious at 8.45 am. 

No one else was seen going into the room. 

Lat Prao police contacted immigration as the hunt for Memela began.
