A guy suspected of killing a Swiss visitor on this vacation island has been charged with murder and robbery.
Teerawat Thothip, 27, was charged with two counts, according to a police statement issued on the resort island on Sunday, and further charges might be made later.
On Monday, he was questioned at the police station. Some of his acquaintances were also summoned for questioning in connection with the suspect. A doctor from Vachira Phuket Hospital was there, and he was given further samples for DNA and other tests.
His wife, whose name was not revealed, came to the police station and gave them Mr Teerawat’s clothes from the day Sauvain-Weisskopf was killed.
