AN ITALIAN tourist has been killed by a bottle-swinging ladyboy in a wild disturbance on Soi Paradise.
The killing took place at 5.30am on Saturday morning, 17th April 2010, more than three hours after Patong's bars are supposed to close... naughty naughty!
Cops said the Italian idiot, named as Simone Tene Riello, 28, wandered around the renowned heartland of Patong's red light district, close to the Royal Paradise Resort, punching complete strangers.
Unfortunately for him when he hit ladyboy Sathid Boonnuchit, 34, outside one of the soi's gay bars, he provoked a reaction he did not anticipate. The Italian punched the katoey twice, then Khun Sathid smashed a beer bottle over the head of Mr Riello, according to Colonel Jakapong Luang-On of Kathu police station.
Mr Riello was treated in Patong Hospital for head injuries then sent on about 9am to Vachira Hospital for better treatment. He died there about 10.30am yesterday.
Khun Sathid was arrested yesterday and asked for bail but her paperwork was incomplete so she is being held at the Phuket Provincial Court jailhouse on a charge of murder.
Mr Riello's body is now at Vachira Hospital. Colonel Jakapong said it appeared the man had no friends on Phuket...
These bloody stupid tourists just never learn!
