Koh Samui —
At 11:00 AM on November 2nd, 2024, Bo Phut police in Koh Samui received complaints from multiple individuals, including a male Myanmar worker, who reported being threatened and menaced with death by a foreign man.
Two more Thai women came forward, claiming they were verbally threatened and had their vehicle attacked by the same man. Witnesses described him holding an air gun in one hand and a machete in the other, shouting at them to “get out” before allegedly shooting at them with the air gun.
Later, while one of the victims was driving a motorcycle on the island’s main road, the foreign man reportedly overtook her, pointing an air gun out of his car window in an intimidating manner, according to the police.
On the same day, hotel staff alerted police to the foreign man’s disorderly behavior at his hotel, where he was seen throwing objects and allegedly brandishing weapons to threaten other guests.
Initially, the Danish suspect was arrested on charges of public disturbance and is undergoing psychiatric evaluation and drug testing as police proceed with further legal action.
He did not respond to the accusations but was seen smiling during police interrogation despite the serious charges and seemed confused and disoriented.
