A woman described as a prostitute has plunged five floors to her death in what prosecutors have described as ‘extravagant balcony sex.’
The Thai prostitute plunged five floors to her death while having “very strange, extravagant sex” on a hotel balcony, authorities say.
The stills from the CCTV footage, which is understood to have come from local police, shows tragic Thai bar girl, Wannipa Janhuathon, walking home with Briton Reece Vella, 25.
Vella, from Birmingham, West Midlands, was arrested on Monday by Thai police in connection with her death.
Wannipam, who was known as Joy, fell naked along with a half-empty packet of sex drugs from an apartment in tourist hot spot Pattaya on Saturday morning.
Surveillance images show the pair walking next to each other just minutes after the Birmingham man, who is a convicted rapist, is supposed to have paid her 1,500 baht, or just £34, for sex.
Wannipa and Vella arrived at the Cosy Beach View condominium at 3.13am — some two hours and 15 minutes before she mysteriously fell to her death.
Wannipa, in black shorts and white top, is seen standing, bent forward slightly in a lift looking up at the number display as Vella, wearing a black shirt, army pattern shorts and trainers, stands behind her.
Hours later, she was dead, having suffered severe head injuries after falling while Vella fled on a motorbike allegedly with her phone.
The 26-year-old prostitute had been working at a bar in high-risk holiday resort in Pattaya, Thailand, for several months, helping to support her family who lived in the country’s north-east region.
Police are still investigating the exact circumstances surrounding the fall.
Vella had allegedly been staying illegally in the country on an expired visa and is being hunted by UK police.
He faces up to 10 years in prison or a fine of 200,000 Thai baht on a charge of causing death by negligent or reckless behaviour.
Police claim that the reckless and negligent behaviour was the sex on the balcony that directly caused Wannipa’s death.
Officers also claim that Vella had used a motorbike as a getaway vehicle, having fled the room in panic and that he had been staying in the country illegally for 59 days after his visa had expired.
He was later arrested on Sunday afternoon at 4pm at a nearby bar and admitted having sex with Wannipa in the bedroom and on the balcony. But Vella denies that he was having sex on the balcony when the girl fell to her death.
A police source close to the investigation said today: “The area that’s being investigated more is what happened that caused Wannipa to fall.
”Was she alone or was she having sex at that moment? We think that this kinky sex on the balcony caused her to fall.
“This is what we are trying to build the evidence to prove. The suspect then ran away.”
