Chinese man confesses to gruesome murder of transgender woman in Pattaya, claims he wanted to ‘Play with the Corpse’. PATTAYA, Thailand — A Chinese man admitted to killing a transgender woman because she rejected his sexual advances and kicked him off the bed, April 27. In a fit of rage, he strangled her to death before claiming, “I wanted to play with and prank the corpse.” He then used scissors to mutilate her body, cutting her chest and removing her silicone implants. The victim, identified as Woranan, a transgender woman, was gruesomely murdered by Mr. Tong Yung Fu, a Chinese national. Mr. Tong slit her chest from the neck to the genital area, removed her heart, and took out the silicone implants. Her left lung was also missing, though authorities confirmed that the suspect did not touch it. The incident occurred in a rental apartment on Soi Arunothai in central Pattaya. Woranan’s body was found in the bathroom of the apartment. Afterward, Mr. Tong attempted to flee Thailand and was apprehended at Suvarnabhumi Airport while attempting to board a flight back to Kunming, China.
