British man arrested for bar girl death in Pattaya

January 08, 2018 | By Thai PBS

Pattaya police on Sunday (Jan 7 ) arrested a British man after suspecting he was responsible for the death of a Thai woman falling to her death from the fifth floor of a condominium in Pattaya on Saturday.



Mr Reece Blain Vella was arrested at a bar in Chon Buri’s Bang Lamung district. He was charged with recklessness causing death.

According to police investigation, Mr Vella was the last person who stayed with Kannikar Chanhuathon, 26.

Kannikar, a Sakon Nakhon native who worked at a bar in Pattaya, was found lying in a pool of blood at the condominium compound in early hours of Saturday. She was still alive when rescue workers arrived and did a CPR for her, but she died soon afterward.

Pol Col Apichai Krobpetch, superintendent of Muang Pattaya police station, said the suspect told the police that he had sex with Kannikar at the condominium’s balcony and the woman accidentally plunged to her death. He claimed the woman fell off the corridor accidentally.

Mr Vella said he took Kannikar’s mobile phone with him and went of a hideout at a resort in Bang Lamung.

Wonder what her name was?

Poor lass. All the way from Sakhon Nakhon, to the 6, and then to the floor.

Not really. She was already reported as 26 in another thread but nobody connected the two threads together. Oh wait it was detective L&F, at least in this thread.

Thus leading the monkeys straight to him.

Recklessness causing death carries a jail term of up to 10 years and or a fine of THB200,000 (about US$6,200).

You can't hurry love

She don't come easy
She's with a husband, 4 kids, an extended family and a farm.

So by him taking her phone it helped the police to easily locate him.

British tourist claims ‘strange sex’ led to fatal balcony fall of Thai bar-girl

Police detained Reece Vella, 25, at 4pm on Sunday following the death of bar girl Wannipa Janhuathon (pictured, left), 26, in the early hours of Saturday in Pattaya, Thailand

A British tourist has been arrested after a prostitute fell five floors to her death as they had ‘very strange, extravagant sex’ on a balcony at a Thai hotel.

Footage shows police detaining Reece Vella, 25, at 4pm on Sunday following the death of bar girl Wannipa Janhuathon, 26, in the early hours of Saturday in Pattaya, Thailand.
The prostitute suffered severe head injuries and multiple fractures after falling naked along with a half-empty packet of sex drugs from an apartment in the notorious tourist resort.

Police searched the empty room – finding clothes and used condoms – then began a manhunt for the Briton amid suspicions that he had fled the scene.
Vella, from Birmingham, West Midlands, was arrested yesterday afternoon at the nearby Route CC Roadhouse bar and was filmed in possession of two mobile phones – one of which police claim was Wannipa’s handset.

In footage from the arrest, the tourist – who arrived in Thailand between three and four months ago – is heard asking to be un-cuffed before laughing as he says: ‘Can I have a cigarette now?’

Vella, from Birmingham, West Midlands, was arrested yesterday (pictured) afternoon at the nearby Route CC Roadhouse bar
In footage from the arrest, the tourist – who arrived in Thailand between three and four months ago – is heard asking to be un-cuffed before laughing as he says: ‘Can I have a cigarette now?’.
He later admitted to police that he had taken the prostitute back to his rented room and ‘had sex in the bedroom then on the balcony before she fell’.
He then said he was ‘distraught’ and returned to a different hotel.
Police Lieutenant Narong Chantra, deputy head of investigations at Pattaya Police, said Vella had been arrested on suspicion of ‘negligence causing others to die’ and fled the scene knowing that he was staying in the country illegally on an expired visa.
He said: ‘CCTV from the incident was examined and after checking evidence at the hotel the suspect was found to be Mr Reece Vella, a British citizen, aged 25 years.

Thai police said that Vella arrived at the venue earlier in the evening before agreeing a fee of around 1,500 baht (£35) then leaving with Wannipa (pictured) and going to a room at the nearby Cosy Beach View condominium block

‘An arrest warrant was issued after evidence was presented to the court. The police case is that on the day of the incident Mr Vella visited the bar and paid to take Miss Wannipa away.
‘Miss Wannipa and Mr Vella were having very strange, extravagant sex on the balcony until she fell down below and died.

Mr Vella was in shock and knowing that he had overstayed his visa ran away and kept her mobile phone in his bag and left the room.


‘Mr Vella has been arrested on suspicion of negligence causing others to die, overstaying his visa in excess of 59 days and stealing a motorcycle at night.
‘The foreign suspect will be processed and prosecuted in accordance with the law

The bar girl, also known by the nickname Joy, had moved from her home town in Sakon Nakhon province, and was working at Sky Bar in the city’s bustling Soi 6 street which is lined with hundreds of prostitutes working in bars and massage parlours.
Thai police said that Vella arrived at the venue earlier in the evening before agreeing a fee of around 1,500 baht (£35) then leaving with Wannipa and going to a room at the nearby Cosy Beach View condominium block.
But police claim that the pair had been having what translates as ‘fancy or extravagant’ sex on the balcony before Wannipa fell to her death – along with a packet of Kamagra oral jelly which was found next to her body at around 5.30am local time.
Sources close to the investigation said that the packet of Viagra-related gel which fell along with her body, gave them the first clue that Wannipa had not been alone – and had actually been mid-way through sex when she plunged naked to the ground.

The building’s security guard Kriengsak Khamchachai, 23, described hearing a ‘loud crash’ as Wannipa hit the floor. He then walked over and saw her body in a pool of blood before raising the alarm.
Paramedics arrived and performed CPR on Wannipa – who was still alive – but she was later pronounced dead in hospital.
Devastated staff at the venue said Wannipa was one of the ‘happiest, friendliest girls anybody could wish to meet’.
They added in a statement: ‘As many of you know we lost our beautiful Joy [on Saturday] morning.
‘The place will not be the same without Joy’s big cheeky smile and sense of humour.
‘She really was a very special girl and left a lasting impression on all of us. She will remain in our hearts forever.’

British tourist claims 'strange sex' led to fatal balcony fall of Thai bar-girl

One thing that always irks me a little about these stories, all over the world as well, not just in Thailand. Seems to be that hookers are the only people in any trade that upon their demise are talked about solely by their profession, rather than their name. It's always "The Prostitute fell" or "The Prostitute did this" or "He hit The Prostitute". Why? These fuskers whould have a care. Their parent have just lost a child and all the press want to do is rub their noses in it that she sold her ass to people like Harry and Lulu for 20 quid.

Having the word bar girl or prostitute or hooker in the headlines will get more attention than saying a 25 year old mother......sick but that’s the way those bastards work.

Get that - but it's the continual use throughout the story that irks. No fucker actually reads these articles anyway. At the least they could use The Victim.

As you say - dirty rotten bastards.

The picture of him getting nicked is a classic.

I wonder if the barman made sure he paid his bill before he "had to leave".

Paid her, but then presumably took the money back (along with her phone).
Scum is too nice a word.
Please don't surrender him to UK police until after he's done his time in the scungiest, most over-crowded Thai prison. Then deport him.
