A Chinese man accused of kidnapping a Taiwanese person who escaped from his car after it was involved in an incident in Bangkok may be detained by the Criminal Court, according to authorities.

Before deciding whether to file a murder charge as well, the authorities say they want to question the gentleman further while they wait for the results of the medical record.

According to Pol Maj Gen Atthaporn Wongsiripreeda, chief of Metropolitan Police Division 1, Zhao Wulin, 36, admitted to all costs during the preliminary investigation.

According to Pol Maj Gen Atthaporn, the suspect is accused of unlawful hold, blackmail, abuse, and sexual abuse. If a health exam of the victim backs up the accusation, she will also be charged with rape.

On Thursday, Mr. Zhao was detained on Rama IX Road in the Huai Khwang neighborhood close to the Si Rat Expressway after his saloon was involved in an accident that allowed the sufferer to flee.

The girl, whose hands and legs were tied, was able to free herself and call a car after he got out of his car to speak with the driver of the other car.

The driver of the other car, Sompong Sisod, 33, claimed he did not observe anything unusual and was surprised when Mr. Zhao was taken into custody while they awaited the arrival of an insurance agent.

The victim, who is 27 years old, reportedly works as a seller for plastic surgery procedures in South Korea, according to the police. She frequently travels to the nation while on a holiday card.

She next traveled to Thailand on September 2 and met the suspect through a mobile app thanks to an acquaintance. Before meeting on Wednesday at a barbeque restaurant in Bangkok, they had been messaging each other on the software for ten days.

The target admitted to the police that she felt lightheaded after eating and drinking beer and was unable to recall what transpired next.

The following day, she spent the night in a lodge in the Ramkhamhaeng neighborhood. She was informed by the suspect that he would get her to Pattaya.

She claimed that he choked and threatened her on their way thither. After that, he bound her and demanded a payment of about 1 million baht, or 200 000 yuan.

When the injury happened, she asked a friend to exchange$ 50,000 to her profile, and they were about to withdraw the funds.

Police claimed to have discovered the victim’s tie-up rope as well as cash in the car that was for 100,000 baht and unspecified amounts of different currencies.

Mr. Zhao’s history was checked, and it was discovered that he entered Thailand on September 8 while working as a pilot in the United Arab Emirates.

Police claimed they thought the believe was acting alone and had not discovered any connections to any Chinese criminal groups.

One of the biggest security issues facing Thai law enforcement in recent years has been kidnapping Chinese visitors for payment by Chinese crooks living in Thailand. Immigration authorities have officially been involved in the activities in some cases.

Following the president’s acceptance of a temporary visa-free program for Chinese visitors beginning later this month, Pol Maj Gen Atthaporn stated that police would step up measures to ensure visitor safety as visitors are anticipated to increase.
