Simon Peter Carman, a 45-year-old Australian man, has claimed he acted in self-defence when he allegedly killed Thai teenager Tunchanok Donhomla. In an exclusive interview with ABC's Foreign Correspondent, Carman said he fought the teenager to stop her from stabbing him.
The incident occurred in Thailand, where Carman is now facing murder charges. Details of the confrontation remain under investigation, and Carman's account has not been independently verified.
Thai authorities have not publicly commented on the self-defence claim. The case has drawn attention due to the involvement of a foreign national and the serious nature of the charges.
Carman remains in custody as legal proceedings continue. The ABC interview is part of ongoing coverage of the case.
