Beaten to death with a pole
Murder in Thailand: defendant speaks of accident
The murder trial against a 37-year-old Moroccan man took place in Thailand on Monday. He allegedly beat Max H. from Upper Austria to death with an iron bar after a party, at least that is what the public prosecutor's office accuses him of. The accused spoke of an accident in court.
In February of this year, the Upper Austrian Max H. was brutally murdered on the Thai island of Koh Phangan. The 42-year-old had been working and living as a DJ on the island for years. A Moroccan (37) is suspected of the crime - he is said to have beaten the Upper Austrian to death with an iron bar during an argument.
New lawyer appointed
The main hearing took place in Thailand on Monday. The Moroccan confessed, but spoke of an accident - as the victim's brother told the "Krone" newspaper. Because he appointed a new lawyer, the trial was postponed until July 19. The family witnessed the trial from afar, with only the lawyer present.
