At 11:30 pm Wednesday ( Nov11) Lt. Peerasit Noopayan arrived at Twin Brothers restaurant near Surin Beach where the alleged attempted rape and trespass had taken place.
They found residents had restrained the Burmese suspect, Abdol, 22, and his accomplice, Mow, 21.
Abdol had cuts to his head and had bruises all over his body. Mow, too, had taken a few punches. Rescuers gave Abdol first aid and took him to Thalang Hospital to stitch his head wounds.
The 12-year-old girl told police she was sleeping in the bedroom (toward the back of the shop) while her grandmother and parents were in the front of the shop. “Someone grabbed me. I woke up and jumped, which caused him to poke his finger into my eyes, So then I screamed.” the girl said.
Abdol ran into the woods but relatives and neighbours caught him and beat him up. At the same time, residents spotted Mow, who was waiting outside and he too was caught.
Both men were charged with trespassing and living in Thailand illegally.
