PHUKET CITY: The Phuket Provincial Court today sentenced Akkaradej (‘Chon’) Tankae to life imprisonment for the murder of Swedish tourist Hanna Backlund, who was stabbed to death at Mai Khao Beach in broad daylight on March 15.
The sentence was commuted from death to life imprisonment because Chon made a full confession, said the judge, who made reference to the negative impact the case had on the island’s tourism industry.
