Simon Carman, a 45-year-old from Perth, has been held in a Pattaya remand prison for nearly three months charged with the murder of 17-year-old Thai local Tunchanok Donhomla, also known as 'Cake', in June. Carman is originally from Ballarat in Victoria and had previously lived in Albany and Casuarina in Perth before relocating to Thailand.

While living in Thailand, Carman became a regular at The Welcome Inn, a British pub, where he attended weekly Sunday roasts with a friend. Videos posted to the pub's Facebook page show Carman enjoying lamb roast with vegetables and Yorkshire pudding. His final recorded meal at the venue was posted approximately three weeks before the alleged murder on 25 June.

Carman has pleaded guilty to concealing the teenager's body but continues to deny the murder charge. He was reportedly wearing a West Coast Eagles guernsey when detained by police.
