She told the Jordanian "no"... he got pissed.

Is 'webcam performer' a nice name for a porno star?

Easy enought to analyze the chump of hair from her dead hand... Odds are it's the guy who tried to flee the country

A webcam performer?

Thais seem to love the word 'reckless' the victim had a "clump of hair" in her hand when found. Want to bet the one arrested MISSING a clump of hair is the one who pushed her off the balcony? That should be enough to change the Jordanian's charge to murder...

Lord knows I, and probably a few of you guys as well, in our younger days, out on the lash, in the wee hours, wind up in the strangest places, motivated by continued drinking and/or the promising idea of a shag.  Pay for play, or otherwise.

Weed, alcohol, condoms, 0430, in Party Town Phuket, and none of the lads wants to cooperate. 

That clump of hair in her hand, though.  

The 1 dude who squirted to the airport ain't lookin' too good.  

The Yank offering a vague, benign explanation doesn't inspire confidence either, amidst police observations and physical findings in the flat, at 0430, in party town Phuket.  

Could be she's simply a slovenly, fit InstaModel cum CamGirl without daily cleaning service in tough economic times/sanctions, etc.,  hence the accumulation of rubbish over the few days she'd been in that flat, before meeting this random collection of blokes, at +/- 0200, in church, where she invited them back to her flat for bible study and tea.

Could be.  Or it could be that Occam's Razor applies here.

Quack Quack.

It doesn't take a rocket scientist, or even Inspector Plod, to presume that the clump of hair in the victim's hand came from the person responsible for launching her on her last flight.

My money is on it being the A-rab arrested trying to leave the country in a rush.

Wasn’t her apartment.  

“Smirnova arrived in Phuket on May 25 and had been staying at another hotel in Patong on Soi Na Nai Ruam Jai 8.”
