The Hanna Charlotta Backlund case involves the murder of a 27-year-old Swedish woman named Hanna Charlotta Backlund on the northern tip of the island of Phuket, Thailand on March 14, 2008. On the afternoon of her day of death, Backlund asked her travel companion to join her for a walk on the beach but her friend stayed at the grounds of the hotel on Mai Khao beach, where they camped in a tent. When Backlund failed to return, the friend went looking for her and found her body in the sand. She was attacked and, after fighting back, stabbed in the neck. Furthermore, she had apparent knife wounds on her body and her left hand. Police said they feared any clues left in the sand had been washed away by waves.〔(Swedish woman murdered on Thai beach )〕 On March 18, 2008, Thai police issued a warrant for the arrest of 31-year-old Akaradet Thatchai Tankay, a Moken sea gypsy who police believe murdered Hanna.〔(Bangkok Post News Article )〕 Described as a pool cleaner and gardener, police received reports of his tendency to spy on female tourists on the beach and believed he had fled to the Chumphon region of Thailand.
