A naked man who hid under a woman's bed to rape her in Loei, Thailand was arrested by police yesterday, 20 March
The man had attacked a 22-year-old waitress, who went home after her late-night shift on 18 March.
Coconuts Bangkok reported that the suspect had stripped naked and hid under her bed, waiting for her to get home so he could rape her.
Police have since revealed that the man was actually her neighbour who lives 10 metres away from her home
According to Sanook, as translated by Coconuts Bangkok, the 40-year-old suspect confessed to the incident after he was brought to the police station.
He admitted that he had broken into the woman's house and patiently waited for her, so he could rape her.
However, because the woman fought back, he fled the scene of the crime
She fought him off for 10 minutes while screaming for help from neighbours nearby.
The man then panicked and ran off, leaving behind his clothes, a kitchen knife, and condoms.
The unnamed victim was left with a cut on her left cheek and suffered a mild head trauma from the scuffle.
