A man who told police he broke into a 20-year-old student's apartment in Pathum Thani to steal her panties on Friday has allegedly confessed to killing her after she caught him in the act.

Nattakorn Kamnula
Rawiwan Puangthong, a second-year student at Rajabhat Walai-alongkorn University, was found strangled to death in her apartment in Khlong Luang district on Friday.
She had a cut on her chin and a blanket wrapped around her face. Her hands were bound with a cord.
Investigators examined CCTV footage outside the building at the suspected time of the murder. They found footage of Nattakorn Kamnula, 27, a native of Surin outside the building.
Mr Nattakorn, who investigators said appeared agitated and had fresh scratches all over his body, allegedly confessed that he had climbed into the victim's room on the third floor through the unlocked balcony door to steal her panties.
Mr Nattakorn said the victim was in the room sleeping at the time but woke up when he entered the apartment.
He told police that he punched Rawiwan several times as she shouted for help and pinned her to the floor in an attempt to quiet her. She fought back so he hit her with a bottle, he said.
He then put underwear in her mouth and strangled her with a bra, then tied her hands with the cord.
The suspect said he took her purse and mobile phone and climbed back out the balcony door. He sold the phone for 13,000 baht.
Police said the suspect admitted that he broke into another apartment on Feb 5 and stole some valuables.

NEW ORLEANS (AP) — New Orleans police say a man who thought he was going into a motel room with two lingerie-clad women was beaten up and robbed when he tried to leave after discovering they were men.
Police say the two cross-dressers were joined by a man who had been in the bathroom of the motel room on Airline Highway in New Orleans.
Officer Garry Flot says in a news release that all three hit the man several times on the head and face, and each went through his pockets. They took his cash, cellphone and credit cards.
Flot says one suspect has been identified as 23-year-old Herbert James Bickham, who is known to wear women’s clothing and wigs, and to frequent the motel.
Flot won’t say how Bickham was identified.

A transvestite has been cleared of raping a transsexual at her Worcester flat after a "girlie night out" in a city pub.
Barry Dearlove, known as Christina, often travelled to the city to attend "Blush Nights" for the transgender community at the Brewery Tap in Lowesmoor.
The prosecution had alleged that on May 1, 2011, he went back to the victim's flat and attacked her in the bathroom while her partner was ill in another room.
But a jury at Worcester Crown Court found Mr Dearlove not guilty of rape after deliberating for seven hours over two days.


They also cleared him of an alternative charge of assault by penetration.
After the verdicts, the 32-year-old from South Park Avenue, Didcot, Oxfordshire, rushed from the courtroom in an emotional state.
The court heard that the complainant was born a man but had changed to a female identity and was awaiting a gender change operation.
She told police that Mr Dearlove kissed her passionately before forcibly having sex against her will.
She complained to a Worcester doctor who advised her to contact the police.
But in evidence, Mr Dearlove said only kissing and cuddling took place before he went to bed. He was tired and wanted to sleep.
When he later got a text message from the complainant saying "I forgive you for the other evening", he believed it only referred to their bedtime clinch. He was arrested in June 2011 at his home.
He insisted the Blush Night had been a normal "bubbly, giggly night out" where he drank alcohol but did not get drunk.
Mr Dearlove said he came out as a transvestite in 2004 and had met similar people from Worcester during nights out in London.
He made frequent visits to the city because he was involved in organising a "big bash" in Manchester.


Assault by penetration umm nice

Kuwaiti citizen, Bedoun transvestite arrested for sexual activity  ‘Couple’ caught in Sabahiya parking lot

KUWAIT CITY, Jan 9: A Kuwaiti citizen and a Bedoun transvestite were arrested recently in Sabahiya for their involvement in immoral activities.

According to security sources, while Ahmadi security men were patrolling Sabahiya, they noticed the driver of a Sports Utility Truck (SUT), which was parked in a lot, switching off the lights of his SUT as soon as he noticed the patrol vehicle.

Patrol officers approached the SUT and saw a couple sitting inside it. They checked their identities to discover the driver is a Kuwaiti citizen working at Housing Welfare Foundation while his passenger is a Bedoun cross-dresser.

Security men arrested them and referred them to the police station of the area, where during investigations, the Bedoun explained that he had met the Kuwaiti citizen four months ago in Khaitan and they had indulged in immoral sexual activity for which he received KD 10. The second time they met for the same reasons, he was paid KD 20 while the third time during which they were caught in the lot, he was paid KD 30 for his services.

A case was registered against them and they were referred to Public Prosecution for necessary legal action.

Whilst its illegal in Kuwait to be Gay or to crossdress and have sex in a SUT

It's perfectly okay for a Kuwaiti man to have sex with a goat on a motorcycle

NOBODY should have to live with the fear, anxiety and consequences of hate crime.
That’s the view of a Huddersfield man living a cross-dressing lifestyle.
Peter Dawes, known as Piper, is lead singer with a Huddersfield band and dresses in women’s clothing.
He argues that while racist abuse and homophobia have long been defined as hate crimes, many other sections of society can find themselves subjected to prejudice which can go unpunished.


People who don’t conform to gender norms and enjoy cross-dressing are one such group.
Piper, lead singer of Huddersfield ska band Wobbly Bob, outlined his views and why he hates being labelled as a ‘transvestite’.
“As part of our mission in Wobbly Bob, we are striving to help young people in the lesbian, gay, bisexual, and transgender (LGBT) community feel much more accepted in a world with only two widely accepted genders,” he said.
“That’s a mostly western model, by the way!
“There are tribes in South Africa with up to five genders and many for whom homosexuals are idolised.
“The western world has a long way to go before all humans can feel accepted within their own species, no matter how proud we feel of our progressive and accepting society.
“I didn’t realise quite how closed minded people were until I started on my own journey.
“Sex and gender are quite difficult to describe as, contrary to what many think, the whole thing is a massive set of sliding scales rather than black and white pigeon holes that humans can be put into.
“If pushed I say I am ‘gender neutral’ because psychologically, I feel no sway towards the ‘normal’ male or female genders.
“Outwardly, I tend to dress as a girl, even though I have a man’s body.
“If you ask me why, I couldn’t actually tell you.

“There appears to be a contradiction when I describe myself as gender neutral and wanting to look female.
“However, there is a big difference between your inward gender and your outward appearance.
“Just like cross-dressers define themselves as male or female and dress the opposite, I define as gender neutral and feel comfortable dressing as a woman. I’ve just never been interested in men’s clothing or style.
“When I was little, at parties I would look at all the men in their black suits, all looking the same, then I would look at the women.


“Beautiful dresses, make-up and hairstyles that seem to show how they see themselves on the inside.
“Women’s style is so much more appealing to me; therefore I strive, outwardly, to be as feminine as possible – chicken fillets and all!
“Six years ago, when I started Wobbly Bob, I hadn’t come out yet and even when I did, it was strictly off-stage.
“I soon realised that one can pretty much get away with anything on stage.
“As long as the audience enjoys the music, they’ll make you feel like a rock star whatever the hell you wear.
“I don’t like the term ‘transvestite’ as it conjures up images of bad drag queens and seedy situations, but as much as I hate the word, I’m actually OK with people describing us as ‘that band with the tranny’ because it means people remember us and it sets us apart from other performers.
“Outside the alternative scene though, the world is not so accepting and I can honestly say the amount of material online for young trans people still trying to come out, is shockingly poor.
“Hardly anyone outside the trans community will realise this as they have no reason to look into it.


“Many are of the opinion that the true nature of sex, gender and orientation don’t apply to them, but there are so many homosexual and transgendered people in Huddersfield alone, so the chances of you meeting one of us at least once is extremely high.
“Worst of all, there are many who believe that the LGBT community is like a small, misguided cult.
“In some cases, I have known people in Huddersfield to be physically assaulted because of their sexual orientation.
“Thankfully, I personally have never been physically abused but I often get pointed at and sniggered about in the street.


“Some act like I can’t hear them and shout it out loud and some say it quietly.
“But I always hear it and it always hurts.
“Sometimes they even shout homophobic slurs.
“The workplace is probably the worst though to be honest. I tone down my look a lot for work as most people there don’t understand the transgender thing. But even my long hair and eyeliner sometimes gets comments from my workmates.
“Often the first thing I’ll get asked is: ‘So are you actually gay or do you just like wearing dresses?’
“I’ve never been able to understand that one but unfortunately it is one of the most common misnomers about trans people that because they dress like a girl they must therefore be homosexual.
“First of all, I see no reason to defend myself against being accused of being gay as there’s nothing wrong with that whatsoever, but it confuses me as there is no link whatsoever between the way you look, dress or act and your sexual orientation.
“To those who think that way, I ask you, do you not think it might be the tiniest bit counterproductive, when trying to attract a gay man, to dress like a woman?
“If there is anyone out there who would like to talk to someone who has already come out as trans, do not hesitate to contact me, Piper, via the band e-mail: wobblybobmusic@gmail.com.”
