Teacher is raped on holiday isle
A BRITISH teacher has been raped on a tropical holiday island.
The 28-year-old was dragged screaming into a house on a coconut plantation on Koh Samui, Thailand, after she was abducted by a taxi driver.
The English language teacher had hailed the taxi to take her back to her lodgings in the early hours of Saturday after a night out. Her money was also stolen. Police yesterday charged a 21-year-old taxi driver with rape and robbery.
It is the latest of a series of rapes of tourists on Koh Samui.
Backpacking student Katherine Horton, 21, of Cardiff, was raped and murdered on a beach on New Year’s Day 2006 by two men who boasted she was “delicious”.
