A Swiss model has been killed in the Thai capital Bangkok. Police suspect the 24-year-old's husband of stabbing her to death in her home in the south-east of the city.

The internationally active model was killed last Thursday evening (local time), as Thai media unanimously reported on Wednesday. Her husband had taken her to hospital and claimed that the woman had wanted to commit suicide. The police arrested the man. After viewing surveillance images and the scene of the crime, they suspect him of trying to conceal the killing.

The Swiss Foreign Ministry confirmed the death of a Swiss citizen in Thailand to the Keystone-SDA news agency. The authorities did not want to give any further details.

The woman's former modeling agency told the Bangkok Post that the Swiss woman had worked for them for several years. The contract expired at the end of last year. Well-known models such as Gaile Lok and Danielle Graham also worked for the agency. According to the reports, the woman was also a Hong Kong national.
