Australian Michelle Smith ‘killed for unpaid dinner bill’

AUSTRALIAN travel agent Michelle Smith died because her killer could not pay a 300 baht ($9.40) bill for dinner, says Thai news agency Phuketwan.

A tall Thai man ate out at a restaurant in Chalong, on Phuket’s east coast, with a friend on Wednesday night.

After he finished the meal, he told the waiter he did not have the money to pay for it and would be back.
