Three tourists are facing up to 10 years each in prison after being charged over the death of a Russian adult model found dead on a Thai island.

The holidaymakers were arrested after webcam girl Evgenia Smirnova, 37, plunged from an eighth-floor balcony in Phuket, Thailand, in the early hours of the morning on May 31.

Jamaal Smith, 38, from the U.S. was detained along with Natalia Kosenkova, 35, from Russia and Ahmad Radi Mustafa Alatoom, 28, from Jordan.

Police have now charged each of them with 'recklessness causing death' after drugs, alcohol and used condoms were found in the room at the Emerald Terrace Resort, close to the island's notorious Patong red light district.

Police chief Lieutenant General Amphon Buarapphon said: 'The three suspects have been charged with recklessness causing death. The investigation is not complete. More evidence is still being collected and there could be further charges.'

Staff at the Emerald Terrace Resort told police that four people, including Evgenia, had been staying in the 8th-floor room and there was a low-edged spiral staircase outside her room which connected to the 7th floor.

Police said the fall happened at the condominium block on the Phrabarami Road area of the city. It is a short walk from the Bangla Road red-light district, which is popular with Russian, Australian and British sex tourists.

Police attending the scene found bottles, glasses of liquor, an unwrapped condom, an opened black condom cover, an ashtray, and cigarettes in the room. The room's sliding door was left opened and there were no signs of intrusion and property being raided in the room.

Evgenia's body was found lying face down, wearing a dark blue dress with red patterns. Her head was bleeding and in her right hand she was clutching strands of hair.
