This is the chilling moment a Chinese tourist took a transsexual prostitute to his room before killing her in a bloody Jack the Ripper style murder.

Fu Tongyuan, 41, picked up Woranan Pannacha, 25, along the red-light strip Walking Street in depraved tourist town Pattaya, eastern Thailand, on Friday night.

They agreed on a price and returned to his hotel but he she is said to have refused sex. He then allegedly choked her to death before dissecting her with a pair of scissors in a Jack the Ripper-style murder.

CCTV footage shows the pair entering the room before Fu strangled the slender ladyboy, dragging her off the bed and brutally pressing his knee down on her neck until she died.

Fu, who was on a seven-day trip, was arrested while trying to fly back to China from the Suvarnabhumi International Airport in the capital Bangkok on Saturday night, April 26.

Officers hauled him back to the hotel for a crime re-enactment - a regular and often drama-filled part of police investigations in Thailand - as furious locals tried to break through police lines to attack him.

During interrogation, he claimed he 'was curious about the human body after watching too many TV series', and wanted to examine her internal organs. He allegedly ripped out her silicone breast implants and heart. He had also removed a lung, which authorities said is still missing.

The grisly murder was discovered after Ann, a housekeeper, reported to the hotel manager that she had heard the pair arguing and Woranan screaming before the fighting stopped at around 2am on April 26.

She said: 'I woke up later that morning and couldn't shake the feeling something was wrong. So I told my boss what happened and he asked me to check on the room and scold the guests for causing a disturbance.

'But when I knocked on the door, no one answered. I unlocked it with a spare key, and that's when I discovered the body. The Chinese man was already missing. I rushed to tell my boss, and we called the police.'

Police reviewed CCTV footage in the area and found that the suspect had fled the hotel at around 7:50 am local time. He was seen taking a motorcycle taxi and boarding a bus to Bangkok.

Authorities detained him at the Suvarnabhumi International Airport while he was about to board a flight to Kunming province his Communist homeland. He was found with numerous scratches on his face and a missing tooth, believed to be from his scuffle with the deceased.

Police Major General Thawatkiat Jindakuansanong, commander of the Chonburi Provincial Police, said: 'At first, the suspect remained silent and refused to testify until we presented the evidence to him. He was also found him carrying the victim's phone.

‘He admitted that he committed the murder after the victim refused to have intercourse and kicked him in the face, causing his tooth to fall out and making him angry. He pressed his knee to her throat until she couldn't breathe before dragging her body into a bathroom.

‘He said he watched a lot of TV shows and was interested in how the inside of a corpse looked, so he cut through her stomach to her chest with scissors.

‘The suspect was a welder, so he was physically capable and was able to cleanly slice the body in a straight line before taking out her breast implants and her heart.'

The Chinese holidaymaker said he had met Woranan at a beach near Pattaya's Walking Street area. He claimed he was unaware that she was transgender, and paid her 8,000 baht (180 GBP) for sex. However, she allegedly changed her mind when they reached the hotel.

Fu said he had tried to ask for a refund, but Woranan only gave half of his money back. He allegedly confessed that he had given in to 'uncontrollable rage' and was sorry for his actions.

Woranan's father, Auan Pannacha, 61, said he was devastated at the loss of the family's breadwinner.

He said: 'Even now, I still can't accept her death. Four years ago, she asked to work in Taiwan to study Chinese, and she became fluent. After two years, she returned to Pattaya, and we visited her sometimes.

'Woranan was kind, shy, and the pillar of our family. She bought us a house and sent us 10,000 baht each month, aside from buying us other things we wanted. Just two or three months ago, she promised to take us all to China. I can't believe she's gone now.'
