A resort town in Thailand has become the scene of a gruesome death.

A Chinese man is accused of killing and mutilating Woranan Pannacha, a transgender woman, in Pattaya after she allegedly refused to have sex with him, police said, according to The Bangkok Post.

The suspect, 42, was arrested at the Samut Prakan airport and allegedly confessed to killing the 25-year-old on April 25.

He allegedly met her on a beach and offered her 8,000 baht (about $240) to come to his room to have sex, but when she arrived and refused his advances, he demanded a partial refund. When she declined, the pair allegedly got into a physical altercation and he strangled her to death.

The man allegedly took her body into the bathroom and used scissors to cut open her breasts and pull out her silicone implants. He told police he wanted to “play” with Pannacha’s body, so he cut her open from her neck to her genitals and removed her heart, according to the Post.

Police said Pannacha’s lungs also went missing, but the suspect reportedly denied touching those organs.
