Thai police have questioned a man suspected of killing his 24-year-old partner, an international model who previously worked in Hong Kong.

Media outlets in the country said on Tuesday that Gwendoline Cretton, a Swiss passport holder, was killed at her residence in Bangkok’s Prawet district on Thursday night last week.

She was reportedly stabbed to death, and three men – the suspect and two neighbours who tried to help the man who yelled for help – carried her body to a car.

Surveillance camera footage showed Cretton walking her dog at around 5.30pm outside her home in the evening, 45 minutes before she was heard yelling from inside her home, followed by the man’s car going back and forth.
