Police arrested a man yesterday suspected of attempting to rape an actress and former television singing contestant.
Prajuab Poobualom, a 24-year-old construction worker reportedly made a full confession that on Sunday night he attempted to rape Kannapat “Preme” Worabawormpat, known for appearing as a contestant on the KPN Award program three years ago and recent roles in sitcoms.
Police said Prajuab was drinking with other construction workers after working on the road in the actress’ village in Nonthaburi province. After getting drunk, he put on a ski mask and broke into Preme’s home, as he reckoned there was a pretty girl living in the house, police said.
Prajuab added the doors were unlocked, so he had no trouble entering the home. Preme resisted and fought her attacker before ripping his mask off. Prajuab decided to escape and joined other construction workers for more drinks.
25-year-old Preme was admitted to Nonthaveij Hospital where she received 40 stitches on her eyebrow. The actress reveals she is still traumatized, but has received support from her colleagues, Sanook reported.
