A German national in the midst of an ongoing court case pertaining to child sex accusations has died in unknown circumstances while riding his motorbike in South Pattaya on Sunday.

 

Pattaya, the 17th of October 2010 [PDN]: On Sunday, Pattaya police were notified of an accident involving a foreign man in Soi Buakao South Pattaya.

 

According to the police report, the man, now known to be Dr. Malter (alias) [52], was riding his motorbike in Soi Buakao South Pattaya when he appeared to collapse off the bike in unknown circumstances. Dr. Malter was subsequently rushed to the Pattaya Memorial Hospital by witnesses at the scene, where he was later confirmed dead.

 

Witnesses at the scene reported the Dr. Malter did not appear to have crashed with anything or be travelling at an excessive speed, one witness explaining “he simply collapsed off the bike.”

 

Dr. Malter was in the midst of a court case in Pattaya, after he was arrested by Child & Women Protection Police on the 2nd of October, accused of having procured the sexual services of underage women.

 

Arrested based solely on the accusations of a convicted child prostitution agent, scorned by the deceased when he and his wife had refused to loan her money, Dr. Malter had subsequently posted Bt300,000 in bail and was in the process of forming his case with a local attorney at the time of his death.

 

Dr. Malter’s body has since been sent to the Forensic Science Institute for a post-mortem examination to ascertain the cause of death will be performed. The German Embassy has been informed of the death.
