What happened

16-year-old cart racer allegedly stabbed Airbnb host to death hours after checking in A teenage international kart racer stabbed his Airbnb host to death within hours of renting the room from her when he was just 16, according to UK prosecutors.

Why it matters

Enzo Bettamio, now 18, allegedly used a large silver knife to murder 27-year-old Kamonnan Thiamphanit at her home in London before fleeing to Dubai, the Times of London reported.

Common ground

Thiamphanit, also known as Angela, was found in April 2024 with “multiple stab wounds all over her body [and] a large silver knife … protruding from the side of her neck,” the jury in London was told Tuesday.

Perspective signals
