But following Jurairat's death, he could face up to 10 years behind bars and a fine of up to 200,000 baht (around £4,550). Cops said the suspect was not under the influence of alcohol or drugs but did admit to causing the accident and has since compensated Jurairat's family with 30,000 baht (roughly £680) for medical expenses. Mills has since been released from custody but his passport has been seized to prevent him from leaving the country. Police Lieutenant Colonel Itthiporn said: "More evidence and witness statements are now needed for this case. "The suspect was not under the influence of alcohol or any kind of drugs but he admitted causing the accident. "We are waiting for a full forensic report from the hospital into the injuries and the cause of death. The suspect will not be allowed to leave Thailand." The Brit reportedly lost control and crashed into the Petchraska's pink Honda bike while attempting to lift the front wheel of his rented scooter. Emergency services found the mum-of-two lying in a pool of blood at around 11 pm local time on August 14 in the Soi Bong Koch 8 area of the city. She was rushed to hospital, where she was treated for life-threatening injuries. Horror moment Brit is dragged out of holiday bar and beaten by staff for refusing to pay eye-watering £460 drinks bill But despite medics' best efforts, she tragically died on Sunday afternoon. Confirming the woman's death today, a rescue officer said: "Yes, she has passed away at the hospital. We only transported her there." Officers said the Brit, believed to be involved in the crash, gave his name as Brandon James Holmes. But local news reports into previous criminal cases in the UK suggest he is actually called Brandon Mills. According to reports, Mills was convicted of dealing heroin and crack cocaine in Sheffield in 2022 and received a suspended 14 month sentence in a Young Offender Institution. Emotional tributes have since poured in for the mum who was "everyone's angel". One said: "Jurairat was like a mother to me. She was everyone's friend. I can only pray that she is in heaven now and not suffering. "I hope that there will be justice for what happened to her. She did not harm anyone, there was no reason for her to die like that. She was everyone's angel." 7 Brandon Mills, 22, could face up to 10 years behind bars Credit: AsiaPacificPress via ViralPress 7 Jurairat Petchraksa, 49, died from her injuries in hospital Credit: AsiaPacificPress via ViralPress
