BANGKOK, Thailand (AP) — The suspect in the killing of JonBenet Ramsey visited a clinic to have facial hair removed permanently because he wanted a sex-change operation, a doctor said Monday.
John Mark Karr had his sideburns and hair under his chin removed with lasers at the Siam Swan Cosmetic Clinic and its branches in downtown Bangkok during four sessions from March to July, said Dr. Setthakarn Attakonpan.
"He wanted to prepare himself to do a sex-change operation," said Setthakarn, a dermatologist.
On Sunday, a doctor at a Bangkok clinic specializing in sex-change surgery said Karr had come in for treatment.
"He was one of my patients," Dr. Thep Vechavisit of the Pratunam Polyclinic said. He refused to provide further details.
