2014年12月31日，當世界各地的人們正準備迎接新年到來時，25歲的中國女孩方婷卻獨自走進澳大利亞阿德萊德市中心的一家四星級酒店。這位來自雪梨的高端伴游女孩，化名"Honey"，或許從未想過這將是她的最後一程。

監控畫面記錄下她生前的最後影像：身著淺色連衣裙，長髮披肩，一邊打著電話一邊走進酒店大堂，神情平靜甚至帶著幾分輕鬆。幾小時後，當新年的鐘聲響起時，她已倒在客房的血泊中，再也看不到2015年的第一縷陽光。案發次日清晨，酒店經理因樓下客房投訴漏水而前往方婷所在的房間查看。推開房門後，駭人的一幕映入眼簾：浴室積水混雜著血水從門縫滲出，方婷的屍體被隨意包裹在染血的床單中，喉部一道13釐米長的傷口觸目驚心。警方後續調查顯示，這位元體重僅48公斤的瘦弱女子幾乎來不及反抗，就因氣管和頸動脈被割斷而失血身亡。

通過監控錄影追蹤，警方很快鎖定一名亞裔男子。監控顯示，該男子與方婷一同進入酒店，卻在淩晨獨自匆忙離開。經查，此人正是28歲的韓裔男子朴春光。案發後他試圖搭乘航班逃往墨爾本，卻在機場被及時攔截。根據法庭審理材料，這起悲劇始於一場交易糾紛。朴春光當晚通過仲介預約方婷的伴遊服務，約定的1500澳元費用成為雙方爭執的導火索。淩晨時分，朴春光謊稱要去ATM取款支付費用，卻在方婷準備同行時突然發難。警方推測，他先是用高跟鞋猛擊受害人頭部，隨後用預藏的刀片割開她的喉嚨。

為掩蓋罪行，朴春光竟用浴室內的嬰兒濕巾仔細包裹兇器，企圖用他人的DNA干擾偵查方向。完成這一切後，他鎮定地離開酒店，試圖開始新的生活，仿佛那個跨年夜晚的血腥記憶從未發生。然而天網恢恢，經過近兩年的司法程式，南澳洲最高法院於2016年8月17日作出終審判決，認定朴春光謀殺罪名成立，判處其終身監禁，且25年內不得假釋。值得一提的是，在整個審判過程中，連被告的妻子都未曾為其辯護，法庭上無人支持他的無罪主張。

這起發生在異國他鄉的悲劇，不僅終結一個年輕的生命，更折射出跨境性工作者面臨的安全隱患。方婷的故事最終成為澳大利亞司法史上的一起標誌性案件，促使社會重新審視特殊行業從業者的安全保障問題。在那個本該充滿希望的跨年之夜，一個生命的悄然逝去，為所有人敲響警鐘。

The Final Journey: Chinese Escort Murdered in Adelaide on New Year's Eve

On December 31, 2014, as people around the world were preparing to welcome the new year, 25-year-old Chinese girl Fang Ting walked alone into a four-star hotel in the heart of Adelaide, Australia. This high-end escort girl from Sydney, known by the alias "Honey," likely never imagined this would be her final journey.

Security footage captured her last moments: dressed in a light-colored dress with long hair draped over her shoulders, she walked into the hotel lobby while talking on the phone, her expression calm and even somewhat relaxed. A few hours later, as the New Year's bells rang, she lay in a pool of blood in her guest room, never to see the first light of 2015.

The next morning, the hotel manager went to inspect Fang Ting's room after guests downstairs complained of a water leak. Pushing the door open, a horrifying scene unfolded before him: water mixed with blood seeped from under the bathroom door, and Fang Ting's body was haphazardly wrapped in blood-stained sheets, a gruesome 13-centimeter wound visible on her throat. Subsequent police investigations revealed that the frail young woman, weighing only 48 kilograms, had barely any time to resist before bleeding to death from severed trachea and carotid artery.

Through security footage, police quickly identified an Asian man. The video showed him entering the hotel with Fang Ting, only to leave alone in a hurry in the early hours of the morning. The man was confirmed to be 28-year-old Korean-born Park Kwang Moon. After the incident, he attempted to flee to Melbourne by flight but was intercepted in time at the airport.

According to court documents, the tragedy began with a transactional dispute. Park Kwang Moon had booked Fang Ting's escort services through an intermediary that night, and the agreed-upon fee of AUD $1,500 became the trigger for the conflict. In the early hours of the morning, Park falsely claimed he needed to withdraw money from an ATM to pay the fee but suddenly turned violent as Fang Ting prepared to accompany him. Police推测 he first struck the victim on the head with a high heel before using a pre-hidden blade to slash her throat.

In an attempt to cover up the crime, Park meticulously wrapped the murder weapon in baby wipes from the bathroom, hoping to divert the investigation with someone else's DNA. After completing this gruesome task, he calmly left the hotel and tried to start a new life, as if the bloody memories of that New Year's Eve had never happened.

However, justice prevailed. After nearly two years of judicial proceedings, the Supreme Court of South Australia delivered a final verdict on August 17, 2016, convicting Park Kwang Moon of murder and sentencing him to life imprisonment with no parole for 25 years. It is worth noting that throughout the trial, even the defendant's wife never spoke in his defense, and no one in the courtroom supported his claim of innocence.

This tragedy, which occurred in a foreign land, not only ended a young life but also highlighted the safety risks faced by cross-border sex workers. Fang Ting's story ultimately became a landmark case in Australian judicial history, prompting society to reexamine the safety and protection of workers in special industries. On what should have been a night of hope and celebration, the quiet passing of a life served as a wake-up call for all.
