A FRIEND of a Thai woman who was killed during a Glasgow conference has paid tribute to her "cheery and positive" former colleague.
Nui Chutawadee, who worked with Khanokporn Satjawat, said the pharmaceutical firm manager was loved by everyone.
Ms Satjawat was found dead within the ladies' toilets of the Clyde Auditorium on Monday.
G4S security guard Clive Carter has been accused of murdering the 42-year-old by beating her with an unknown weapon.
Ms Chutawadee spoke of her shock and sadness on learning of her friend's death. She said: "I heard from another friend about her death and it made me so sad and I panicked.
"I just saw her post on Facebook about this meeting in Scotland a couple of days ago before the bad news and I can't believe she's dead now.
"Khanokporn was a working woman who was very good at what she did in her job. She was always cheery and positive thinking and I could tell that everyone loved her, both colleagues and customers."
Ms Satjawat was attending as a delegate at an HIV treatment conference in the auditorium, also known as the Armadillo, when she was killed.
Paramedics were called but she was pronounced dead at the scene.
Just hours before her death, she had posted an image from the conference on her Facebook page.
Ms Chutawadee said both her friend's parents were dead, but she had an older sister she was close to.
It is understood that one of her friends, Jah Oh Pattaraporn, has flown to Scotland to organise the return of her body to Thailand.
Carter, 34, of Motherwell, North Lanarkshire, appeared in private on petition at Glasgow Sheriff Court before Sheriff Danny Scullion on Wednesday.
He is expected in court again next week for a further hearing.

Why are you making commenting on The Herald only available to subscribers?
It should have been a safe space for informed debate, somewhere for readers to discuss issues around the biggest stories of the day, but all too often the below the line comments on most websites have become bogged down by off-topic discussions and abuse.
heraldscotland.com is tackling this problem by allowing only subscribers to comment.
We are doing this to improve the experience for our loyal readers and we believe it will reduce the ability of trolls and troublemakers, who occasionally find their way onto our site, to abuse our journalists and readers. We also hope it will help the comments section fulfil its promise as a part of Scotland's conversation with itself.
We are lucky at The Herald. We are read by an informed, educated readership who can add their knowledge and insights to our stories.
That is invaluable.
We are making the subscriber-only change to support our valued readers, who tell us they don't want the site cluttered up with irrelevant comments, untruths and abuse.
In the past, the journalist’s job was to collect and distribute information to the audience. Technology means that readers can shape a discussion. We look forward to hearing from you on heraldscotland.com
