A fashion model allegedly murdered by her partner in Thailand following a stint in Hong Kong is believed to have been represented by the same agency as well-known names such as Gaile Lok and Danielle Graham.
Gwendoline Cretton, a 24-year-old Swiss passport holder, was killed at her residence in Bangkok’s Prawet district on Thursday night last week, according to Thai media reports.
She was reportedly stabbed to death. The suspect, her partner, called for help and carried the body to a car with two neighbours.
Local media also reported the suspect was a Hongkonger and he had been questioned by Thai police.
In a reply to the Post on Wednesday, the Swiss Federal Department of Foreign Affairs said it was aware of the death of one of its citizens in Thailand.
“The Swiss embassy in Thailand is in contact with the competent local authorities and the relatives,” department spokeswoman Elisa Raggi said.
“For reasons of data and privacy protection, no further details can be provided.”
The Hong Kong office of model agency CalCarries International Management earlier told the Post that a woman matching the deceased’s name, appearance and age had worked for the company for years until her contract ended in 2024.
The company said on Wednesday that it could not contact the model to seek confirmation as she was no longer working for them.
Numerous renowned models, including Gaile Lok, Danielle Graham and Kathy Chow Man-kei, are linked to the same agency.

Cretton’s most recent photo shoot with the agency was an advertisement for an Italian fashion brand, the photos of which were posted on social media pages in late January.
Social media posts also showed that Cretton was actively working with different make-up artists for photo shoots.
Some of her modelling photos date back to as early as 2018.
Cretton also had a YouTube channel, said to be used for posting videos of her modelling. But the channel did not have any content, according to a check by the Post on Wednesday.

The channel also displayed Cretton’s other name “Gwen Sun”.
Her profile and photos were also seen in East West Models, an agency based in Frankfurt, Germany.
Hong Kong’s Immigration Department said it had not received any requests for help on the case.
