Model falsely identified as the 'Bangkok Bomber' by haters on social media

Model, actor, and English teacher Sunny Burns, an Australian living in Thailand  spent last night in the custody of Thai police after a social media campaign falsely identified him as the suspected Bangkok bomber.

Central Bangkok has been the scene of two bombings over the last two days, with more than 22 people dead and 120 injured.

Burns took to Facebook to explain his situation after handing himself over to police last night, fearing he may be arrested.

Police were able to prove Burns’ innocence after finding footage of the model’s whereabouts at the time of the bombings.
