May, might, maybe! Life is a terminal disease.

Life is a sexually transmitted disease.

Professional amateurs.

Cheap attempt to trick the insurance company? Who else would leave 30 mln baht of jewellery unattended, anywhere?

Sick Bastard.

Proof that there is at least 1 bad Farang who deserves to go to hell together with Thaksin.

I pity you for having nothing to contribute.

Obsessed with TS? Your problem. Go get professional help. And leave him out of this story, please.

You sure the police did this or was it the cell provider?

Well, obviously the providers do it, by request of the Police, when they have a warrant to do so.

As early as in the '90s, long before some cell phones got GPS, police in several Europe countries - and I guess in other industrialised countries - used a tracker to establish the location of cell phones. I remember the tracker was called "Kolibri" - not sure if it was the brand.

Disgusting story. Hardly less disgusting that some on this forum dare to condone murder for the reasons given.

This guy clearly isn't the same guy pictured in the earlier thread... who was that actually a picture of?

How many times should it be repeated: Suspects are suspects are suspects are suspects - and innocent until proven guilty.

Media should NEVER name - let alone show pictures or video of - suspects, unless provided by the authorities to facilitate their arrest. No matter your hunger for sensational journalism, PLEASE respect fundamental human rights.

The man shown yesterday has risked being 'stopped and shot' - and he continues to suffer that risk, because many have seen his photo connected to this crime and some of those have not seen today's news, that the actual suspect is another man.

Safe feeling to live in a country where murder suspects are free to go and drive their car wherever they wish...

Guilty until proven innocent? Or so it appears on TV.

Completely agree. I'm the last to defend sex offenders, but he isn't one until he's proven guilty.

Having said that, it's a shame that Thai media - TV included - name and shame suspects. IMO, an inexcusable violation of fundamental human rights. But then, even the BBC names and shames suspects.

Read my post again, please.

Reporting the arrests is not what bothers me, but it's a shame that media name and shame suspects.

Thought I couldn't have been much clearer.

Your post implied that the Thai press did something press elsewhere did not. Did I misunderstand?

Holy..... No you did not MISUNDERSTAND, you MISREAD.

Try again, read my comment again, see if you spot "BBC".

If not, comment again and I may buy you a pair of spectacles.

Press EVERYWHERE reports arrest of suspects.

I was at a similar (or the same?) orphanage in Khon Kaen, run by Assies.

Seeing the innocent, infected and mostly sick kids made me feel miserable, which I think is normal and al-right.

Unfortunately, in order to be admitted, the kids HAD TO convert to Christianity, and for every single drink, snack and meal they had to pray to and thank Jesus Christ. That brainwashing, extortion of the soul and mind of helpless toddlers and kids, made me puke. Some call it conditional love. I call it abuse.

I have to agree with you, it is discusting to think that kids have to pretend to believe in something just to have food and a bed to sleep in, I wonder if contributions to this organisation would continue if it was known what they are up too.....disgrace

What is the organization?

It's been 8 years since I visited it, don't remember the name. If I remember well, It was in or near the centre, not far from the main railway crossing.

IF proven guilt, may he rot in jail, Thai jail that is - and the same applies to the procurer.

Question remains why he wasn't arrested when doing his 90 day reporting with Immigration. In theory, he could do it via mail, but the story suggest he didn't (and some if not most Immigration branches plainly lie to foreigners, claiming it is 'impossible' to do the 90-day reporting via mail, not sure what Pattaya says about this). IF he reported via mail, they could have tried to arrest him at his mail address, but that might require patience

Thailand, not only the ultimate final destination for many of the world's bon vivants, but also the ultimate penultimate destination for many of the world's desperados.

I think that it should be easy, very easy, to immediately recruit enough staff, if no "entry fees" were required to take up the position of immi officer.

So what u are saying is that poverty leads to theft, murder and dishonesty? If then why do some of the richest Thais behave in this way and many poor do not. I completely disagree with your notion. Some of the most honest Thais I have met have been poor and have read the opposite for the ruling elite in this country.

May I suggest that you take a comprehensive reading comprehension course?

Thai Rak Thai is a joke. I've seen families tear themselves apart over stealing land and money from each other. Thailand isn't a failed state, but it is a failed society.

Are you sure that "stealing land and money from each other" doesn't happen 'back home' - wherever that may be in your case.

It must also happen, but never from personal experience or close encounters. Considering the relatively shorter time I've spent in Thailand and the much more limited experiences I have with people here, I'm surprised at how low people will go to get all they can.

One possible explanation for Thai being "always after money" - as perceived by many non-Thai - is that, unlike western countries, Thailand is not a welfare state, which means many people have to "fight" for their subsistence.

I've been told many times (I assume it's true) that the smaller vehicle is always right no matter what actually happened so the car pays. So people do avoid them even when they are riding like idiots, so thats most motorbikes.

I believe this is partly true. Like in some European countries, to avoid endless legal battles, car insurance must pay where a car and a bicycle / moped / motorbike are involved. Which doesn't mean that you will be convicted just because the car insurance must pay.

However, my Thai car insurance (unlike the police) "charged me" with reckless driving after they had aid a few hundred thousand baht in damages resulting from a motorbike hitting my STATIONARY car (the motorbike rider admitted being under the influence of prescription drugs which prohibited him from riding / driving). The insurance deemed it appropriate to cut my no-claim discount, refused to use their brains, so I walked out and changed insurers.

I have seriously considered moving - myself and my company - to the North. Was to travel their last month to find property in Chiang Rai - but decided to wait and see how the 'smoky season' would be this year, after last year's relatively mild pollution. I have changed my mind and will not move to the North. I might as well move to my least favourite part of Thailand, greater Bangkok, another serious health risk in itself.

The story posted, she was broken up already with her estranged husband for a year previously..

You must have read another story....

Let's stick to the story here, which DOESN'T say that "she was broken up already with her estranged husband" (sic), who DIDN'T report her missing for THREE YEARS, while her family tried IN VAIN to get the Patong police investigating ("they didn’t really take any action" according to the cousin of the missing Rungnapa). Why not? I can think of a motive. I hope you can.

And IF she was "broken up already with her estranged husband", wouldn't that add suspicion to that "estranged husband"?

That's not my quote!! It's someone else's.....See George? What to do??

Correction it is my quote but it's out of context and apparently I'm not allowed to respond anymore..So there's your answer..

Out of context?! LOL!

You are taking yourself way too seriously.

do you think the Thai Police investigators will examine all he 10,000 plus posts? , there must be something in there to suggest what he had done, or accused off? remember he only ' murdered ' her 5 months after joining TV ...

alot of this doesnt make much sense, as there are friends on his facebook having a good time in his house, and as another poster mentioned, was this house for sale? , the whole BIB being involved adds a twist to it .....

and last question, if he did have afight with her, she fell down the stairs, ect ect, why was there a car NOT AT THE house with her blood stains on it after she went missing?

Exactly, her new policeman husband probably did it, which explains why the police did nothing all this time. But since the family kept pushing the issue, the police husband decided to frame this guy and of course the other policemen are going to back him. This guy confessed under the notorious Thai police torture.

JFYI the BiB husband wasn't new either they had already been there and done that and then broken up... Don't know about you? But being a grounded individual myself I move on with my life once I've ended or had a relationship ended and don't obsess over it especially not to the point of murdering the previous mate so I've no clue what the lives of those past mates are once we are no longer an item and couldn't really care less either..

"...they had already been there and done that and then broken up" This information is based on what?

A whole YEAR? How is that possible? How is it a police husband would not report her missing for a whole year? Unless he is guilty.

Or unless he did not know she was dead/missing and assumed she was staying with her mother or her new boyfriend just like she told him.

That is a bit of a leap. They have a child together. What would that say for a Thai husband and father that is missing a wife and mother of his child? Nobody reported her missing, not her police husband, not her blood relatives, no contact for a year. The husband is always the first suspect in any murder of a wife and it is the majority of the time the correct choice. And the bank would wait a year to repossess her car? I want that bank. She also has two other sons, 12 and 14 years old, old enough to wonder why they have not heard from her in a month, let alone a year. The problem with police confessions, regardless how they get them, is the guilty goes free and the innocent goes to jail for a crime that somebody else did, same thing with plea bargaining. This is not justice, this is just closing the case, justice be darned.

You're accusing somebody else of a leap while you're saying the confession is false and the evidence was planted?

Actually, Poach is NOT saying that the confession is false and evidence (evidence?!) was planted, but he keeps those options open, or even suspects that they are the case. And I wouldn't bet on it that the actual culprit is behind bars now. He may be, but it's unlikely we will ever learn the facts.
