Wonder if if any one has done Jury service and ca tell us what the were instructed in regards to the phrase "Beyond all reasonable doubt"?   

To find someone guilty of murder in the UK, the jury would have to be certain the defendant was guilty.

That means no other logical explanation could be derived from the facts except that the defendant committed the crime, thereby overcoming the presumption that a defendant is innocent until proven guilty.

After reading everything so far, there are still logical explanations that have not been ruled out. On that basis I would find the man not guilty.

Is anywhere open tonight? I'm near Soi 33/1 and it's quiet here.

These are units that can't easily be replaced. They are recessed aluminium lights that are set into the internal walls of the house. It would be a lot of work to change the units unless they were the same size and method of fitting.

The cost is not so much the issue - it's more important to get the units working by replacing the drivers.

There are only 2 components that ever need changing: the LED and the LED driver. I have the LEDs, now I need the drivers...

I have 10 single LED lights in my house. Each LED light is powered by an LED driver unit. By a process of elimination, I suspect the driver units are starting to fail. I have tried to find direct replacements on the internet, but I cannot.

Could any of our electrically minded members point me in the direction of an equivalent replacement please? This unit is 4cm long, 4cms wide and 2cms deep. The 2cms measurement is reasonably important because these driver units have to fit in a recessed hole. 3 cms deep would be ok, maybe a bit more.

Each driver powers a CREE XML T6 LED U2 10W WHITE High Power LED chip on a 20mm PCB. This spec is copied from the seller:

really?  When I renewed my US passport (while in the usa) when they mailed back my new passport and the old one, the old one had punched holes in it which indicated it was no longer valid and not to be used any more, even though it had not yet expired.

Really. British citizens in Thailand retain their original passport during the time their application for a new passport is submitted and considered.

The old passport is not physically defaced in any way until the appointment when you collect your new passport. At this point your old passport has the corner cut off the cover while you watch.

Yes. Your ex partner and your daughter can own real estate in Thailand.

If your daughter is under 20 years old then it will be extremely difficult to sell any property in her name until she becomes an adult.

You will often find people selling them in various government offices. Often the person doing the photocopying has some for sale.

The face value is normally 5 baht a stamp. You will pay 5 baht at a Revenue Office, but a few baht more elsewhere.

Still, if a few baht saves you a longer trip that's got to be worth it. We always buy more and have a few spare.

Your old passport will be ok. Your old passport is not defaced in any way until the appointment where you collect your new passport.

Did you write the email in Thai?

Normally when a company is started updated signed share transfers agreements are setup. Just transfer the trouble maker's shares to someone else. 

Unfortunately such documents can easily be rendered worthless.

If the person who signed the undated share transfer agreements makes a written statement to the police that they lost these documents, then the future use of the document becomes problematic.

If the same person reports the documents stolen by persons unknown, anyone using the agreement in the future could find themselves in serious trouble.

These documents can be signed one day and reported stolen the next day, creating a time bomb for anyone using them in the future.

Various photographs of the person named in the OP have been removed once again. I have previously requested members not to post such photographs.

If you choose to ignore my second warning then expect to receive a posting holiday.

Moved to the Plants, Pets and Vets Forum.

I think you will find that very few SMART visas have been issued.

Photos and other details allegedly of the person discussed in this thread have been removed. Posting such details contravenes Forum Rule 2.

I would politely remind everyone that this person is resident in Thailand, and as of yet he has not been charged with any crime.

Lets look at the facts, shall we?

 

1) The woman was found dead in the U.K. in 2004, so how could she have moved back to Thailand as you suggest?

2) The husband claimed she had gone missing and had returned to Thailand to marry another man, at least this is what he told his son and other relatives at the time. Was this prior to 2004?  This is not made clear.  So, were the couple divorced?  Because if not, she would be committing bigamy, which presumably is illegal in Thailand.

3) It has not yet been proved conclusively that she was murdered but the likelihood is great.

 

IMO the husband should be extradited to the U.K. and questioned by the British police.  Did he ever file a missing persons report?  So many unanswered questions.

 

I find this story very tragic and the fact that the locals in the village near where she was found paid for her funeral and have held a memorial for her every year is very touching.

1. I apologise for not posting clearly. When I said, "She could have easily met another man and decided to move back to Thailand",  I meant that she died after the period of time when she left her husband but before she left the UK.

She told her husband she was leaving for Thailand, but she may not have told him the truth. What if she decided to stay in the UK and work as a massage therapist but decided not to tell her husband so she could get a clean break? What if she met a customer and the customer is implicated? One well known UK serial killer, Steve Wright, is known to have previously visited Thailand. Steve Wright's brother is on record as saying Steve spent 10 weeks in Thailand and returned to the UK after, "Some girl scammed him for everything he had". Steve Wright was jailed for 5 murders he committed in 2006, but like all serial killers, he might be responsible for more than he was convicted of. Did he meet the deceased by random chance one evening? Who knows?

2. If she told the truth about getting married in Thailand she would have been committing bigamy only if she married the second husband on paper. If she intended having a village wedding there was nothing stopping her. Additionally, if she claimed abandonment in Court she would only have to wait for 12 months before she could apply for a divorce and marry at the District Office.

If the police want to extradite the husband they will need a lawful reason to do so. There is nothing stopping the police interviewing him under caution at the British Embassy, should he consent. Quicker, and cheaper, especially as I would imagine he would only tell them what they already know.

If they have enough evidence to charge him then they are legally obliged to do so without delay. The fact that they are travelling to Thailand to conduct interviews tells us that they do not have sufficient evidence to charge at the present time.

Either way it is very unclear what really happened, and with the burden of proof being beyond reasonable doubt then the police might struggle to get enough evidence to proceed.
