So who did it Perry Mason?

I think many posters know exactly who was involved - if you missed it you must be living under a rock.

Why should "many posters" here know who were the real murders? What special talent Thaivisa posters have or what privileged information are they privy to? Your statement is clearly incorrect, and if it isn't then all those posters who do know the identity of the murderers should be considered lower than anything that does live under a rock for not passing that information on.

police tell the 2 suspects they need semen samples to check against semen inside the raped woman. police get samples and could have easily placed some inside the deceased woman and or put in in the haphazard "chain of custody"

Ridiculous. As far as I know, excluding intercourse, there could only be two ways to obtain semen, how do you suggest those samples would have been obtained and why would it not have been mentioned in the report of the court proceedings?

Idiots.

43+thousand views on this tread so far. Wonder how many are government officials.

None, I would think. They've got better things to do than worry about what a few foreigners on this forum, with no direct knowledge of the court case at all, think of the outcome.

It would be good if all those criticising the police investigation, the judge's decision, the legal system and the courts, would bear in mind that the trial is not over, far from it. The appeal is next and if that is unsuccessful, without doubt, the final decision will be made by the Supreme Court.

On Nut BTS. It's staffed.

"You really must be very careful in Thailand!"

It would have been more accurate to say "you must be very careful in the shop that I went to!". This is nothing to do with Thailand in general. I don't have to be careful in my optician's shop.

When he applies for a new passport checks will be made to make sure he's not on an overstay and the can of worms is opened. The questions will start and he will have to explain the coincidence of losing a passport whilst on overstay. Then he'll have to to justify the offence of making a false statement to obtain a passport which could result in his being denied a new passport.

Suggest you head to the nearest border, pay the overstay, and exit. Going to immigration will achieve nothing except the possibility of arrest and deportation for overstaying or worse.

What do you think he'll find at the border? That's right, Immigration officers ready to check his passport where his fake stamp (if it is fake) will be obviously be noticed.

Now where did I put that passport? totally forgot, must have left it somewhere...

Ah well time for a new one.

How would that help him? He's going to need an entry stamp in the new passport before he will be given an exit stamp when he leaves.

Do you think Immigration and the passport offices aren't aware of the reasons that passports are sometimes "lost" and that they make no checks? Get real.

UPDATE:

As I said before I first asked the Condo management who dismissed my idea as laughable.

The car is locked, as you'd expect.

So I thought if I could get a locksmith to open the car, I could just check the glove box and maybe

find a registration blue book or some clue to who owns the car.

I asked the security guys who are always on duty around here and they seemed quite happy about

the idea but referred me to the condo desk jockeys again who apparently have more sway.

The desk jocks seemed horrified that I could even contemplate the idea of opening the car.

"Oh no no, can not"

I said "its obvious that the owner does not want the car, so what's the big deal?"

"If there is no proof of ownership inside then we just lock it up again! and go to plan B"

but the whole idea just fell on deaf ears.

I was wasting my time with these people, they do not want to cooperate.

Next I telephoned the DLT (Dept of Land Transport) office in Chatuchak.

I had to repeat my story about 3 times before I was referred each time to someone else who had a better handle on English.

They said "you must bring the blue book with your car, then we can check if your car is roadworthy and make a new licence"

I must have told them 10 times "I don't have a blue book, It's not my car, it's an abandoned car. It is locked and I don't have a key, so I can't bring the blue book"

Eventually the lady said "Oh it's an abandoned car? ..why did you abandon it sir? Hmm ..(lot of discussion in background)

"Sir, you will have to see another department in building 2"

Passing the buck I see .. - I said "thanks for your help!" (not)

So tomorrow I will go to Chatuchak DLT (building 2) and see what they have to say.

I believe every international airport in the world has abandoned cars.

I was in Brussels airport many years ago. I was amazed to see BMWs, Porches and other valuable cars left abandoned, black with dust, many with missing wheels or body parts. Readers have probably seen the videos about abandoned super cars in the Arab airports.

Apparently the airport management isn't bothered, so nothing is ever done about it and the same attitude prevails here at my condo !

Yes you may leave your car here, plenty of undercover parking, not far from the airport, nobody will touch the car,

and nobody will question why it's there even if you leave it for 20 years, great service!

However if your car is stolen, nobody will ever trace where it has gone.

It's probably in a condo parking area, somewhere near the airport.

Part 1 of this saga with the condo management is indeed laughable, no wonder they wouldn't co-operate with you, what you were trying to do was illegal. Abandoned or not, the car does not belong to you or the condo, you have no authority to even be curious enough to open the car and then secure it again.

Part 2 is laughable also. You phoned a Thai DLT and because you had to repeat your story 3 times you complain! If you had used the language that they speak in every government department in this country perhaps you would have had no problems. Hardly surprising that they wanted to pass you to someone else, that is not passing the buck.

What have international airport car parks got to do with this Cefiro?

The fire was quickly brought under control.......but the boat was destroyed

What's that all about ?

Where does it say that the fire was quickly brought under control? Oh, yes, nowhere.

Found guilty and sentenced to prison, then acquitted by the appeals court.

Happens nearly every time.

No it doesn't.

What you missed is that the Supreme Court gave them a jail sentence.

Good to see that EASA, just like FIFA, can be bought at a price.

How do you know that? You do know that FIFA has nothing to do with international airlines?
