  1. Natee said he already had life-insurance policies from Muang Thai Insurance and ING Insurance, for two and eight years respectively.

    I guess Mr Natee has just seen Michael Moore's movie Sicko hence the need for a third insurance policie.

    If he requires further life Insurance,surely he should re-approach the 2 Life Offices he already possesses cover with as they have already accepted him,it is obvious he has an agenda to cause trouble with AIA.

    Thai policeman enters innocent plea in killing of British tourists

    KANCHANABURI: -- A Thai policeman accused of gunning down a young British tourist couple pleaded innocent to murder and weapons charges on Thursday, the prosecuting attorney said.

    Sgt. Somchai Visetsingha is accused of killing Adam Lloyd, 25, and Vanessa Arscott, 24, on Sept. 9 in the popular tourist town of Kanchanaburi, about 110 kilometers (70 miles) west of the capital, Bangkok.

    On Wednesday, the state prosecutors' office brought four charges against Somchai: premeditated murder of Lloyd, killing Arscott with intent to conceal evidence, possession of an unlicensed gun, and carrying a weapon in a public place without permission.

    Somchai pleaded innocent to all charges in the provincial court Thursday, prosecutor Worawit Pankanaratworachai said.

    The murder charges carry a maximum penalty of death.

    When he spoke to the police and media immediately after his arrest, Somchai admitted killing the two tourists.

    He said he drew his pistol and shot Lloyd in a fit of fury after the Briton spat in his face during an argument, but that he had not intended to kill Arscott, whom he unknowingly drove into as she tried to stop him from fleeing. After dragging her body for about 200 meters (660 feet), he said he stopped his car and shot her in his panic to escape.

    Somchai eluded a massive manhunt for nearly a month, but surrendered to police on Oct. 7.

    He was granted bail pending formal charges in court.

    Somchai had petitioned the court to have the charges against him downgraded to killing in self-defense and killing without intent _ charges that do not carry the death penalty.
