But unlike the original post mortem conducted in Koh Samui, the second inquest confirmed two ‘impact marks’ on Mr. Attew’s head and five puncture marks on his back, penetrating 3 mm into the skin, and also bruising on his back and neck

are they for real !!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!! , i have seen the picture of when they found the body, and NO WAY is this drowning !, ok he may of had some water in his lungs but how can you explain all the other injuries ! ..... this is truly shocking

i think there mayof been a lot of lost face here, so instead og admiting they where wrong, the police insist on calling this a suscide !, or are being heavily paid off

could someone link the pic?

I could have told you without Wikileaks. Seeing for many years Russkies running in shorts, loaded with diamond bracelets, necklaces -you only saw at TV or auctions. They are not afraid to show who they are.

Congratulations! I am not sure in what they are No 1, but Congrats! More details would be appreciated...

Should this crook get extradited he will be executed. Embezzlement is one of over 30 non-violent

crimes where the Chinese government executed people at will. Not a bright guy, it seems.

He should have read which country doesn't have an extradition thready with Thailand, like

most European countries before he runs away.

Extradition Treaty Countries (update 13July 2010): Currently the following countries entered into extradition treaties with Thailand:

Australia, Bangladesh, Belgium, Cambodia, Canada, China, Fiji, Indonesia, Laos, Malaysia, Philippines, South Korea, United Kingdom, and United States.

Do your homework before you crook around! :jap:

EDIT: adding extradition countries

Oh dear, here we go again! And another tip-off!

The tip-off came from an CTX 9000 with Narcotic Add-on Software

wonder how many Thais can pronounce 'Lone Robber'?

I just asked my wife to say it and she said: "No Rubber" LOL!

EDIT: typo

My God... I was reading the story about his son just a few days earlier.

I feel shocked when I just stumbled upon it. So sad, so much love lost.

So sorry... RIP and may you find peace with your sweet little son...

I wonder what happens if Thailand would ask for extradition and guarantee the UK in the same time that this badass not get executed but life in prison? To be honest, I not believe he will be extradited anyways. Just wonder whether it would be possible at all.

The US practicing a double standard (which seemed to be a 'standard' already). Itself it wages wars, without UN blessing like in IRAQ,

kills innocents by the thousands and sells weapons allover the world. Did you ever thought about that? I don't think. Yes, I hope Russia will get Victor back. Period.

Are we really so ignoreant that we'd care what the "US" agenda in this matter is? Who cares at this point? If he is truly the supplier of weapons to places like Sierra Leona and the Congo where mass rape, looting, and murder on a scale that parallel an epedemic occcur regularly, than who cares who wants him? Let New Zealand arrest him for all I care.

Do we as people turn a blind eye to genocide merely because we care who they killed or why? Shame on you! I don't care who his enemies are or what someone has on him; wholesale murder is wrong no matter who the target is. Do you suggest otherwise????????????????

The world is tired of the US trying to police the whole world.

Yes, it is possible that those weapons could be used to shoot

down an American helicopter, because the US is everywhere

where it thinks it has a 'right' to (whether that is true or not),

and there are most likely helicopters of them too.

As Henry Kissinger said:" The US has no friends, it only has interests!"

I don't know that problem it is with the Blackberry. If someone really wants to transfer bad stuff, they won't use it anyways since the PC has much more powerful encryption software which is very hard or impossible to crack. After so much BIG BROTHER advertising, no crackhead would use Blackberry for anything but legals stuff or they would use this, something the BIG BROTHER can't look into too.

A lot of crime in Pattaya indeed. I hope they clean it up a bit. I wonder why they can not catch the guys at airport?

TIT indeed.

It is always worth looking into if you would qualify for a work permit. I chose not to because of increased tax burden (foreigners pay higher tax than Thais), too much paperwork and large capital requirements (2m Baht minimum cash in the business to sponsor a work permit, if memory serves me right).

Can you provide me of a source for that.

I pay the same taxes as a Thai.

Pesonal income tax

5. Public entertainer remuneration

- Thai resident 5%

- non-resident 5% - 37 %

quoted from your quoted site

Someone not want the government to lift Emergency decree. There are not many to choose from as culprit...

Choose any color you like...

I like this article

me too. Actually I was thinking whether the Thai Authorities are trying to get him by way of psychology (let him play savior of Thailand as written by op).

Good idea though!

"Just as Jesus Christ sacrificed his life to redeem sinful humanity, so do I now sacrifice my freedom to redeem the nation from the strife and conflict which, through no fault of mine, have convulsed it for so long."

Sounds good.

Go for it, Prisoner Number 999:

WOW very nice pic !!!

Sorry, I'm reading this development a different way...

If he's blacklisted and has his visa canceled, he'd either have to leave the country, or be actively deported by the Thai authorities, and be unable legally to return.

In that case, he'd never be present for the completion of the pending legal proceedings. So I'm not sure how the case could proceed to a verdict in those circumstances.

It seems rather a way of Thailand getting rid of the guy without having to put a prominent Russian artist on trial.... If true, that would seem to benefit a fair number of different interests in this mess.

...leaving aside the question of whether the guy is guilty or innocent. He's been accused before, so this episode would just be another one added to the list.

I dont think that is what's going on because they already tarnished his reputation. And blacklisting + Visa cancel doesn't make anything better

If this story is in fact true, it makes a total mockery of justice in Thailand. Might this be because Pletnev has shown he will fight the case in Court and the authorities are so incensed by the international media response (which has highlighted the fact that Thailand is a haven for pedophiles rather than the efforts of the country to clean up its act) that they literally want the case and Pletnev to disappear? Wherever he is now, he cannot get back to Thailand and report back to the Court as ordered. So he is doubly damned. Accused of being a pedophile and treated as one without any shred of evidence being brought out in Court! Yet not even allowed to prove his innocence (if that is the case). What makes this even more disgraceful is that the Immigration Chief has acted before getting a reply from the "Child and Women Unit". I am shocked and appalled.

MAYBE WE SHOULD WAIT UNTIL HE IS CONVICTED ? JUST A THOUGHT LA !.....

Perfectly fair point. But it seems the Thai Justice System will not even give him that opportunity! I hope there is an international outcry over this.

I think you may be looking at it the wrong way.

They've stopped his visa so he can't come back and face charges.

What if influential people from whichever country have found a way to let him go free without Thailand losing face.

The Thais can't prosecute him because they've put him on a blacklist and won't let him back into the country.

I wonder who gets to keep all the guy's assets in Thailand. Hasn't he got houses and businesses all over the place?

Makes you think.

I don't know what everyone is talking about 'letting him back'???

HE ARRIVED A FEW DAYS BACK IN THAILAND and now what could happen next?

Interesting, lets see what happens next.

That man must have real problems. To keep weapon and cloths from crime is not a normal thing

Remember innocent untill proven guilty .

I for one think they may have the wrong man . I mean if you did what he did , surly you would leave the country ?

to be arrested at the airport?

Finally! If he's guilty, may he rot in hel_l!!!

I think Thailand must be on the top of the list when it comes to "Destination Getaways for Crooks on the Run."

And they never learn. So many get caught. If you wanna hide out in Thailand, go live up north by the Burmese border......

'So many get caught'? Nobody can say that because nobody know how many crooks are 'still' in LoS.

It's relative :jap:

I wonder what would have been the outcome if something like that would have happened in a Thai-Court.

2 years? Why announcing it anyways? Announce it when you already started!
