It seems there are so many homicide investigations in Thailand that just do not end well. They had the suspect in custody, they had an eye witness and then the suspect doesn't show up for court. What's wrong with this picture? What was the suspect doing being free to begin with when he killed someone? A murder suspect just seems to vanish. It seems the Thai Police need an overhaul in their methods of investigation, apprehension and the holding onto of suspects.
Thats the downside of having a legal system where you are able to pay bail after you get arrested. Because then there will always be a risk of the person not turning up for a court date. If the Thai lawmakers were smart, they should remove the possibility for arrested tourists to be able to get bail and hold them in custody until the court date.
But then again, they would also make less money...
