Carman Tells Mother Pattaya Arrest Is Real

I'm sure it is, which is simply the point I am making.

But they investigated it, didn't they? Once again, that's the point I am making.

Or, there may be nothing to hear back from them about. Who knows? It's early days.

Now, here's one for you to consider. Yes, yes, I know, another "what if" but it has happened in the past.

What if he says he knows the location of another body / bodies and he will confess to the killing / killings for a reduced sentence and / or prisoner exchange? The body / bodies being In Thailand and / or Australia.

If in Australia, now it becomes a diplomatic issue.

If you were the parents / family of a missing person, and he is the suspect, wouldn't you want police to take that deal, in the hope of finding the remains and laying them to rest?

I'm not saying it will happen. What I am saying is I have considered the possibility because I think outside the box.

Once again, you base your hypothesis on what he "looks like." I am basing it more on his actions after the event, and those actions tend to indicate to me serious criminal intent to avoid apprehension, to the point police should be looking into his past and any connection to cold cases.

And check who went missing, prioritizing sex workers, particularly those who did "out calls" around every location in Australia where this guy has lived.

It’s just my opinion, but your out the box thinking is sounding more and more far fetched.

Yes, the Thai police looked, already, and found nothing. So that’s one prop knocked out from under the “he must be a serial killer” theorists.

When the Australian police come back, as they will, it will be another prop knocked out.

So now we are into fantasy confessions that don’t exist and fantasy diplomatic incidents based on said fantasy confession. Heck, why not shoot for WW3, you are half way there already. 😂

How do you know he is "down on his luck", or "unlucky in life?"

I've never won the lottery, I guess I am unlucky also. 😂

Some may argue, surviving brain surgery makes you lucky. 😂

No rampant speculation from me. Don't try to sensationalize my posts.

I am merely pointing out police would be looking into this guy's history and for any connections to cold cases. I have said nothing more, nor nothing less. You have posted that Thai police have done this already. So I was correct from the first time I posted such.

Well, you are entitled to your opinion. I don't judge anyone that way. Good people are capable of doing bad things, and bad people are capable of doing good things. It all depend on the timing and circumstances.

Hmm, no rampant speculation from you? Just for fun I cut a quote from your previous post. Here it is.

“What if he says he knows the location of another body / bodies and he will confess to the killing / killings for a reduced sentence and / or prisoner exchange? The body / bodies being In Thailand and / or Australia.

If in Australia, now it becomes a diplomatic issue.”

I already said why I consider him to be a “loser”. He had brain surgery for a tumor and is sitting in a Thai jail charged with murder. A relatively uncomfortable position to be in I suspect.

But I’m sure that he will be comforted by the fact that you consider him a lucky sob. I did read that he is in the hospital wing and only sharing a room with five other men. Yet another example of the good luck that you say he is experiencing! Wow, if only I had his luck.

And don’t forget, to win the lottery, you gotta buy a ticket!

No, I don't.

It's up to you to negotiate your way through life and not expect Mummy to be running around picking up the pieces, the deal should never be from cradle until grave. It makes people not take responsibility for themselves.

There are people who have everything, two parents, fantastic upbringing, the best schools and universities/colleges that go out and commit the most heinous crimes for no apparent reason.

We then have people who drag themselves up in the world and become billionaires.

We didn't say cradle to grave, but honestly, yes, you should receive sound advice from your parents your whole life and feel like they will help you find the right path when you get a setback or find yourself in a bad place. What do they say about pets and Xmas?

A difference between giving advice, which they may or not choose to listen to, than being at their service for their whole lives.

I find a lot today want you to do everything for them, and then complain if it isn't what they expected.

A pet has limited intelligence and is reliant on its owner/master, it return, it usually gives immense loyalty.

We shouldn't allow our kids into that mindset or make them ' needy ' or totally reliant on handouts, I hate that.

Police colonel Anek Srathongyoo, a superintendent of Pattaya City police station, told the Guardian on Tuesday that although there was no evidence linking Simon Peter Carman to the cases in neighbouring regions, they were investigating the possibility given similarities between the cases.

Srathongyoo said the two unsolved cases in the last two years also involved similar crime scenes with women’s bodies found in suitcases, but they had been more difficult to solve because more time had passed between the women’s deaths and their bodies being found.

Looks like they are. Glad to hear it.

To be fair to @KhunHeineken I just read that Thai police have not ruled out carmen from the previous suitcase murders. They have not ruled him in also.

That is different to what I read previously, and what I posted here, so I wanted to set that record straight in terms of the current position.

Results due in at some point.

Your talking to KH, if it's not gonna happen he still sounds the alarm bells, specially for Ozzies here, dog whistle, kicking the can, on n on! Weather the storm, little lunch must be due shortly!

Well here is my observation for today: With the 2 unsolved murders, nobody knows who the murderer is, nobody knows who are the deceased, nobody knows where or when the murders occurred , nobody can ever say how the deceased and the murderer got together, and nobody saw anyone dispose of the suitcases.

Compared to that slick operation , the case in point today is total blunder.

Sure, my opinion remains unchanged. A bar fine gone wrong, argument becomes a fight, becomes a murder.

But facts are facts and I read that Thai police had discounted the other two cases, now I read that they have not done so. So I’m fine to correct myself even if it doesn’t change my opinion.

I think he carried on with his routine, partly because he is slow witted due to his brain surgery and partly because he was in shock. The suitcase? Maybe read about the other cases and thought it was a good idea.

All speculation.

His supposed defensive wounds are perhaps more than just scratches if he is the hospital wing. Not sure it changes anything whether one in the unintended murder camp, or serial killer camp.

Initially I read on here that Thai police had discounted Carmen from the previous two cases. I thought that was that.

However, yesterday I googled the question and it came back with the answer that Thai police were examining the circumstances of the old cases and have not reached any conclusion either way.

Both the Guardian and DailyMail reported on the police looking at the similarities but neither have updated their stories since JUN 30 or JUN29. i.e. from DailyMail:

Chilling details emerge of two more bodies found in suitcases in Thai tourist hotspot where an Australian truckie was arrested and charged with the murder of teenage girl

or Guardian

Thai police investigate if Australian man charged over 17-year-old girl’s murder linked to other unsolved cases

Police say there are similarities but no evidence of links between Thunchanok Donhomla’s alleged murder and two other deaths in past two years in same region

And you still haven't said where your latest reading is.

I did say. I said I googled it. The search brought up a Gemini AI response that said police were looking into whether there were any links between the cases. More or less the same info as you post above except in far less sensational a manner.

Google AI provides a link. And whatever Google AI said likely came from those same reports as above which have not been updated in almost 2 weeks.

Unless they can make a DNA match from Carman to those 2 unsolved murders I think to find a link it will be a real stretch.

Correct.

Just saying police will be looking at other cases of missing persons / murders with a similar MO, which YOU confirmed Thai police were.

Now, is it "rampant speculation" to even imagine the possibility of his DNA being found on one of the other suitcase murders in Pattaya?

Or, is that just too much "rampant speculation" by police to even consider running his DNA, should they have DNA from an unknown person in the other Pattaya murders?

You keep trying to make it out that I think he is a serial killer. I have never said that. All I have ever said is Thai police, and police in Australia, will be looking into this guy for any possible connection to cold cases with a similar MO, which you have even confirmed is taking place in Thailand.

I agree. Those earlier cases are cold. DNA or a confession (if he did do them) would be the only way to link them.

It’s impolite to cut just a few words from a post in order to give the impression that something different was said. Please don’t do that.

The full section from my post was:

“Hmm, no rampant speculation from you? Just for fun I cut a quote from your previous post. Here it is.

“What if he says he knows the location of another body / bodies and he will confess to the killing / killings for a reduced sentence and / or prisoner exchange? The body / bodies being In Thailand and / or Australia.

If in Australia, now it becomes a diplomatic issue.”

I’m tired of keep quoting your posts which contain “what if” this and “what if” that. If you don’t regard them as rampant speculation, then fine.

People reading your posts can make up the own minds about what is fact, and what is speculation, rampant or otherwise. I don’t need to highlight them, they are there for all to read.

OK. only a 15 minute edit window now but I would have said the reason I was able to find the Daily Mail and Guardian articles specifically mentioning the 2 unsolved murders was via Gemini AI.

But I'll give a totally out of left field thought about the 2 unsolved:

They were done by a Thai guy, not a farang.

DNA is not like fingerprints. Takes a while. Also, I would think the police in Australia would be interested in getting his DNA profile and running it.

As mentioned in another post, they may or may not have DNA from an unknown person in one, or both, of the other suitcase murders.

If they do, the question isn't "Why should they run his DNA?" The question is, "Why shouldn't they run his DNA?"

It's the opinion of one member that they have him cold for this murder, just charge him, convict him, sentence him, and that's it. However, there may be other victims, and police should investigate further to get some justice for the family of any other potential victims, here, and in Australia.

Again, if they want you to do everything, that means you failed in raising them; you didn't teach them the skills or knowledge to succeed in life. So many parents think just producing the child and keeping them fed and clothed is good parenting.

Actually No,

He was killed in a road accident when I was 18 months old. Furthermore, I specifically referred to advice in my post.

As stated before, (my sons are well-educated and have the relevant abilities and social skills to cope by themselves), I am there for advice, but not to take care of their problems daily. It's called growing up and maturing.

That is how people learn, not by running to Mum and Dad with every small problem.
