Police deny murder suspects have police family ties

Chonburi Provincial Police have denied online claims that four suspects linked to the murders of Russian siblings and a family of three have family ties to police officers. The force also said there was no evidence that the suspects had been supported, directed or used by police to commit offences.

The clarification was issued on 2 August 2026 after allegations circulated on social media and in some media reports. Those claims said the four suspects were children of police officers, had close connections to officers, or had carried out crimes on officers' behalf.

Chonburi Provincial Police said it had checked personnel registration records, investigative information and relevant evidence before issuing its statement.

Police say checks found no connection

According to the provincial force, its review found no facts to support claims that any of the four suspects was the child of a police official or had a relationship with police officers as alleged.

It also said investigators had found no evidence that the suspects received backing or instructions from officers, or committed crimes on behalf of police.

Investigation will continue, force says

Chonburi Provincial Police said all legal action in the cases would be based on evidence and the rule of law. It said there would be no discrimination or assistance given to offenders.

The force added that investigators would continue their inquiries, widen the investigation where appropriate, and prosecute every person found to be involved in accordance with the law.

It asked members of the public with information or evidence that could help the cases to contact police so it can be checked and acted upon.

Cleverly stated, the 4 arrested have no connections with police.

Are these four only the fall guys, like when a corrupt cop plants a handgun on the person they just shot and killed??

Something seems different, this case is getting a lot of visibility. On the same level as back when the Red Bull crashed and did not stop.

What made these two young Russians so important that the entire country is focused on this case?

No. Absolutely not. I feel infinitely safer here than I do in most major American cities. 99.9% of the violence and the murder is Thai on Thai, and this kind of thing is an absolute aberration. And we still have no reason to believe that this was absolutely random.

What I would agree with is that the officials really do not want us here, but they tolerate us and since I've never felt the need to be accepted anyway, it really doesn't matter one iota to me what they think. But my Thai friends think of us and what my wife's friends think of us is far more important to me.

The officials don't count, they've never done anything to benefit the people anyway so they're what I call the Invisible men. Using an agent for immigration purposes has helped a great deal to enhance my lifestyle here.

I don't think the police would get involved in petty crime such as dismantling a motorbike for parts.

You think that it should be brushed under the carpet and ignored? fFve murders all over the course of just a few weeks by the same people makes the case pretty important.

I would argue that this 👆is a low value post, because it is disingenuous - you know exactly who the poster is referring to, you’re just being you.

Some press reports have said so. As I recall it was evident from CCTV footage of when the perpetrators initially stopped the Russian youngsters at the side of the road in the early hours of the morning, as well as when they made their initial escape on a red motorbike.

"It asked members of the public with information or evidence that could help the cases to contact police so it can be checked and acted upon." So you can be disposed of in the same manner!

One would like to thinks so, but they are not particularly well paid, and likely covet the trimmings, or maybe carry an addiction.
