Locals hurl insults as French and Thai murder suspects taken on reenactment at three places

 

 

Villagers in Phichit who heard that a reenactment was to take place watched as Beung Na Rong police took a French man and his Thai girlfriend on a three location reenactment of their crime.

 

Amaury Rigaud, 34, and Rujira Iamlamai, 37, were bombarded with insults as they showed what they had done in the slaying of 61 year old Italian Giuseppe de Stefani, the Thai woman's husband.

 

Earlier Rigaud, a former sniper in the French army,had admitted murder while Rujira admits to moving the corpse and damaging it. 

 

Police have charged them both with murder.

 

The couple - now believed to be the only two involved - were taken to three different locations in the reenactment that is a common feature of Thai police procedure.

 

First stop was near the reservoir where the corpse was burnt using two tires and gasoline bought at a coin-operated machine in a housing estate.

 

Second stop was where the murder actually took place in Klong Nong Mee. Rujira had driven there so the three could discuss the terms for the future of the relationship. An argument broke out and Rigaud said that he had used an Ito kitchen knife to slash the victim's neck until he was dead. They had then gone to buy the gasoline.

 

This all happened on January 19th.

 

They were then taken to a house in Laem Rang where the pair had cleaned up the car before fleeing to Tak.

 

In an isolated area in Tak on Sunday and Monday Rigaud was arrested first while camping out then Rujira was apprehended while hiding up a longan tree.

 

Thirty officers helped Beung Na Rong station chief Col Chaisathian Maneejak with the reenactment on Tuesday afternoon.

they should do a drugs test, purple pee for sure

You would think that a sniper with the French military would know how to dispose of a body properly, and cover his tracks. He obviously wasn't in any elite unit, or he would know exactly what to do, and to hide out sufficiently far from human habitation in order not to be discovered. Didn't even bother to shave off his beard. 

Frenchman confesses to murdering Italian love rival followed by attempt to burn body

By SAYAN CHUCHAM 
THE NATION

 

 

THE MUCH-PUBLICISED murder of an Italian man, in which his Thai ex-wife and her French boyfriend have been implicated, apparently has been solved after police said the Frenchman had confessed to the killing.
 

Pol Colonel Chaisathien Maneechak, from Bung Nara Police Station in Phichit province, said French national Rigaux Amaury, 34, had confessed to stabbing to death Giuseppe de Stefani, 61, during an argument about his affair with Rujira Eiumlamai, 38, on January 18.

 

 

Before the murder of the Italian, Amaury, Rujira and de Stefani reportedly travelled to a forest in Bueng Nara district by car. 

 

Police said the three had been travelling together to an unspecified destination when they stopped at a wooded area after a discussion about the issue escalated into a fight.

 

The men got out the car and de Stefani reportedly hit Amaury, who then then allegedly took a knife from the car and stabbed de Stefani in the neck.

 

Police said Rujira helped her boyfriend move the body into the boot of the car.

 

They then drove the car to another location, stopping along the way to buy petrol from a roadside vendor, and then tried to burn the body and de Stefani’s belongings at an area about 10 kilometres away from where the murder had been committed.

 

 

The suspects then stayed at a hotel in Pho Prathap Chang district, planning to return to the area with more petrol and tyres to finish burning the body the following morning. However, the remains of the corpse were found by villagers in the area, so Amaury and Rujira abandoned their plan, cleaned de Stafani’s blood from the car and fled the area.

 

Chaisathien said yesterday the suspects had been taken to perform a re-enactment of the killing and would be charged with premeditated murder and concealing a body.

 

Police arrested Amaury on Sunday night and then captured Rujira separately on Monday in a wooded area after residents in Wang Chao told police they had spotted them in the forest. 

 

Each initially blamed the other for killing de Stefani.

 

Rujira earlier told police that de Stefani had previously offered Amaury Bt100,000 to stop him from contacting her, but Amaury had refused to comply.

Ridiculous re-enactments. This country is 50 years behind  real police work.

This is one of the worst crimes you can see, so why re-enact it? The answer is photo shuts for the cops. We all know cops prefer you to plead guilty and try to enforce it on you even though are not guilty, (in this case it looks like they are) So bloody vain Thai cops, as love the camera too much and guys you are Fat, Ugly and Corrupt. The worst police force in the world except for NK, China and Russia.

Now where are the blurred faces as pm said should happen

Re-enactments. A Thai spectator sport.

Such enactment is a total waste of the taxpayers' money.

My goodness if that is average??? I would hate to see what but ugly looks like, or maybe that’s just her eternally damned soul making an appearance on her face. Completely evil and nasty human beings and I’m glad the locals turned out to hurl abuse at the two of these despicable miscreants.

I suspect drugs, more specificly meth amphetamine has a hand in this.

There is a direct link between the increase in violence and the rise in the use of meth. OK not really anything new, upsetting to see how it has affected my home town.

This particular girl is also huglly......but probably her husband make the mistake most foreigners here do. To buy a home or land on the wife's name, to keep too much money on his bank, etc, etc, and to believe that a much younger wife will not cheat or think about a new older foreigner husband to keep the "deal" rolling.... or a younger Thai stallion to share the benefits. Too many beautiful mid age women, and with its own money in Thailand, to get in trouble for "love"....

Thailand - Courts are no longer allowed to accept as evidence suspects’ accounts during their re-enactment of serious crimes after laws were amended to prevent a repeat of some high-profile criminal cases in which scapegoats were convicted.

But ...

Sri-amporn Salikup, chief justice of the Supreme Court (2013), said a re-enactment provides an imaginative model of how the crime is committed!

http://www.nationmultimedia.com/national/Legal-experts-query-need-for-crime-re-enactment-30208456.html

And ...

Police spokesman Prawut says (2015), "It allows us to understand more than we would just from interrogating him. He can explain what he did at the actual place.”  

Opposed ...

Pimpatsorn Natipodhi, a legal scholar with the Thailand Institute of Justice says (2015), “It serves mostly as PR for the police, to showcase to the public that police have done their job and solved a crime,”

A barbaric flaw in the Thai judicial system that continues despite alleged junta-government reforms.

'more good' ??? don't you mean 'better' <deleted> ? The English language is doomed !

Don't you know that many posters are not a native speaker? How many foreign languages do you not only speak yourself but also write perfectly?

The English language is doomed! Pfffffff

All i can see is Thainess and a Thai is saved.

 

Rest is compromised.

As much as I agree to the ineptitude of Thai Law Enforcement, the lack of cultural understanding among members of TV is perhaps more dumbfounding... You had access through more than 3 generations to structured education and civilised life, and yet lots here are as ignorant and belligerent as a chimpansee on rotten fruit...

Shes no oil painting. Im sure he could of got something better from Soi 6 Pattaya and without having to commit murder. 

 

Is that cop holding her hand? 

So, again the order to stop re enactments is disobeyed. Dereliction of duty surely. Oh! I forgot where I am.

What purpose do these bizzare re-enactments serve? I'm curious to know.

Civilised life, have you ever been to Barnsley?

My spin:

It helps the accused remember the details of their alleged crimes (details sometimes orchestrated by the police) so that the police have a persuasive story to tell the court in order to convict the accused. Perhaps with a (ahem) promise of a lighter sentence before the accused every steps into the courtroom?

The reenactment makes it more difficult later for the accused to alter or deny the reenactment in court. And should the accused do so, the court will likely have had already formed their opinion from the reenactment.

Death penalty!  Nothing less !!

I think the media should stop referring to them as "the Frenchman and his girlfriend" - maybe an ex-girlfriend since very little love bound them together since their arrest. A few days ago they were both pleading innocence and blaming the other.
