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

I give the police credit for both solving the crime and catching the perps, however many years behind their methods were in this case.

This sickening display continues in the country of keystone kops law enforcement. Police in Thailand couldn't solve their way out of a paper bag.

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.

Dont forget Essex.

If you are a needle then hide with a bunch of needles....should have changed his appearance and gone Pattaya or Sukhumvit...people last years in these places before being picked up. He tried to hide where he sticks out like a sore thumb....couldn't find the shakes head emoji.

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

1. There is an element of public atonement and confession by the criminal, which appears to be important in Thai culture, perhaps due to Buddhism.

2. It helps reassure the public that the accused actually perpetrated the crime, that justice has been served.

3. The community is comforted by actually seeing the perpetrators humbled by their public re-enactment of the crime.

4. The public is given an opportunity to express their emotion about the crime which helps reinforce societal norms.

5. The wider general public receives a better understanding of what actually happened.

6. The police are given an opportunity to receive the gratitude of the community for having protected them.

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. 

In an interview with his mother, she stated he is not a sniper. He served 3 months in the military and quit.

Drug test? For what? They confessed to murder

   Capital offense. Murder an innocent man for nothing. Off with their heads!
