More DNA of killed panther detected in knives and chopping board used by Premchai’s hunting team

By Thai PBS

 

 

As forensic evidence collection is still going on to press more charges on Italian Thai Development president and CEO Premchai Karnasuta and three others for poaching at Thung Yai Naresaun wildlife sanctuary, forensic scientists said they have found DNA of the slaughtered panther in two chopping knives and board seized from the hunting team.

 

The DNA test will be used to firmly tie Mr Premchai and his team to killing the panther.

 

But forensic scientist Dr Kanita Ouitavon, chief of the wildlife forensic unit of the Department of National Parks, Wildlife and Plants Conservation, said the chopping knives and chopping board were among 40 pieces of evidence sent for DNA test by the police.

I think by now everyone is satisfied they have enough evidence, so how about getting back to work and stop toying around with DNA already.

This is all getting rather ridiculous. It is becoming a game of finding as many semi-plausible excuses (there are no truly plausible ones available) to get Premchai of the hook.  The police are starting to look even more pathetic than usual. 

 

Did they check the DNA of the mushroom pickers? Evil barstewards they were. Think of all the pain they inflicted on that fungii.  

So their DNA testing machines can accurately detect panthers and Burmese workers.

More DNA of killed panther detected

 

They found almost a whole panther at the campsite. But still mucking around looking for more DNA.

Is the evidence that they have so far enough implicate Premchai as the killer?

A dead panther is not evidence of who killed it, they're looking for human DNA!

Well, it's too late to take a swab out of fatso's mouth. They could check between his teeth for bits of panther penis though.

God..... are we there yet...????

Of course, Just Weird. With the guy found at the scene camping ‘illegally’, who’s to say it’s not all just a huge coincidence. 

 

Why do you come on here and Bkk Post and do this? Trying to defend the indefensible? No wonder so many users tear all your poorly thought out ideas apart. 

They are taking this more seriously than they do when

a Human is murdered,suspect the Big game hunter will,

will slip through the net,while it looks like the cook is been

fitted up to be the fall guy.

If they found some in there, I take it the panther was dead already? Otherwise there could be bestiality charges appearing.

That wouldn't prove that he killed it either and that is what the investigation is trying to prove.  Who ate it isn't the issue.

Yes, eating endangered animals isn’t an issue. “He killed it, Officer. I just ate it”.

No its not a coincidence, however they will have to prove who pulled the trigger. I think this is the problem here. I doubt there is a law here that makes you guilty by association. I am sure they can find him guilty for a few things.. but won't be able to prove he actually pulled the trigger.

This is about establishing who killed the animal, not about who was there.

 

I'm not defending anyone but if I wanted to that would be my prerogative.   I'm rationally commenting on what is actually happening and what is trying to be done as opposed to so many others leaping in feet first and coming out with a load of old b ollocks.

 

"No wonder so many users tear all your poorly thought out ideas apart". 

Sorry to disappoint you but there are not so many that do that, there are one or two including you.  You are right when you say that they try to tear my views apart but that's all that they can do, try.

 

"Why do you come on here and Bkk Post and do this?"

Because as a member of a forum that invites comments that is my entitlement just as much as it is yours.  Just as you can ask questions, so can I, so, why do you comment here?

Bangkok Post?  You must be getting me confused with someone else.

If it was anyone else, he would be charged with "consuming a wild animal with criminal intent". It worked for charging the sandwich-eating students recently.

 

Oh..for Quetzalcoatyl's sake..he shot the panther,alright?

 

Do we really need a "selfie" with the rifle stuck up his freakin' nostril.?

 

How bored with this cloacal nonsense must you be?

No, it's not "alright"!

Did Premchai shoot it?  As there were four people there and only three guns someone obviously didn't shoot/kill it and you certainly aren't in a position to know who that person was.

I'm not bored with all the nonsense that most posters are saying, neither must you be as you're still commenting, unless, of course, you're trying to exert your (non-existent) authority to close the thread?

Do you know if they have to prove he shot the animal or is being there with a gun enough ?

 

If they need to prove someone shot an animal they are screwed as he won't be talking and maybe one of his minions will take the fall. 

 

The other charges carry far lower punishment, I worry he might get off because they can't prove who shot it. Unless Thai law has something that you were all there so all guilty.

Of course you are not.

 

That is why you awarded  yourself the sobriquet "Just Weird"

 

And ,I must say,no better appellation has ever been self selected by a hominid on this planet 

 

As  far as I am concerned he is just another porker with a gun.

 

Of course,he can always come up and discuss the issue with me some time.

Thanks for acknowledging that I do tear your ideas apart. It's not exactly hard, mind.

No one said that. You've just added 'try'. Read before you comment. 

I just wish they would conduct investigations into murder so thoroughly, instead of  " in another perplexing case a Farang hangs himself with his hands tied behind his back - we will try and find out how this talented man managed to commit suicide under such challenging conditions".

While I morn the loss of a unique and rare cat and like the rest of us would like to the the shooter face justice.

 

Just have to enjoy the show now, RTP and TIT.

Yep and what a show it is.

 

Makes the average colonoscopy look mundane,

 

Just how far are the investigators up the back passage just now?

 

Crikey..that kinda looks like a blockage..

Well it certainly seems they are full of sh!t.

Caught red handed at the scene, with the carcass, its missing genitalia, the weapon, the ammunition, the utensils, the bribes, the bribes and more bribes all recorded.....I think they could have wrapped it all up by now given the PM's personal backing!

 

But alas no, they're still playing with evidence to cook up the *real* story.

 

Do you understand what I was getting at now???

Because as a member of a forum that invites comments that is my entitlement just as much as it is yours.  Just as you can ask questions, so can I, so, why do you comment here?

Bangkok Post?  You must be getting me confused with someone else.  

I must remember this logic and rationale for if I ever decide to burgle a house. I'll bring some low-level acquaintances with me, along with a sack with bolt cutters and an alarm disabler, etc. I'll be sure not to have any of my DNA on anything. If caught by the police, I'll just deny I'm doing anything wrong other than trespassing. As long as my DNA isn't on the tools or stolen goods, they can't do anything to me, right?

 

I guess Thai police and courts don't do 'circumstantial evidence' through reasoning. You have to literally be caught with the smoking gun in your hand. Well, if you're rich, anyway. 

So what about news of his big turd they found near his vehicle? Have they forensically analysed that? People are waiting excited and breathless for news about that.

Sounds to me they're still searching for a way to exonerate him.
