Russian ex soldier denies everything despite "overwhelming evidence" in Pattaya exchange booth attack

 

Picture: Daily News

 

The Russian man suspected of attacking a Thai woman in a Pattaya exchange booth and making off with nearly 700,000 baht in cash has told police they have got the wrong man.

 

Nikolay Rybalov, 34, was arrested while attempting to leave Thailand at Suvarnabhumi airport with his Russian wife at the weekend.

 

Earlier Sunee Kaewyu, 30, was assaulted and robbed in the booth on Sukhumvit Road outside the Ambassador City Hotel in Jomtien.

 

The suspect was apprehended within ten hours of the crime.

 

Pol Gen Chalermkiat Sriworakhan said after a meeting at Na Jomtien police station yesterday that Rybalov "continues to deny everything despite overwhelming evidence".

 

He was found in possession of a black bag from the robbery. He said the money - 670,320 baht's worth of local and US currency - was his.

 

An associated motorcycle and car were found parked in the airport lot.

 

Pol Gen Chalermkiat said that the suspect was an ex military man who had come to Thailand a year ago and had failed to find work and seen his savings dwindle as a result.

 

He said he desperately needed money so that he could take it back to Russia to start over.

 

Investigations are continuing to see whether his wife was involved.

 

The suspect will be charged in court in Pattaya on Tuesday.

 

Meanwhile the owner of the booth Chatchaya Chaiyayongkoon, 33, presented a bouquet to the cops as thanks for their quick work in the case.

 

She said that Sunee had been hit 13 times and was recovering from facial injuries in a hospital in Sri Racha.

Give this Russian thug lots of jail time and tell the other prisoners what

he did to  the Thai lady

Geezer

[ezzra]

First of all he's guilty on foreign currency smuggling out of the country

as the law clearly says he HAS to declare any amount over 50,000 baht,

as for the robbery, well, he's guilty as sin....

 

[tingtongtourist]

not only a piece of crap, but a very stupid piece of crap to deny this when there is so much evidences.

 

a bit strange tho, he admits he desperate for money to take Russia and start again..

yet he has 600+baht in a bag???

how he explain that?

 

the way the article explains it just doesnt add up.

 

i think a few inconsistency in reporting as usual

as said before total scum and right about the roids frying his brain, he rides up on a scooter hired in his name, number plate in full view, he has got the stolen bag with him, yes bang to rights in my book, and everyone knows cctv, will finally catch up with him, and did not even have the brains to take off the number plate, well done the cops. please keep him here, let him rot in a thai jail, as if he is deported he will be among his mates, and here he will be Billy no Mates.

[balo]

Not a very smart Russian , did not cover his tracks , renting the bike in his own name etc. He must have been desperate . Easy job for the police in the end.

So guilty!

[inactiveposter]

He’s probably aware of the Thai justice system and is denying guilt until sentencing. After the sentence is announced, he’ll admit it and have his sentence reduced by half.

That won't work, you have to admit before sentencing, in fact that doesn't always seem to work, there was a case where the criminal admitted everything but only after the police showed him overwhelming evidence so his admittance of guilt made no difference to his sentence.

Sounds like he has taken lessons from his leader. You know, Vlad?

How you can draw a comparison to the US leader, DJT, just shows you're kind of confused on world geography. Russia "Deny everything, cry foul play". DJT "fake news". You mixed them together. Doesn't work.

Or maybe perfidious Putin's book?

[bangkoken]

A very dangerous person yet, never put in handcuffs by the Police. Not a good way to go about your business when arresting a guy this big and this violent. Twenty years in the NYPD taught me well.

[Xaos]

He said its his savings. Despite its all being small notes like 20thb they use that a lot in exchanges.

[Xaos]

They doing dna tests.
