He does not look the least bit concerned that he killed someone. The one behind even smiling for the camera.

As i have posted before a Thai will commit murder before he will lose face, and now it has happened.

Face, face, face cannot lose face no matter what.

Having the fact that he had not paid his bills posted on facebk, he lost face, so had to do something, and that something was murder.

The killer will probably blame Facebook.

Sadly you might be correct. He will almost immediately be granted bail and the case will just 'disappear' in the system.

Maybe if he spent his money on his debts rather than what appears to be fatty foods, there would not have been any issues !

Murdering an innocent person. What could anyone do to lose more face than that?

It all looks very relaxed for a murder investigation

Just because there mightn't be any more in the English language press about it doesn't mean nothing will come of it.  He will go through the courts and be sentenced to a lengthy jail term.

Might get to court. Much depends on if he can settle the family's 'blood' money and pay off the police.  Also what influential connections he has. Even if found guilty he can appeal for ever, while still walking about free. It's a corrupt legal system. I have had a taste of it (as a witness in court) . Not nice or fair.
