Photo: Eakkapop Thongtub PHUKET: German national Nico Papke, a 36-year-old fitness instructor in Phuket, has been sentenced to serve more than eight years in jail for the murder of his girlfriend Pischa ‘Lek’ Nampadung, for stealing her ATM card and for a drugs-related charge. Papke, from Altdöbern, Germany, was arrested for the murder Ms Pischa, 35, on July 11 last year after her body was found dumped in the jungle in Wichit two days earlier. Ms Pischa’s body was found wrapped in blankets and bound with sticking tape beside the road about 600 metres along the newly graded track leading into the jungle north of the cement factory on Muang Chaofa Rd.

Thaiwrath Posted September 15, 2018 Share Posted September 15, 2018 she no longer had feelings for me and that she missed her Israeli ex-boyfriend,” He should have moved on then, he would probably be in a better position than he is now. Not sure the other inmates will be happy with this 'farang' killing a Thai citizen, but that's his problem to face.; Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

dddave Posted September 15, 2018 Share Posted September 15, 2018 Odds are, five years from now he'll be out of prison or perhaps sent to Germany to serve a few years. He really does deserve 20 years in Ban Kwang; Nigerian Block. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

It is not automatic, it is up to the court to set the sentencing and they are allowed to reduce sentences by up to 50% if they plead guilty, again it is their decision, not the prosecutor. And there is no way of determining if the evidence was incontrovertible in the eyes of the court as when a guilty plea is entered no evidence will be submitted by the prosecution.

My friend and her Thai partner got sentence for 20 years for stealing 100k+ baht ?. The maximum sentence for a single theft is 5 years, however the sentence can be increased in circumstances such as it having taken place at night, involving burglary, using a gun, impersonating a police officer, stealing off their employer, stealing public property, stealing from a temple, being involved in a gang, etc. and these can all be added together, so a gang member stealing someones money having broken into their home at night while carrying a gun can receive a much longer sentence than someone who just saw a bag sat unattended and walked off with it, and rightly so I feel. So, just what was it about your friends thieving case that allowed the court to quadruple her sentence? Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

NamKangMan Posted September 16, 2018 Share Posted September 16, 2018 Several posts comparing different sentences for various crimes. Sadly, in Thailand, the social status of the victim plays a large part in the severity of the sentence. Commit a crime against a prostitute from Issan and the sentence will be one amount, commit the same crime against a "hi-so" here, and for sure your sentence will be a lot harsher, particularly so on Phuket, if the victim is a respected member of one of the big dozen families here. Not to mention, using the above scenario, one family can be paid off, and the other family doesn't need the money. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Lupatria Posted September 16, 2018 Share Posted September 16, 2018 This "justice system" is a bad joke. Others shoot a cop in the face in full view of guests in a disco, go on a one year vacation to Malaysia, and on return get promoted in the army... As another poster said, they should have handed him to her relatives and yes, in cases like this I have no problem with mob law. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

I wonder how many of us reading that burst out laughing. Obviously I could never ever ever ever do it under any circumstances but it does shed a humorous light on how excruciating painful a marriage can be. Men were simply not genetically programmed for marriage no matter which way you cut it, dice it or slice it. If it weren’t for raising children and the wish to keep a loving and stable environment for them the vast majority would simply opt out at some point, and some indeed do. Putting it another way...If I lost my wife or she divorced me I would never ever ever ever get married again! One should never make such absolute claims, but I feel strongly that this is the one exception to that rule! Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Not more than 8 years for a gram of cannabis, which is what you claimed, isn't it? That would be more like 8 months, if any time at all, its normally a fine.

Krataiboy Posted September 16, 2018 Share Posted September 16, 2018 The Phuket News report says the prosecutor in the case "declined to confirm exactly what charges were finally pressed against Papke in court and that he "could not reveal the details" of the trial. Why? I'm no expert on Thai law, but I gather the Criminal Procedure Code stipulates that a criminal hearing should be held in open court, which presumably means that the public and Press have a right to be present. Was this case heard in camera and if so, why? Certainly this would explain the lack of media coverage of the actual trial and the a somewhat sketchy and unsatisfactory belated disclosure of the proceedings by the prosecution. Maybe some legal eagle can swoop in with an explantion. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
