chama Posted December 12, 2018 Share Posted December 12, 2018 The girl friend had nothing to do with it. The tourist was buying too many donuts and the cop was afraid he would not leave enough for the cop. And the tourist never offered any tea money....very bad etiquette. Expect to see this on the travel brochures shortly. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

He didn’t want to play their game and a fight broke out. Do you honestly believe everything is above board given the cop ran off. ...or you could just read the reports about what actually happened. Why go with bizarre speculation when the real events have been clearly reported? Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

sanemax Posted December 12, 2018 Share Posted December 12, 2018 2 hours ago, katana said: In today's Thairath they said the policeman had prior history and had been involved in shooting and killing a taxi driver in 2012. The policeman claimed self-defence and that he had been on duty at the time investigating the taxi driver for drugs offences and that the taxi driver had tried to knock him over with his taxi. Thairath also reported that the policeman and Frenchman had known each other for over a year. On the day of the shooting the Frenchman's Thai gf had been complaining to the policeman about her unfaithful bf in the bar. The Frenchman had seen her talking to the policeman and the altercation between the two began then. Seems like they're getting their excuses in already. Or maybe that is what happened ?

The shooter is a coward who got a gun when he lost a fist fight. PS: This happens quite a bit. His girlfriend probably told him after the first fight, at least it would be plausible Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

MaxYakov Posted December 12, 2018 Share Posted December 12, 2018 Thai TV (3) just devoted a segment to this murder. Among other things, It showed CCTV footage of the fist fight between the alleged shooter and the victim in the Soi where the bar is. The Frenchman got him with a good one and the alleged shooter fell down on his back. That's all they showed. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Well very stupid thing to do, a fist fight with a Thai will only lead to loss of face and this was a cop so 10 times worse. From my understanding this French-Algerian guy lived in Thailand so he was not a tourist , he really should have known better. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Not a tourist, staying in Thailand and without a job according to https://www.thailande-fr.com/actu/69445-un-francais-abattu-par-un-policier-ivre-a-bangkok .

If you read the post they were in a pub... I doubt very much if the "cop" was in uniform, however if he was an "old flame" of the g/f she might have said to the boyfriend to keep calm as it would not be a good ending !!

It happened before 8am, some time before the Trendy is open for business, not many people around at that time. According to the BP, the victim was shot twice, in the hip and in the chest.

terje johnsen Posted December 13, 2018 Share Posted December 13, 2018 its very interesting reading this comments i should have beer and popcorn. why talk thaimen have low iq and loose face etc only 2 people know the trouth and the 3. is shot dead must he rest in peace. its better you all use curtesy when speak to eachother and not post lies and fantacy. if the dead man is an algerian and the cop get free i will never get near that police station. one day algerians will seek revenge and they are good at making bombs.

sirocco Posted December 13, 2018 Share Posted December 13, 2018 yes, Algerian, born in Algeria, exactly in Algiers, living in Paris.

MyFriend You Posted December 13, 2018 Share Posted December 13, 2018 I haven't read all 18 pages but has anyone picked up on the Title "Policeman shoots dead male tourist........" case is closed now, the "tourist" was dead before he shot him. In fact he wasn't a tourist at all, been living in Thailand over seven months, the reason for this fight on Soi 11?? Only the GF and the Cop can tell that one. As one posters said, Algerians are very good at extracting their "pound of flesh" when they are wronged.........they will bide their time and when its right?? who knows what will happen.

madmen Posted December 13, 2018 Share Posted December 13, 2018 He made a mistake running into the trendy. Would have been better to run straight to Sukhumvit as there are cops occasionally or at least the shooter may have been put off by the presence of foot traffic Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
brewsterbudgen Posted December 13, 2018 Share Posted December 13, 2018 Another Thai cop, another tourist murder in cold blood. Saudi diplomats gunned down in central Bangkok during the aftermath of the Blue Diamond Affair. Kanchanaburi double execution of two English tourists by off-duty cop Somchai Wisetsingh in Kanchanaburi. Assassination of Canadian Leo del Pinto and attempted assassination of Carly Riesig in Pai by off-duty cop who was protected by his colleagues, allowed to roam free and later bludgeoned his pregnant wife to death. Those just off the top of my head. Anyone here comparing Thailand to or making an equivalence to the West needs their head examined. Seriously. Nonsense. It now seems the victim and the killer knew each other, and the murder was a tragic love-triangle "crime of passion". Trying to normalise this horrible crime and putting it down to an ignorant tourist and typical Thai cop behaviour is ridiculous but not unusual on this Forum.Sent from my SM-G930F using Thailand Forum - Thaivisa mobile app Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

I'm relying on the only information that is available from different media sources and that it all fairly consistent now. The other thing that I'm relying on is certain information from the bar concerned which I know very well. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
