Big Joke: Suspect in slaying of Thai jeweler has admitted the crime

 

Picture: INN

 

Immigration Chief Lt-Gen Surachate was reported on INN as saying that the suspect in the slaying of a female Thai jeweler in Lat Prao earlier in the week has admitted to the crime. 

 

Surachate said the weight of evidence against Mzwakhe Memela, 38, was irrefutable. 

 

Thai police are sending fingerprints to Canadian authorities after the suspect fled to Vancouver via Hong Kong. They are confident of getting him back to Thailand to face charges.

 

Surachate said that Memela tried to get into Hong Kong before flying to Canada. 

 

The Canadian authorities are willing to send him back to face a charge of premeditated murder, he said. 

 

Surachate told the press that Memela had entered Thailand twice on tourist visas and probably knows people in Vancouver. He claimed that he has admitted to the crime.

 

Thaivisa notes that no mention was made in the story regarding potential difficulties the Thais might face with extraditing someone from Canada to face a capital charge in Thailand. 

 

Thirty five year old jeweler Susama Reunrit from Kanchanaburi was found wrapped in a sheet in a room at a hotel in Lat Prao Soi 130 on Sunday. She had been bludgeoned to death.

"The Canadian authorities are willing to send him back to face a charge of premeditated murder, he said," really, all this before any extradition request.

Confusing.  Nothing in Canadian news about it that I saw.  

 

 He has admitted to the crime. -- So he must be in custody of the RCMP 

 

And what he says ^ No way Canada just said "yeah we'll send him back" that quickly

No problem at all, just tell the Canadians that he won't face a death penalty, but the maximum of 175 years in a maximum security facility. Problem solved. (Oh, by the way, he will eligible to apply for parole after 85 years).

There doesn't have to be an extradition request if the defendant agrees to be returned.

Yea. Send me back to Thailand, please. I hear great things about their police force, judicial system and prisons. Oh, and they still have the death penalty there, right?

Yep. Absolutely nothing in the Canadian media about this case. And as others noted, no way will the suspect be sent from Canada to Thailand if he faces the death penalty. So all the Thai claims are just made up. 

[wxyz1]

Yeah, but he didn't bother revealing the motive!

[sammieuk1]

Looks like he will go to the ends of the earth to hunt down foreign crims and as far as Pattaya for home grown ones ????

Good job to have so rapidly apprehended the culprit abroad.  By the way, what about the Red Bull manslaughter suspect,  heir ?
