Police suspect murder in hanging death of retired Dutch teacher

[zhounan]

They're are doing all the possible to let foreigners quit the country. Look at the cop laughing in front of a death farang body in the picture. The institutions also laughing at the this man's relatives talking about suicide for love.

This is NOT respect dignity, humans.

Definitely No good times for white people in the world...

Neither am I an expert, but: hang a rope around your neck, connect the cable tie behind your back, tighten the cable tie (lots of excess plastic so easily doable, kick away or jump from the chair you're standing on, and you're hanging there with no way to get back on.

yes looks like it could be the brother of his wife , he stayed there and knew what was going on and knew where best to hang him , its impossible to walk around the house and garden which they will have done and not spot a body swinging there in the wind , verdict the brother did it to get hold of some money from the house sale

I'm not an expert, but it seems to me that it would be very difficult to: 1) tie your own hands behind your back, and 2) then hang yourself.... just saying...

Actually it's not, I've seen it before on a number of occasions and it's a surefire way of not being able to change your mind when you kick the chair away!  That said, as in this case and in similar circumstances in the UK, any case such as this should always be treated as a suspicious death and investigated accordingly.

Heard he signed over the house to her not long ago. So guess she is now happy and just waiting for a heart attack ????

 

 

or accident, or suicide, stroke, drowning, shower electrocution, etc etc.

Beware of Thai wife or girlfriend's family members.

Strict rule; Don't let them in to live with you. Don't lend them any money EVER. It's asking for trouble.

If you have to build a house together to give her future security, do it slowly brick by brick over many years and rent a place where you want to be most.

A village house should only cost around 1 million or less.

staged suicide ? if he was murdered one would have thought that the perpetrators would have untied his hands after his death.

Not smart enough

Unlikely suicide I would of thought if his hands were cable tied first. Added to that bruising on his body. Poor guy.

Not uncommon for foreigners who commit suicide to tie their hands together if reports from the police are anything to go by.

Suicide a little over the top if his hands were tied with cable ties.the family are the ones that should be answering what happened.wonder if the police will do anything

[Pattayabeerbacon]

SCREAM BLOODY MURDER!!!!!!

[gk10002000]

So often a recent argument,  then the death.  Bruises and a proper autopsy

[amykat]

They probably forgot that he would speak Dutch with his family and sent the suicide notes in English, they probably never really heard him speak Dutch anyway ...thereby tipping off police??

This is terribly sad, he has been the teacher of my children. He taught robotics, technology and physics and was a very nice and beloved man. He always went to Thailand on vacation and went to live there after his retirement.

.....

 

For the last 15 years he has built a life there, built a house, taught children there and did sports with them, a very strange story about hanging up, rest in peace, dear uncle????
