Acquiesce Posted March 15, 2007 Share Posted March 15, 2007 25 Year Old German Student Killed In Ram, gay guy that was on gay.com You made the title over dramatic and rather misleading.

"Killed at R.U." or AT RAM .... but since he was killed in the Ram area ... I used the appropriate words. <but nice contribution!> I can't begin to tell you how sorry I feel for this kid's parents! They will be learnign way too much about their son, and after he is dead! a very sad thing! Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

THAILIBAN Posted March 15, 2007 Share Posted March 15, 2007 many of us knew him in person. he posted his foto hundreds of times on the numerous gay Thai websites. and probably had a different guy every night. even he was so young at 25, he always lied about his age, saying he is 20..... anyway, nobody deserves such thing, may he rest in peace and condolences to his family where they probably dont know anything about his lifestyle.... I am sure, the murderer will be caught quickly.... Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

I didn't know him in person only from gay.com and the thai language websites etc. I think it is a HUGE (and inappropriate) comment to assume that he had a different guy every night! Yes he lied about his age. (I thought that was odd being only 25) Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

pop_corn Posted March 16, 2007 Share Posted March 16, 2007 I don't really think is fair to judge his life style. here in Bangkok a bunch of heterosexual guys take different girls to their places every night, what is the difference? in between a guy taking girls, and a guy taking guys? not much. aids doesnt look for homosexuals only, so I think his life style is not the matter here. no one should talk about it. please people, show some respect for a young boy who was murdered.

frodo Posted March 16, 2007 Share Posted March 16, 2007 What a shame to see this young man brutally murdered like this. Though I didn't know him, I had seen him on various websites and in chat rooms as well. I do hope they find the murderous SOB. I must agree with others here, who really cares if he is gay. A brutal murder such as this saddens the heart. RIP Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

THAILIBAN Posted March 16, 2007 Share Posted March 16, 2007 (edited) In Khaosod .co.th , the story is that his boyfriend killed him…because he found out that the victim was allegedly hiv pos as what I know he was NOT HIV-pos. they did a testing last night after finding the body..... but this will be certainly confirmed from an official side soon. I know some more details but can not talk about it here at this stage (but I am VERY sure the murderer will be identified quickly), so we all have to wait until authorities make official statements Edited March 16, 2007 by THAILIBAN Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

leisurely Posted March 16, 2007 Share Posted March 16, 2007 I haven't read all of this thread,but what I think is that people are losing sight of the fact that someone is DEAD.

Jingthing Posted March 16, 2007 Share Posted March 16, 2007 (edited) What a horrible way to die. This is a crime, however, and the facts about the victim's life are relevant. This guy wasn't your everyday farang gay in Thailand. He was actively on the selling end of the prostitution game here in Thailand. This is more or less public info now; if it is new to you, so be it. I think the bottom line is that many farangs do invite strangers back to our homes in Thailand, and this carries the risk of crime here just like anywhere in the world. Meeting people on the internet is probably particularly risky. Edited March 16, 2007 by Jingthing Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

OP, go to gay.com and discuss it there if that is what you want. In this guys case, it is not that he was gay, but that he was extremely promiscuous and also working as a prostitute. As we all know, that job in Thailand is supposed to be for Thai nationals only (said with irony). Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
