You GO and get the suspect in for questioning. You DO NOT ask or summon or whatever stupid terms you gits want to use, to get the SUSPECT to turn up!

You do realise that the police in most instances give their press statements in Thai, right? Then someone or someones translate that press release into English. The skills in the ability to translate can have vast ramifications in the nuance of the original press release.

 

Why are so many people taking this translation as gospel? I would have thought after a while in Thailand people have grasped the concept of things sometimes getting 'lost in translation." It seems not.

Perhaps he has used the bag before without gloves, thus leaving fingerprints.

Then his DNA would be on the bag, not at the crime scene.

Hope they had more than that to go on.

Perhaps not as he was just summoned for questioning. They didn't execute the kill option.

 

I wonder how they collected the killer's DNA. It should sort this guy out one way or another. 

 

i wonder where the perpetrators DNA is...as he had gloves and hair covered, highly unlikely there will be any at the scene..maybe the spent bullet case..slim chance as reasonable amount is needed for analysis.

"The deputy police chief, Pol Gen Chaiwat Kateworachai, meanwhile, asked the robber to turn himself in within 10 days, saying that he will be caught sooner or later."

 

That old chestnut, expecting him to give himself up, after such a heinous crime.

As history will prove, not every miscreant, who has been asked to surrender, does so ! 

Well, this Suspect DID turn himself in as you will see, 

if you care to read the full article.

So they can rip into the Thai police. Any excuse. Anything Thai.

Similar height and a red bag, a bit of a tenuous connection to say the least - a sop for the media if you ask me, to give the appearance they're doing something. I still go for the gun nut with gambling debts from an influential family angle

This is most likely just a tip off from the public as a result of their media releases.   Reasonable to speculate theat the cops don't think he done it.   They're just doing due diligence in excluding possibilities.

There’s more chance of the Red Bull heir returning to Thailand and handing himself in than the Police arresting the right guy for this crime !

I wonder how they found him nong khai is far away from where it happened.his face covered up,lets hope he is that person

Which article did you read? ????

 

The Thai PBS article I read said nothing of the sort. 

 

"The Nong Khai police called the man in for questioning "

 

Translation: "Round up the usual suspects" [Casablanca, 1942].

 

Do you think they just rang him up?  Messaged him on Facebook?

 

Obviously they sent a heavily armed squad out to escort him back to the station, Bro.

 

The article was written this way to save FACE for the suspect, in case they were wrong.

 

 

 

 

If he is proven innocent he will be released. That's what they say. Disturbing a bit... Thai democracy and rule of law...

Should have been,

20 armed police surrounded the uspect & brought him in for questioning not

summonsed for questioning.

I hope he is being tailed

It must just be the translation. "Summoned for questioning" !

If he is the shooter/murderer/robber, summonsing would seem to be the equivalent of "notice to run".

Maybe this is a repeat of the Red Bull fiasco. Hope not !

Given the appalling nature of this crime, if summoned, an innocent person would go to clear their name. If this person doesn't go...

Assuming all they've got is DNA evidence and that came from the shell casings found at the scene, it's quite possible that it isn't the prep's DNA. It's quite feasable that A.N. Other handled the shells and the perp only handled them when wearing gloves.

 

The perfect way for a guilty man to exhonerate himself, particularly as the RTP are incapable of thinking outside the box.

i bet he is from Myanmar

Thai friends tell me it is well known who the shooter is. Go figure.

this khon-rai is pretty lazy & dumb, if he went all the way to nong khai still carrying the red shoulder bag and shed all other visible call signs !!

But if he is innocent lucky they did not carry out their orders to shoot to kill.

I guess you only read the bible

How will they catch this man when Taksin still on the loose with his daughter. No one cares in other countries if you have money? Robbing from Gold shop give any clues?

Same DNA as they used for the Myanmar scapegoats?

 

did they catch him?

He was summoned because he fit the physical description and he has a red shoulder bag? I wonder how many Thai people are of the same size and have a red shoulder bag....or had before they got rid of them to not be a suspect.
