    Interesting. Are they then suggesting that he went there to murder someone and the robbery was a diversion? Would surely have been easier to do the murder away from the CCTV.

Yeah, he had lots of debt. Clearly. A BMW and speedboat sit parked in his driveway. I'm in big teacher's debt, should I sell the 10 million baht worth of merchandise parked in my driveway? or should I go rob a random gold shop for a meager 500,000 baht? Let's knock off 5 people while I'm there just for kicks. You would have to be either delusional or have room temperature IQ to believe that this guy robbed the gold shop for money. Either this is a coverup or this was a hit made to look like a robbery. The only thing that makes sense is that the girl that he shot 3x was his side girlfriend that had suddenly become pregnant. But doubtful given how happy he looks in pictures taken the day after the murders. Most likely this guy is a scapegoat.

that doesn't look like someone with huge debts

House all paid for?

Saloon car all paid for?

Speedboat all paid for?

Another vehicle with tow bar to get the boat to water all paid for?

He's obviously been trimming his budget...has to wash his car without a bucket for the suds.

me thinks a wai and 500 baht won't suffice this time round 

Can not put my finger on it, but something about this just does not wash.

100% not the guy. 100% scapegoat. Poor chap. I don't care what kind of sociopath you are, nobody kills 5 people then takes his wife out to dinner and plays a game of football and smiles for a bunch of pictures. The guy looks as if he doesn't have a care in the world in his pics the day after the murders. Anyone that committed such a crime would have left Thailand long ago. No chance they go back to their hometown and it's business as usual. And to be able to hold it all together after murdering 5 people???? Give me a break, even the most ruthless stone cold killers don't have that kind of cool. Even the Thais aren't buying this one. The man was a well-respected teacher in his community and also quite loaded. Had 5++ BMWs, a personal yacht, a decent looking wife...why on Earth would this guy rob a store for a meager 500,000 baht? The Beamer in his drive way is worth at least 3 million baht in Thailand. The yacht in his drive way is worth 20 million at least. Everyone knows that you can't become a director of a school without taking lots of bribes and also without being super nice. Hence, where all his wealth comes from. Teachers in Thailand are quite often stupid rich if they work for the government. Poor guy. The locals all know who the real killer is. Guy that lived in this village that was x-military, history of mental illness, and related to high-up government officials. This is all about saving face. I wonder how long it took the police to find a guy to frame. Despicable.  Note to self: do not ever work at a shooting range while living in Thailand. Immediate red flag.

His BMW isn't worth cr*p it's old as hell. The supercar in some photos is a rental, he doesn't have a yacht.

He has an injury on his leg the same way the robber did. If he was really a scapegoat the police would've picked up some drug addict not the 'rich' man that you state.

Where's that photo from? How does a school director of 43 students afford that? I looked on his Facebook and  various news sites saw no photos of any vehicles like this.

Only saw a picture of his dad's house and it's a little wooden shack

Ahh.... the old Thai police "safe house" interrogation routine re-emerges.... :ph34r:

Gets a confession 100% of the time.

Right!  who writes this stuff!  you got stories he had a gambling problem?  then he knows important people!  they seem to have everything but the correct story!

DNA evidence? how did they have his DNA on file and know where to find him exactly? 

Don’t ask silly questions like that. Forget where we are?

Let's see how the evidence sticks up "Thai style ". Alibi?  Where he was at exact time of the event 

A school director with an injured leg, policeman as a father and a teacher as a mother. Doubt it's a scapegoat, they could've easily chosen a washed up druggy ex-soldier whom would've had less connections. 

More likely that he was trying to kill someone who was gonna ruin his life... Truth will come out eventually, this is just the first day.

That's what we are thinking but....we are falang.

Just another dumb Thai male desperate and angry

The robber looks to have smaller feet:

This was his car in 2018

If he was (without torture) willing to confess, then he would most likely be willing to provide the gun and gold as evidence. If he no longer has them, he would be able to tell police where they went. Then I would have confidence they had the right man.

Apparently the gun belonged to his father and was returned to the father, motorbike also returned to a family member, so presume the police hae all that as evidence already.

if there is enough material evidence proving his guilt beyond any doubts, this is another case where I wouldn't understand the benefits of keeping him alive in a prison.

TGW while I agree with you in truth the punishment of being in a Thai prison for many years is probably more harsh than a quick death.  In the USA I can tell you they shy away from the death penalty in part because it is far more expensive to fight the never ending appeals on a death case versus the cost of housing someone in prison for the rest of their life. 

Why is it in every other Country criminals never confess to their crime, even when it’s obvious they’ve done it, but in Thailand they just can’t wait to confess everything the minute their caught ???

Interesting turn of events. I surmised that it was a hit but you cannot be sure till the confession has been hammered......I mean write out and signed.

Police left the father’s house with evidence bags so that remains to be seen.

 The scooter was returned to the father in law’s and shown to news reporters.

All over the Thai web - he threw it in a river, apparently it’s been found.

 

Strange story - he was bored with his life and he wanted a challenge from what I can interpret. His freedom and life will be challenged now.
