1) Is there any evidence that the house was ransacked?

 

2) Signs of a struggle on the victims body?

 

The only thing we have to go on was he was found in bed.  How did the "thief" enter unheard?  Maybe the victim invited the "thief" in?  Does his ex have an alibi?

Just spitballing...

 Pretty much exactly what I was thinking.

Well, it’s not that simple. He could have died from an injury to one of the lungs, the heart, nicked or severed artery or a combination of  the previously mentioned possible injuries. And yes, it’s nitpicking, but when it comes to murder they wanna know exactly what the cause of death was. 

ex-wife coming over...hmmmm......curious of her phone texts before

English teacher from Germany, interesting accent I'm sure.  

well, he bought them a house, so that was nice

definitely related to covid stress

knife in your chest.....seems personal, I think he knows the killer

 

CSI will solve this before lunch

 

Me says interview wife's relatives. 

Yeah, strange case - single stab to the chest,  knife left behind, guy found on his bed; guess there might be some fingerprint evidence.

Looking at the place he lived (one room Thai rental) and his occupation (unemployed teacher), I wouldn't think he was worth robbing.

More likely the ex-wife who 'found' the body, or a 'girlfriend'.

What does that have to do with this man's death? Bit off topic, wouldn't you say? 

A stab at establishing a motive for this crime I think  !

This on another forum 

Mrs Sriwan also told police that although they had parted ways, she continued to visit him regularly. She said he called her on Tuesday, saying his mother had just sent him 40,000 baht from Germany, and asking her to go with him to pick it up.


When she arrived on Wednesday morning, she said, she discovered his body.

Perhaps it is suicide. The BiB will have it correctly sorted shortly.

That's why at home I have a German Shepherd and a Doberman, now training our pup German Shepherd  to go out with me.

Very nice dogs, but they are expensive to keep and also need a large house. A German teaching in some obscure school in some dusty small town may not have been able to afford such luxuries.

My Thai wife and I agree that the Police will NOT investigate. They will not even make an Autopsie, too expensive. A Doctor will just confirm the death. First suspect would be the ex wife who said she discovered the body, second suspect the current wife. But the Police will not even take fingerprints on the knive. There was also a murdered German once here in Ban Phe, shot in the head. No investigation was done, case closed

to do with the article .....   stop smoking that stuff

 

I had feeling that I might end up like him if I decided to live with someone in Chiang Mai. 

Scary.

when this happens will they look at the ex wife.s family.i imagine a unsolved murder with no suspect

Odd was on his bed and knife near . Think sounds like he had enough more than an attack or burglary gone wrong.

I actually have known some retired guys who teach here having very comfortable pensions, guys teaching who have money and so forth just in order to stay. Your statement is probably not justified.

Yeah but you look at it one way and a Thai hungry for money or drugs will look at it totally in a 360 degree way.

Huh? Any money that they could get while assuming foreigners are walking wallets. Even a few thousand is a win win for them.
