Police investigating the murder of a Welsh backpacker in Thailand have just seven days left to find her killer.

 

Kirsty Jones, 23, from Tredomen, near Brecon in Powys, was raped and strangled at a guesthouse in Thailand in August 2000.

 

Dyfed-Powys Police officers have been to the scene in Chiang Mai to help with the investigation.

 

But they only have a week before the 20-year Thai statute of limitations runs out on 10 August.

 

The Liverpool University graduate was three months into a two-year around the world trip when she was killed.

They have the DNA Code - so Charge the DNA string!  The lengthcan simply shortend to a number (shown to the power of E for brevity)

 - the 2 legged bearer of the code is simply the Mneumonic represented by it  

 

 

A bit like how a Stolen Car has its Plates Stolen... well, they still have its VIN Code on the body

So change the statute of limitations...........why on earth should anyone who has murdered think they can get away with it based on some arbitrary passage of time?

If they have known who it was for 19 years, nothing is going to happen now. Might stage a replay using the Tomoko Kawa<deleted>a case as a template after the statute of limitations runs out.

IIRC the police tried to frame a farang by planting semen at the crime scene. 

That's different to my recollection.

 

They tried to blame the guesthouse owner (French?), and tried to get a migrant worker to masturbate while under police custody, but besides the beatings he wouldn't do it, iirc.

 

The barstool experts cry Tony. But they know everything about everything, don't they. :coffee1:

Yeh, the semen they found on the Sarong that was used to strangle her... 

 

"They arrested Andrew Gill, the British owner of the guest house, and charged him with conspiracy to rape and murder with a person unknown. The 33-year-old had not called police immediately after the discovery of Kirsty’s body because, he later admitted, he was worried about being arrested as his visa had run out. But Mr Gill was later released after the State Attorney decided that there was insufficient evidence to proceed to trial. Crucially, there was no DNA to link him to the scene of the crime and he is now back in Britain"

 

Welsh Police had the DNA from the Sarong and it was given to Thai Police but no arrest was ever made.

I am surprised that murder has a statute of limitations. Imagine meeting someone over dinner who boasts of having murdered someone in their youth and got away with it. What would you say?

Common practice.

The Clock should only start Ticking after some Individual has been brought in for Questioning whilst their Liberty has been stifled... 

 

If a crime scene has been discovered with no one as yet being targeted for potential Charging... then the Limitations thing should not even as yet be relevant

 

someone can be unveiled and charged 50 years after the event for a war crime...  

 

Next they'll be saying that Cold Cases can never be reopened when Evidence as finally been found that might leading them to a suspect that wasn;t even known about until then 

 

 - why do the ops even bother having a FingerPrnts/DNA Bank??
