Murdered British backpacker’s parents ‘GRATEFUL’ killers’ death sentences reduced to life in jail

[ukrules]

Life imprisonment in Thailand is a little different to other countries I believe.

[DaveE13]

I agree with a previous poster. After a certain time they will finish their sentences back home

I read the story and there were just as many guesses and imaginings as facts. 

 

How do you know that "he was being completely honest" and what makes you think that "he didn't try to make things up"?  Do you know him?

 

"You should judge the whole article in its completeness , not judge the whole article on a few sentences".

I did, perhaps you should also.

The Burmese two were at a party all night with his girlfriend .

That was one important fact  

Well, he said it was a fact but, unless you know him, you have no way of knowing whether it's true or not.  You're believing the anonymous person, that doesn't make it fact.  His Reddit story is all anecdotal in the absence of evidence.

The facts?  How do you know that they were facts?  Those "facts" just internet opinions.  Just because members here discuss things doesn't make them fact, does it?

You haven't got a TV then, you don't read the news on the Internet, you don't read TVF news topics to chat about......Are you from the "Hang 'em High" brigade...?  ????

Do you have any business dealings on Kao Tao and do you have any affiliation with the murderers, have you ever met the murderers ?

So, from hearsay, not from evidence, then!  

From reported facts 

No, from reports.   Reports aren't necessarily facts!

I haven't stated one way or the other which is opinion is correct (I've just called into question some comments) but none of that, TV, internet or forums, makes subjective reports factual!

Good.  The death penalty is barbaric.  Why doesn't Thailand just join the civilised world and ban it altogether?

It is very rare for Thailand to execute anyone.  One person in the last 11 years.

Most of the murderers defenders seem to be reliant on tourists visiting Kao Tao

I've made come comments about posts here on Thaivisa, I haven't defended anyone.  

 

Which murderers are you referring to, the alleged one(s) on Koh Tao or the convicted murderers in prison?

True.  And when they did in 2009 it was two Thai drug dealers.  Barbaric.

Wow quite a surprise to many...... if true admittance?

If I was sitting on death row awaiting execution  , I myself would "admit" to it

"...unlikely a Thai could not do this..." ?

 

The likelihood of him having said that is very remote.  You've overdone the negatives.

Boy you are sure out of the gates signing up and posting to everyone's comments. 

 

As it could not be taken any other way as from what I wrote even if I wrote it with another negative by mistake.

 

Corrected: "is on record saying it was unlikely a Thai could not do this type of grizzly murder.

 

That better now?:

It could be taken another way!  What you posted was exactly opposite to what the PM had said, and to what you meant, that's not my fault.  If you had written it with another negative it would then have said what you meant, in a very convoluted way!

Was it, fair enough , hang the Burmese 2 at dawn tomorrow 

[Purdey]

Seems everyone except me knows who the real killers were. Did the British police know?

[Loongharkok]

Two innocent men will rot in jail until they die whilst the Red Bull w*nker roams the globe.

Thailand will be considered fixed when their respective positions are switched.

I still don't believe they were guilty beyond all doubt.

Poster Crash999 is also wrong with this statement:

- Unlike other Burmese the two fled. One changed his appearance. This was before they were suspected of the murder. 

 

The "Two" did not flee.  Zaw Lin was arrested at his place of accommodation 2 weeks after the murders.  Wai Phyo was apprehended as he was leaving the island, again 2 weeks after the murders.  Neither had changed their appearance.  Yes, there was talk that Wai Phyo had died his hair blond but at the time of the murders, when he was seen on CCTV in a shop and on the back of a motorbike, and until his arrest 2 weeks later, his hair was its natural colour, i.e. black.

The girls parents did not believe the Burmese were the killers Hanna's (sp.) sister came out to Thailand and to Kho Tao to try and find out more she was first offered money to forget it which she refused then warned to keep her mouth shut and leave Thailand with the kind words to tell her parents to make another daughter!

Only partly true.  Hannah's entire family came to Thailand after the murders and attended the start of the trial in Koh Samui.  They did not visit Koh Tao (although the Millers did).  They were abused by the Thai authorities with insensitive comments and allegedly offered blood money (which they refused) whilst in Thailand and Hannah's sister, Laura, later wrote about it when back in the U.K.  Laura's comments were widely reported in the U.K. press and consequently she was threatened by the chief of the RTP with being prosecuted under the Computer Crimes Act!  Laura sadly died last year but right up until her passing, she doubted the two Burmese were guilty.
