Thai police brought in to assist with the investigation into the death of a billionaire Thai/Indian couple in Koh Tao on Friday have said that everything will be done to ensure that the investigation is complete and removes all doubt. 

 

Royal Thai Police chief Gen Suwat Chaengyodsuk could even make a visit to the island in Surat Thani, southern Thailand. 

 

Meanwhile initial reports coming to Daily News from the Police Hospital in Bangkok where an autopsy is being carried out confirmed previously reported suggestions as to the cause of death made by local police on Koh Tao.

 

The couple - Rakeshwar Sachathamakul and his wife Anshoo - died from lack of oxygen. A large amount of water was found in their lungs. 

 

Toxicology tests are ongoing with thirty days until the results come through, reported the Thai media.

In an accompanying story Daily News quoted Pol Col Wirachan Khunchaikaew of the Crime Suppression Division who were brought in by Pol Maj-Gen Jiraphop Phuridech of the Central Investigation Bureau to assist local police.

 

Wirachan said that all angles were being investigated to determine if this was murder or an accident. He said it was important that all doubt needed to be cleared up.

 

Potential witnesses were being sought at the resort and the couple's timeline and contacts were all being checked. 

 

Depths of water at the swimming pool had been checked and the layout of the resort was being investigated for clues. 

 

Whether the CCTV at the pool was really broken was being investigated. 

 

Everyone with a relationship with the couple including their son will be investigated to see if they had any personal conflict with them. 

 

The son Rakesh, 34, found the bodies on Friday after he went for a walk. The media had insets presumably of him with an unidentified woman.

 

Who stood to benefit from life insurance policies would also be fully investigated said Wirachan. 

 

Meanwhile RTP chief Gen Suwat Chaengyodsuk is being kept closely informed of the investigation with the media saying that if it proves to be "complex" he say go to Koh Tao himself.

Stop it please, all angles were investigated.... That will be a first here, never before has that been done, and i personally doubt it will be done in this case.

haha "all angles covered" and then go on to list the very most basic things such as "how deep the pool is"... honestly what a joke! And they wonder why the Thai police has a reputation in tatters.

[scammed]

this is a high profile case and he is not joking,

all efforts will be made

Would be nice if that also counts for all earlier mysterious deaths on the island, so its originally good reputation can be restored.

Perhaps because the relatives in this case didn't see any suspicious, but only an accident...????

At a push....both panicking.....both hanging onto each other.....each dragging the other down?

These idioms are classic.

 

However, this one might be taken literally.

 

There are 873,297,028 stones near the house.   It would take 87-years to turn over each stone.   It would mean we would never get a result....

 

ah, ha!!!   light bulb, on.

No stone will be left unturned loosely translated,  no brown paper envelopes will be left unopened

The same relatives that stand to inherit Billions?

 

Maybe police work isn't for you.

It's a nice place to take a nice vacation, chef, but watch out for ghosts.

And found to be 2.2 meters by the first team and 3 meters by the second. It is not mentioned if there were any stones in the bottom of the pool that require turning.

Actually that is the most likely scenario.

[Megasin1]

I just don't get it, For the life of me I cannot understand why anyone would actually holiday there !!! Okay maybe those with a deathwish, but a billionaire in the hotel business who must have been fully aware of the islands reputation!! Maybe it was a suicide pact.

[thairookie]

The only stone that needs to be turned is the police department.

 

The only tool to turn and unturn a stone is the mighty baht.

Death Island claims some more victims. No justice on Death Island.

[DefaultName]

The son, who presumably is now very rich, seems happy to accept it as a tragic accident.

Why does that policeman have a bottle opener stuck in his neck?
