Death of Thai/Indian billionaires on Koh Tao: Police promise no stone will be left unturned to get to the truth

[barney42bb]

As long as this Evil Sinister collusion of certain parties exists on Koh Tao... The Outrages will continue.

Billionaires, Backpackers, British young couples in love...... Nobody is safe there.

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

555. I thought it was a key to wind him up.

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

 

Yeah, it's a place I've avoided for a long time now, a shame because of all the great diving there.    As as local, I'm fine with the local mafia doing what they do (it's like the Yakuza in Japan, their activities don't overlap much with the lives of normal folks), but I'm not okay when local organised crime seems to have a taste for random blood and rape.

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.

Maybe they knew better than to be influenced by baseless rumours.

Actually that is the most likely scenario.

Why go into a pool if you can't swim?

Maybe police work isn't for you.

Will they be turning over stones that were not turned over in previous investigations.

let give them some credit…

 

after few days of investigation it’s been established that they are thai-Indian and not Thai-Indonesian as originally stated…

I do and I can't swim. But I always have a good swimmer in attendance.

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.

I had no idea you were the resident expert on police investigations in ALL of Thailand!

A) Why is his net worth relevant? A death of a human is a death of a human.

B) They haven't got got clue. The blind leading the blind. 

C) Why was this fella travelling? Does Covid not affect the rich?

Good idea (as long as they're not the primary beneficiary to your vast fortune).

Sad. You can have mountains of money but it will all come to an end. Just a matter of time.

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

Maybe they're all wearing the same blinkers?

[Freigeist365]

Looks like specialising in the installation of incorruptible and 365/24/7 functioning CCTVs would be a profitable business on that godforsaken rock... On the other hand... I fear there's a good chance you might be found bludgeoned to death (preferably with a garden hoe) in your little CCTV service shop, since some local mafia Godfathers and their offspring might feel their "privacy" being compromised...

[Gecko123]

Plenty of cause for suspicion, but if there was any foul play, that's going to show up in autopsy and toxicology reports. If the son and his girlfriend had anything to do with it, they should be shaking in their boots; beer bottles at poolside table have been retrieved, CCTV cameras in vicinity of hotel will be able to confirm son's "went for a walk" alibi, any family dysfunction will soon come to light. Let the police finish doing their job before passing judgment.

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

I've been in Thailand for many years and I can't recall when the island had a good reputation. Can someone help us out here?

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.

Yep - in the photo there is a sign on the floor saying 2.2m  .... I'm guessing that's a clue ????

[Dont confuse me]

2 Adults in a pool the worst case scenario is that one can't swim panicks grabs the other person! I simply cannot accept that the swimmer of the 2 would simply allow him/herself to reach the bottom of the pool bend their knees and launch the other person up and forwards so that they could grab the side then join them! 

Gotta be a very bad piece of luck to drown each other nothing short of video evidence will sway me from believing there's foul play afoot.

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.

...but they sowed the seed of doubt in the first place. Why do they do this every time. Hastily make ann9uncements that clearly can't be based on any evidence and then get enmeshed in a series of amateur Sherlock conspiracy theories and in the end any conclusion or prosecution is so flawed as to be worthless.

Dont they mean 'no Burmese will be left unturned'......... ????????????????

[keystonecoppers2]

 

 

                                   First thing to establish, is if they knew how to swim,

                                   and that will be easy to establish, hearing friends &

                                   relatives and maybe also staff at their hotel in Phuket.

                                   If they where good swimmers, any drowning in the pool,

                                   both of them at the same time, is of course not plausible!

                                  The toxicology report will show if there where any substance

                                  in their bodies at the time of death, that could have made 

                                  them not to behave as normally they would in the water.

 

                                  Another stone to turn, is if there where any problems with their

                                  business in Phuket, and I do not mean the Covid.

                                  Since they where billionaires, I do not think they had to much

                                  issues about bringing "food on the table".

 

                                  Many more questions need to be answered, but this is the

                                  questions that should be investigated pronto!

 

                                        RIP!

And why does he have gold wings (and a parachute insignia) on his shirt??

Is he a qualified pilot, or just been in an aeroplane once?

I earned mine the long and expensive way!
