Popular Post Kinnock Posted August 7, 2021 Popular Post Share Posted August 7, 2021 24 minutes ago, Mac Mickmanus said: CCTV evidence that he was at the location at the time and he also had fresh cuts and scratches on his body . Although not evidence , its highly suspicious and he needs to be investigated Investigated ...... certainly ...... along with anyone else who may be a suspect, which could include any of the 3000 tourists on the island, plus the local Thai people. Calling in to the nearest migrant camp and arresting a worker with scratches on his face should just be part of an ongoing investigation. For the police to say the investigation is over at this stage is very odd. 4 Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
anchadian Posted August 7, 2021 Share Posted August 7, 2021 Matichon reporting that the suspect in the killing of the Swiss tourist is in fact a 27 year old Thai man who lived nearby.

Thailand for a number of reasons , some of which cannot even be mentioned , has been getting bad press for some time over here. This horrible crime simply reinforces that negativety. The murder was mentioned very briefly about 2 hours ago on cable station CNA - Singapore news. Edited August 7, 2021 by JimmyJ Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Its now been suggested that the man is Thai and not Burmese . Will you change your mind now about his guilt ? Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

If the suspect has scratches, then perhaps they can be matched to DNA from the fingernails of the poor victim ..... but that takes time.

Horrible news. That's a major blow to "Safe and Trusted Thailand", to have a murdered tourist on their hands after merely a month and among a group of just about 15,000 tourists in total. If all the Burmese migrant workers are "bubbled and sealed", they might actually have to arrest a Thai for this crime this time around. Hopefully they'll make a sincere effort to find the real perpetrator(s)..
