Insensitive disgusting remark..................

Insensitive for the paper panty on face brigade? I agree.

 

I'm sorry for the lady. Murders happen everyday everywhere. Blaming Thailand for this is utterly stupid. Thailand is number 78 in murder rate index. USA is 55. Enough said.

It can only be a Burmese, a Thai is incapable of such a thing ....

Incapable of being convicted around tourist areas but outside them they are fair game.

I wonder does Thailand have a large CSI lab to track down the killer or killers? If not it may be better to have than two submarine's.

If I remember correctly,  the top DNA expert got sidelined during the Kho Tao investigation. So there is expertise around but could be used selectively. It seems crime scenes don't get secured so evidence is often compromised.

Thats not a good start, the percentage of real tourists that have arrived in Phuket from the 1st July on the Sandbox scheme is small, to have one of them murdered is not a good sign, particularly when its a lone female who had also been raped first.

 

Terrible news for the family and lets hope her ordeal and fate will lead to swift action by the police.

I'm sure the police will round up a couple illiterate Burmese labourers and pin it on them. I mean it worked in Ko Tao ????

With the Island in lockdown it shouldn't take long to track her movements and and find the murderer.  

Phuket isn't in lockdown.

So where do you think the "sample" would have ended up? Hence why I brought it up. 

Aah, I see what you are referring to now.  Yes, very useful for framing someone.  Apologies for not getting your drift on first read.

Back in the 1980’s I showed a picture of a young Aussie girl walking through a rain Forrest in Aust to my Thai gf she said “You can do this in Australia, if you do this in Phuket you can die”, (I did explain about someone taking the photo), but it was a a warning that I passed on to others over the years.
 

Except this was a 60 years old woman. She was probably dating some lowlife young guy. She was not first time in Phuket. I don't think she was having a walk in the park and was randomly murdered.

Yes it isn't good , but she isn't the 1st and unfortunate not gonna be last also . The islands are not the safest of places around , Koh Tao anyone....

Are you in Phuket right now? I am and I feel very safe. As for "islands" not being safe, name me any island, especially one with heavy tourism, and I'm confident a Google search will bring up a many recent  crimes, including murder. This case is a tragedy, but let's not paint the whole island black because of the deeds of a few.

Didn't say I did it.

Are you denying that the attacker was human?

Humans murder. It's just a fact. Started with Cain and Able (if you believe in such things) and continues to this day?

 

What kind of monster did this? Look in the mirror; they'll look just like you.

What would be the difference between a "real tourist" and a "fake tourist" in terms of what the sandbox is trying to aim for..??

I would just like to suggest that there is an outside possibility that a friend or family member of the deceased may come across this forum and read the thread, so just my opinion to be respectful.

Thai gf she said “You can do this in Australia, if you do this in Phuket you can die”

but why is that?

i noticed similar cases in south america. woman raped and murdered when they travel

alone in nature. is it because of poverty? machoism?

my theory is that in those woods there are homeless / mentally ill

people living there, and tourists do now know about them.

I wasn't suggesting that Humans don't commit murder or that this person wasnt a human , just pointing out that humans  dont murder all the time .

Yes, the resort ("The Moorings", it's a collection of bungalows) is very close.   Probably no more than 800 metres or so as the crow flies.

Looking at the area I would say someone has spotted her as she turned off the main road or as she walked along the road through the wooded area . They then waited until in very secluded area before attacking her . 
I would guess someone who knows the area very well and possibly lives in the area near centre of photo .

And forty years later , she has been proven to be right .

Are you still friends with her ?

Plenty other places to visit. Why would anyone go somewhere with this sort of thing going on. Google tourist murders in Thailand and the murders in Koh Tao are top of the list of 528,000 results. The following are not happy reading either.

Where does "this sort of thing" not happen?

Why does that matter? Seems she was killed and raped where the body was found.

Because i geuss there are no cameras at the waterfalls but maybe by tracing her steps there are cameras on the way and they can see if she has been followed by someone or with someone ??? Or you think they catch killers only by evidence at the scene of the crime ???

It may have escaped your attention but there are a few tourists from countries other than Switzerland that may have been planning a holiday in the dirtbox.

And woman are not being murdered in people's home country? It happens all over the world. I highly doubt people put their plans on hold because of a murder in Thailand. Solo woman in Phuket will be more careful, but cancelling a holiday. Nah.

How long has she been dead for? Knowing her location and whereabouts is one thing, but you want to know who did it and what there movements were
