webfact Posted August 9, 2021 Share Posted August 9, 2021 Photo: PR Phuket By Eakkapop Thongtub PHUKET: Teerawat Thothip, the 27-year-old Phuket resident charged with the killing of Swiss tourist Nicole Sauvain-Weiskopf, yesterday (Aug 8 ) re-enacted his actions in choking the 57-year-old tourist and covering her body with a tarpaulin at Ao Yon Waterfall, on Phuket’s east coast. Teerawat was taken to stage the re-enactment after the press conference where he confessed that he choked Ms Sauvain-Weiskopf with a headlock, but denied intention to kill her and denied any attempt to rape her. Ms Sauvain-Weiskopf’s body was found last Thursday lying face down in a stream near the Ao Yon Waterfall. Her body had been covered with a tarpaulin weighed down with rocks. She was naked from the waist down and her denim shorts were found discarded in long grass nearby.

Popular Post grandpa Posted August 9, 2021 Popular Post Share Posted August 9, 2021 "Swiss tourist killer re-enacts crime" Surely that should read "ALLEGED " as he has yet to be tried, even though he has given some sort of confession! Oh I forgot, this is Thailand where you are guilty unless you can prove your innocence, unless you have influence or money, but preferably both. 4 3 Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

When you think, just think and try not to assume what you do not know. The man has confessed and has already started making his excuses. Your conspiracy theories have no relevance in this particular case. 3 Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Oh I forgot, this is Thailand where you are guilty unless you can prove your innocence, unless you have influence or money, but preferably both. True he is an alleged killer. A sensational tabloid with a headline typed out by a news reporter does not automatically translate to guilt by the judiciary. Moreso down to improper vetting and different ethical standards by news editors. Rinse and repeat around the world. Irresponsible journalism gets much worse elsewhere. 1 2 Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Popular Post Aussieroaming Posted August 9, 2021 Popular Post Share Posted August 9, 2021 Re-enacts crime after reading the script written for him? I do hope they have the right man and not the wrong man in the right place. A sad reflection on the RTP that the public don't trust them to do the due dilligence required to ascertain that they have the right person. Hopefully Swiss investigators will get some oversight into the case findings. 3 1 Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Yes, and did he have a lawyer present during the hours long interrogation, when the supposed confession was being dragged out of him? Or is that just woke? 1 Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Sydebolle Posted August 9, 2021 Share Posted August 9, 2021 Is it only me or do I see a further PR disaster in the making? The accused robbed her, the mistreating of the lady resulting in her death was in that case an issue of a second criminal? This can clearly get out of hands; next will be the tuktuk and the jet ski scams again - absolutely nothing learnt except that the word "sandbox* got an additional meaning! 1 Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

You are guilty until proven innocent . that's why they put one on Remand in Jail until the court date. When you go to court one Has to prove that one is innocent . as for the reenactment Only the Real killer can do that and that would be pretty stupid as that is an admission to Guilt . Once one does that one is Finished/done/Jail. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
tomazbodner Posted August 9, 2021 Share Posted August 9, 2021 The story doesn't explain how she ended up with her lower clothes removed. Did he rape her (before or after killing her) or was there someone else to do that, with him or later? This can't be all there is to the story. Something doesn't sound right here. 1 1 Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

andersonat Posted August 9, 2021 Share Posted August 9, 2021 I really do wonder what the incentives/inducements are (for the Accused) for taking part in The Re-enactment. -- Just *what* is in it for the Accused ? --- And another Q ... at what point during the interview, etc is the Accused given an opportunity to talk to/consult with a Defence-Lawyer (provided by the State) ?

Damrongsak Posted August 10, 2021 Share Posted August 10, 2021 Why do the cops/authorities/press have to announce things until they have investigated thoroughly? Why do 15 cops/investigators have to stomp all over the evidence at the site? Why does the sun shine when it's not raining? Stay tuned for another episode of the Thailight Zone.
