Phuket tourist murder: Suspect has admitted everything, police chief thanks private sector for 200K donation

[DaveC]

Most people do not get it. The family of the accused aka fall guy will be have a big gain in finances.

 

Totally dumb who anybody who falls for this disgusting scam.

[DaveC]

Can I say that this is absolute injustice on behalf of the accused. Where has been allowed to present his version of the events?

 

TOTAL THAI <deleted>. The rest of the would is watching at your absolutely lack if IQ. Thai Police need to be subjected to test. eg accepted 200,00 baht and more roses !!!!  How intelligent ||| 

 

This guy is a fall guy but all you do gooders don't understand that.

At first thought, it smells bad.

It still smells bad to me simply because giving rewards to police could easily create an incentive for them to "solve the case" even if it were not actually solved—meaning the money could serve as a financial incentive to railroad someone in order to close the case quickly and keep the "reward" money. And I mean for police officers everywhere, not just Thailand. If they did this in the US, for example, I can visualize all kinds of false convictions set up by corrupt cops happening. For the same reason, you have to be careful about giving rewards to witnesses for information leading to arrests.

It's sad that they feel a need to donate money to the cops to get more action.  I know TIT and you have to pay to get some play.  Mercenaries are what they get.

Well stated and done without being a righteous fool.  I wonder if the money was given to an officer or the medical staff and the department.  The latter is less likely to promote bad convictions.

If the Police acted with integrity, why did they take the 200,000 baht, Maybe to pay someone else ??

You really think they would give away 200k? Your conspiracies are not gaining any credibility.

East v West justice.

I used to go to a remote beach, put up a hammock, read a book and sleep, not now ????

200 k you cant be serious.  Don't they get paid to do their job.  Get someone to confess and there's 200K in it for you.  That would definately show reasonable doubt in a real court
