I saw a docu on tv about Russian mob, operating in Pattaya Thailand.

Investigation of police about them, but never red anything about ending the investigation in good way.   

Lot was depending on the Russian girls to come forward, but didnt, being really scared.

 

Also they let Joran vd Sloot come into Thailand, that is the guy who "allegedly" killed Natalee Holloway.

A Dutch crime fighter, just recently murdered, followed his ways and was able to set up  a sting for him in Thailand.

It seems he was doing in selling Thai girls. Thai justice would take a look at it.

Instead of an arrest or whatever, the guy got the hang of it and run, well thats weird.

 

Anyhow he ended up in Peru and killed a  woman, Stephany Tatiana Flores Ramírez. For that he was sentenced to jail, however USA wants him bad. But for now should do 28 years in Peru and after that offered a jail place in the USA.

Incredible he could marry a Peruaan woman and even was allowed having sex, which gave a child.

 

Yip the world is filled with bizar people and situations. Will not start with India and what happens there, or what 

happens in the USA or even "my" country.

It would be a good idea to determine if he is wanted in the States, probably hiding in BKK.

There will be no reenactment. He feared for his safety. Police officials cancelled it.

I don't think he would need a psychiatric assessment as he has admitted to doing what he did.

 

Get the 12 year old and the truck driver to ID him and the poor masseuse once she recovers, if they all pointed their finger at him, closed case.

 

Then he can spent the rest of his days in the Bangkok Hilton as far as I am concerned, however, he will be better off if some one in there takes him out quicker with a blade, but I want him to suffer for his crimes.

Agree with your sentiment regarding punishment.  But not sure it's that cut and dry. 

If the legal system in Thailand's higher courts are similar to the West, I believe it is usual for a psychiatric evaluation to be made that forms part of a pre-sentence hearing.  An admission does not necessarily mean full guilt if there were mitigating circumstances such as a

psychotic episode. 

 

The defence would argue for a reduced sentence in that case or perhaps alternatively a placement into a high security psychiatric institution (do they even exist here for criminally insane?)  

 

If it was a drug induced psychotic episode then the argument gets more complicated as one needs to look at whether the offender was aware of how that drug/s could impact his state of mind and if it was sufficient to argue temporary criminal insanity.

Thx for your view.

 

I drink socially, e.g. 3 small beers twice a week, one at night with a meal.

 

I don't do drugs unless they are prescribed by a Dr, Specialist for a chronic condition or an illness requiring antibiotics.

 

The reason I don't indulge too much with alcohol is because I know if you drink too much you may not recall the events as to how you ended up where you ended up, besides the hangover. 

 

As for illegal drugs, well I am happy with who I am and where I am in my life, suffice to say, if one wants to escape his/her reality for the moment and play with drugs, then he/she must face the consequences, can't blame it on the drugs, because we all know with illegal drugs or too much alcohol what can happen.

 

So, like I said, hope he spends the rest of his years in the Bangkok Hilton, he chose to take the drugs, the masseuse chose to go to work to provide a service for a fee, she shouldn't end up where she has ended up because of some dip stick loser who chose to take illegal drugs, no sympathy for him at all, he deserves the full blow of the law with no excuses accepted as we all are responsible for our choices and actions, i.e. don't take illegal drugs and don't end up doing what you did, in other words, can't blame it on the drugs, they didn't walk into your mouth, you chose to drop them for the buzz, so buzz on in the Bangkok Hilton till you rot.

He has reportedly blamed it all on his being high on drugs at the time so of course it is not his fault at all - the world is to blame for making him high.  ????

If drugs are involved, then that should render the punishment much higher.

What is a police force search box? Is that an official website in your home country?

 

They would insist on some homepage of a police website for the home country and require you type your name into the searchbox. They'd print off the (inevitably) blank page.

 

Please don't look for any rational reason for choosing the website, there isn't one.

Intoxication is not a valid defence in most legal systems, the effects of intoxication (psychosis) would come under the definition. And as I always say, don't demonize the substance, far worse and more frequent offences occur under the influence of legal and much lauded alcohol,

If he was too high to think , how come he could speed away on a motorbike?   Looks guilty to me. 

Unfortunately he can buy his way out of this in court. But it will not be cheap!
