The Police want to make sure it really was self-defense and that this wasnt a murder 3 Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Common sense in almost any country except this one What? You're claiming that it's "common sense" that, in almost any country, an off duty police officer killing an intruder to his premises would be processed "with no questions asked"? Could you give an example of a country where that happens, please? 1 Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Swiss guy reenacting the attempted robbery here: He is in a lose lose situation. Even if he is found not guilty, he will either have the family after him for revenge or for compensation. Once the court case is over, it might be time for him to move to another far away location. Around 7:16 -7:23 in the video, it looks like the cops standing behind him in the demo was worried he was going to hurt the cop on the floor.

MrJ2U Posted October 4, 2021 Share Posted October 4, 2021 Exhausted after reading "Thai Justice". "Thai justice" is a myth. Now the nightmare begins for the swede trying to protect his life and property. Miserable people in the clueless justice department. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

grantbkk Posted October 4, 2021 Share Posted October 4, 2021 This is total <deleted>. The Swiss man should be given a medal and an apology from the governor for the dead guy’s behavior. Until something else comes up the Swiss man and his wife should be left alone. Farang should stay away from Thailand until this is cleared up.

Popular Post FalangJaiDee Posted October 4, 2021 Popular Post Share Posted October 4, 2021 3 hours ago, Richard Kuklinski said: Thai wife ran out of gambling / party money and hatched a plan with the deceased to rob her husband, the Swiss guy. Just shows how quick your life can change here. Now, lawyers, police, and the deceased's family will be the benefactors of the Swiss guy's retirement fund. 3 hours ago, RoyLee said: After all that commotion including a gun going off, he had to wake his wife up? She's one sound sleeper. I like to play this game called “we all already know exactly what happened” so this is what happened: the wife went out and arranged for the Thai intruder to rob her husband, either because she just wants a nice payout and/or get rid of him under the guise of a robbery gone wrong. the fact that she had to be woken up, and the fact that she knew the guy, is enough evidence. Of course they “had no relationship.” I have a Thai girl who tells me straight to my face unflinchingly that she doesn’t have a boyfriend, yet when I go on her tiktok, she’s taking a video and he’s slumped on the bed in the background. Things I’m not doing: -getting married to a Thai woman (nope! Don’t care) -buying anything that I can rent at all -?retiring outside a farang ghetto? 2 1 Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Low %age are normal relationships with professionals. I guess that contributes to the Stigma of Isarn women.... There are also many women from that Geographical region who are professionals... (flight attendants, Lawyer, Engineer, Geophysicist - Just a few of the careers of the some of the females from Isarn that I know of). There are also many many members on this forum who did not meet their significant other in a bar or though other means whereby the female would be considered an ‘occupational farang hunter’. That said - the odds may be in your favour that you are correct, generalisations exist for a reason. Nevertheless - just because someone has gone out with their friends and also married to a foreigner does not imply they are any less virtuous or an alcoholic. No, if we were to see tattoos, hear the lady speak, see a 25 year age gap etc then the generalisation is strengthened - but nothing in the story so far suggests any such thing. 1 Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

bojo Posted October 4, 2021 Share Posted October 4, 2021 Watching the vid and observing the body language of the quite credible Rudolf; I feel that he is more than likely telling the truth. The wife certainly appeared genuine too (again IMO). The account described certainly seems very plausible........................................................If the intruder isn't influencial and/or well connected and Rudolf has a few quid tucked away for the victims family, laywers, judge and the police etc, with a bit of luck, he could be back home in the not too distant future...................................then, situation depending, they might want to consider moving fairly quickly......................................................I hope it works out for them.............. 1 Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

spidermike007 Posted October 4, 2021 Share Posted October 4, 2021 If the facts are as stated, and the Thai guy broke into his home, and brandished a weapon, all bets are off at that point, and a man should have the right to defend himself however he sees fit. If is results in the intruder dying, so be it. There should be no charges, and never in a million years years would a Thai be charged for such a crime. If he is charged it will be even more evidence that the judicial system here is irrevocably broken, the police are terminally incompetent, and racism is alive and well. Tens of thousands of ex-pats have already left. Many more are leaving as we speak.

There’s no telling what goes through the mind of a desperate person. agree ...... and was the wife in cohoots on the scheme ........ if so she conspired to commit murder and/or crime. how does one sleep through a fight and gunshot noises. I don’t know... but if you speak with a couple of ‘prolific posters’ they’d argue their ex wives slept through sex ! Seriously though... for someone who is an early riser, when they go out, meet friends, have a few drinks, when they get home they collapse into a deep sleep. In our younger years (30’s) my wife and I would go out - she’d sleep for Thailand after that !!!... totally out for the count. It's not entirely unfeasible that they wife slept through the commotion.

islandguy Posted October 4, 2021 Share Posted October 4, 2021 Pretty crappy looking pistol. Very unlikely to be registered. Unless it was bought as a prop I can’t see any Swiss person I ever met buying it for personal use. On the other hand, it’s very plausible as something a Thai man without a lot of money would buy either for criminal use or just to have to wave in other people’s faces. 2 Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

recom273 Posted October 4, 2021 Share Posted October 4, 2021 (edited) I really hope this is just procedure. Watching the news video, I just wonder what goes through their heads, why put handcuffs on the guy? he seems to be behaving in a calm and reasonable manner. What are news cameras doing there anyway? this is quite a serious issue with repercussions for all, the questioning should be taking place in a police station with an interpreter.
