I dont know that,

If they have publicity shots of these people, likelihood is if they are not high up the food chain they will be coming to an early end anyway

also if they indeed were hit men they would not likely go together after an unarmed and not protected by security body guards single person.

The second hit man can be in as a back up, but he doesn't have to go into action until needed.

One professional is well enough to finish job, even using 2 guns shot at the same time. Or a larger gun, to pierce bulletproof vest.

So possibly they were not hired gunman but just his friends, associates. It would make easier to track them.

Still, finding them might be problematic, if stolen passports, face biometrics and fingertips were changed. It's not cheap, but can be done

 

 

There are many gangs in B.C.  the history of this guy that was killed was that he had committed or been involved in one gang and was well known.  The hit was probably in retaliation to things he did.  The fact that he came here and not back to India tells me that was low profiling.

 

Gang hits are usually carried out by at least 2 people.  The hit itself is to do 2 things. 

1. kill the guy obviously

2. send a message to others

 

That is why they are blatant and open.  Professionals would have done it in a quieter and not as obtrusive manner.

 

As to the passports and such yeah they may be fake but it really doesn't matter.  These guys are going to be very protected in Canada if they are still there. 

 

Chances are they went back got paid if there was a payment and left the country.  If not then they will be hiding in the Indian community.

 

The one thing that will be interesting is how the police prove that they did it.  Unless a Thai comes out and says that they are the ones that they sold the guns to or the police have video of them shooting him or throwing the guns in the water they really have no case.

I used to know a woman who worked in the security at Manchester airport, any passenger who turns up for a long haul flight with no luggage raises a Red flag

In the meantime, KLM and Finnair are only two of many airlines that are currently offering the lowest coach air fares to those with carry-on baggage only, ie, no checked baggage.

"Nobody takes Thailand seriously these days. They have opted out of being relevant." 

 

Well the Covid farce has sealed their fate with a vengeance - the slapdash perception that Covid is just 'flu; the 6 month wait for it all to go away before eventually being forced to vaccinate their people; the flounder to make a fast buck with the initial Sinovac stocks; the reluctance to spend money on test ATK kits; no mass testing; ridiculously- expensive private Covid tests; blatantly unrealistic infection statistics; price-gouged tourist trapping with extortionate Thai-Govt-forced insurance-and-ASQ-packages; the blatant kick-backs with private hospitals charging extortionate fees; the continual arrogant statements that "everything's under control"; the officious and self-important complexity of the immigration regulations; the ongoing dithering and mind-changing and backtracking with entry rules and quarantine regulations that are changed weekly with no regard for the disruption and money this is causing to incoming 'tourists, and the obvious lack of understanding that incoming westerners can't just pack and travel at the drop of a hat . . . 

 

 . . . not to mention the farcical nature of a corrupt police force with virtually no training that doesn't actually police anything and doesn't understand what 'policing' means . . . 

Thailand has always managed to do all these sorts of things quietly, in the past, without attracting too much attention, and has subsequently developed a distorted sense of its own importance and worth.

 

But standing up and broadcasting its dithering incompetence on the world stage via social media and the international Press has now guaranteed that nobody, absolutely nobody, takes Thailand seriously any more.

In your rush to vent your spleen, you forgot the ridiculously easy and free covid extensions.

 

It may come as a shock to some but I reckon there's a vast amount of people in the world who don't even know Thailand exists.

 

Some members seriously need to get over themselves and stop feeling the shame and embarrassment that they think the Thai people carry and also stop projecting this international laughter and ridicule of Thailand that doesn't exist.

So you believe that's more than just a marketing ploy ? Attention grabbing low fares that actually aren't so competitive once all the "add-ons" are totalled.

Different when it is a foreigner, they will do everything they can to have him brought back.

 

One of their own, no effort at all; see Thaksin, Yingluck, Raluek Leekpai, Boss Red Bull and a host of other high profile cases. 

Thaksin, Yingluck, et al are not wanted murderers. What many do not realise about Interpol is that they have no police powers. They are basically a reporting agency. It is up to the "host" nation to apprehend and extradite "red notice" individuals, regardless of the claptrap seen in movies. Yingluk and Thaksin, for example, are arguably political "wanteds". Red Bull "Boss" is a fugitive with resources and unknown location.

These  alleged assassins, if it is correct that their names and location are known, are more likely to fit the bill of foreign arrest and extradition, again assuming they come to the attention of RCMP.

I was simply countering another member's outdated assertion that a passenger without checked baggage is an automatic red flag.

 

Have you looked at the air fares being offered? I used the Finnair no checked baggage option late last year. It was cheaper than anything else, even KLM's no checked baggage offering. They all play the add-on game but it's still their cheapest option by almost a couple of hundred bucks.

 

You don't think these airlines are simply conspiring to enable hitmen to travel quickly from job to job?

Maybe final destination is south of Canada as well.  If the RTP know who these people

are and their nationalities, well let us know as well.
