You're acting as though it isn't definitive and something else is.  The BP article does, categorically, state that she had just returned with him, does Thai Rath categorically state that she wasn't with him?  Didn't think so.

Seems that the "definitive" source isn't quite so sure now.

 

On 11th of October they wrote that she and her husband arrived home after returning from Germany but in an article today they have written that she told police her husband arrived home after returning from Germany on Sunday night.

The anti-Thai anti-Thailand criticism is particularly laughable. In order for this criticism to work, you have to accept that a foreigner may have committed the murder. Do you really think a foreigner in the remote district of Prakhon Chai far outside of Buriram proper may have been behind the murder? LOL.

Accept what now? When a foreigner repeatedly denigrates Thailand, its people, its culture and everything else Thai like the RTP, usually with the derisory 'Thainess' label, that's anti-Thai. It isn't unique to alleged murders.

 

LOL

As far as misogyny, when a spouse is murdered the surviving spouse is usually a suspect until they can be ruled out. If suspecting the wife is misogyny, then are those who suspect the husband of murdering the wife to be labeled man-haters?

You mean when a spouse is allegedly murdered don't you? Not sure where you pulled that man-hater 'argument' from but it's so patently ill-formed, I guess you aren't in the same league as Clouseau and Poirot after all. You honestly haven't a Watson's do you?

You and Liverpool Lou are going off the rails in the virtue signalling department. I'm sure the Thai police are treating the "cheating spouse/love triangle" as a primary preliminary theory about why the murder occurred.

Virtue signalling? @Liverpool Lou and I (and probably a few others) are simply having a jolly good wheeze at your armchair theatrics. They're almost as bad as your armchair sleuthing.

 

PS: It's an alleged murder now. Try and keep up.

Assuming when the wife said that he returned from Germany with "his family", she meant not her, then it would be a good idea to see who has been sniffing around the wife while the victim was away.  Perhaps she had an affair, perhaps someone was simply hoping that the husband might not return, or that while the husband was away he might get closer to the wife.  Then the presumably well off husband returns and boom!

  Then the presumably well off husband returns and boom!.....Well Off ?? He had 280 Baht MORE Than Me in his Wallet....So Yeah I Guess he Was " Well Off ".....

I think "every country"  is correct

That's a persuasive argument. You sound like your northern neighbour-but-one. Assuming you live south of China?

Sounds like only the husband was in Germany, with the wife still here. Red-flag #1.

 

Feeble attempt to burn the body and gasoline and wax at scene suggests how to dispose of the body was only considered after the murder, further suggesting a crime of passion. or somebody either extremely criminally unsophisticated, inebriated at the time of the crime, or very young. As this behavior points to the possibility that the assailant was younger, and both the victim and wife were both in early 20's, this too points to possible love triangle.

 

My first questions would be: why did he go to the grocery store and was he running an errand for someone, perhaps his wife?

 

My guess is either the wife was fooling around while hubby was out of the country and together they conspired to kill the hubby. Or, unbeknownst to the wife, lover boy boyfriend who was uninvited to the party, watched from the shadows, and impulsively decided to eliminate his rival when the opportunity arose, stalking him to the grocery store when he saw him leave the party. Hubby may have recognized the assailant, but being clueless that he was having an affair with his wife, willingly accompanied him into the park where he was brained with blunt object. After the murder, and possibly high at the time, he maybe frantically improvised and siphoned some gasoline out of his motorcycle, or quickly returned home to get some gas, thinking this would destroy the evidence, but quickly realizing this was futile, fled the scene.

 

Question for the "Go for it, Sherlock" crowd:

Do you realize that the above is merely formulating an initial theory of the case, which is exactly what police and many members of the news media and public do all over the world? It's an initial assessment of the facts of the case in an effort to try and figure out what may have happened.

 

Speculation can be defined as the pursuit of truth through conjecture or thinking. Is this thought process so objectionable to some forum member that they feel compelled to clog up every crime thread with asinine, unoriginal, and repetitive comments about ASEANNOW armchair detectives? Are you so lacking in intellectual curiosity that your only reaction to those wanting to share their speculative thoughts on the matter is to try and ridicule and disrupt the discourse? Since you're so convinced that this process adds no value, do you ever stop to consider the value - or the lack thereof - YOU add to a thread?

Well stated. Quite plausible. Very rational.
