[southbot]

They missed eh?

Another mindless killing. Shame the world is this way, always has been, always will be. Mindless.

[John 1]

Which wife of Norbert he has many, and did she die.

[Boater]

Is there any True confirmation of this?

Churchill, did someone tell you or did you drive by there ofice and see?

as this would be the 2nd related property agent shooting in the last 2 years?

[sbk]

Agreed, unless you have actually spoken with the parties involved or have heard it from more than one source, it is still rumor and I would appreciate it if you could make that clear in both your title and opening post.

Sorry Sir ! Will try to do better next time ! Are you saying that if I had heard it from 2 souces it wouldn't be a rumor and that then it can be posted as fact !

and Yes I was driving past and saw amongst other things police taking prints etc . Spoke to several Thais who confirmed what had happened - I believe she died

[ClaudeFeller]

Sorry, I didn't get it.

Who shot who? Who died?

[sbk]

Well why not say that in the first place churchill? Whats the point of a post like your original one that sounds more like rumor and conjecture than something you actually witnessed?

Who is Norbert? The "thai wife"? Is there another, foreigner wife? What is "landand"? A hotel?

Why should anyone care about this? Crimes are committed every day, everywhere.

You know, if you feel that something is important enough to post for others to read -- others who don't have any inside information -- you might take five minutes and actually type in the proper details.

I thought this was a forum for general posts . and as such a disscussion between members with a topic expanding as more infomation is know . I did not want to post too much information until facts were known . I think when somebody is shot and police are involved one has to be careful as to what is said . ?

Mark - You are obviously impervious to crimes like this - living in Lamai were you witness these things every day - but normal folks do not ! Are all your posts so important to read ! This was a life lost - maybe one of many on Samui - but a life .

I would think the owner?! Read the rules!

Well I post on a forum like this using my common sense and have not read the RULES . But it is not correct to remove a post just because one of the moderators recieves negative post .

I am a mod and I suggest you read the rules, specifically the discussion of moderation issues in your case. If you have issues with it you can take it up with the local moderator or admin. Further discussion of moderation issues/decisions will result in another moderation action - a holiday.

[mark lamai]

very odd reactions among folks here.

after all...

news is news and worth knowing.

rumour, if stated as such, is worth reporting for confirmation.

hearsay, is reported as such, is also worth confirming.

not difficult really.

Exactly my point. If someone is posting hearsay please make that clear.

My condolences to the husband. He must be devastated.

Methinks you are too hidebound by P.C.

The original post broke news; it was true;

Now it would be more interesting to get at the facts surrounding this shooting and

it's connections to ,or otherwise, the shooting of Gary 2 years ago.

Why was she shot?

And why are two shootings so closely connected to the CLH company mentioned above?

[Mark Wolfe]

This does point out how easy it is to have a "hit" arranged.

Clearly this was an assassination. The shooter walked in, called the woman's name and killed her after she responded.

Apparently he didn't know the woman on sight or he would not have had to have her identify herself.

She or her husband or both must have angered someone very much.

I guess the moral of the story is that if an unidentified Thai man comes up to you or your coworkers and asks for someone by name, you better err on the side of caution and say that he/she is in Issan visiting relatives and you don't know when they will be back.

[sbk]

Well, my intentions are not the point of the thread. I was merely attempting, as a moderator, to put some clarity in what could be a volatile thread.

Regardless, it has now been confirmed and it is very sad news.

[highdiver]

so so terrible. what a waste of life.

so so sad..

[Jet Gorgon]

didnt know norbet was still married

Didn't know Norbert was still alive.

[SamuiJens]

Didn't know Norbert.

Did he die, Jet?

[chinthee]

Is that the same Norbert who had the place (Baan Norbert) in Patong on Kaliim beach?

[Jet Gorgon]

Didn't know Norbert.

Did he die, Jet?

I thought he discreetly removed himself from the island a few years back. Other members will know better than I. Should have said "around" rather than "alive".
