Picture: Siam Rath

 

The elder brother of a woman who it was believed had committed suicide went to a social action group to claim that a Canadian bar owner in Phuket actually murdered her.

 

He then claimed that the scene was manipulated to look like suicide.

 

Now it looks like the poster boy cop of the RTP known as Big Joke is set to get involved.

 

Wanwisa Rewklang, 31, was found dead apparently hanged by a curtain at a nail shop in Patong on the southern holiday island on February 8th.

 

Kriangsak Rewklang went to the founder of Sai Mai Tong Rort Ekkaphop Leuangprasert regarding his suspicions about a Canadian man named as "Landy" (name transliterated from Thai and possibly incorrect).

 

He said that his sister met Landy 4-5 months ago at the bar he owns and they got engaged.

 

She got a job at the bar.

 

Then they opened a nail shop together.

 

But on February 5th he said he got a call from his sister to say that she had been assaulted and imprisoned against her will, reported Siam Rath.

 

By 10pm she had managed to escape and he advised her to file a report of the crime with the police but only a daily report was made.

 

She also said that on February 3rd Landy had drugged her and videoed her. When she came round she had claimed that Landy had threatened her with putting the video online abroad, though she didn't know what had happened to her.

 

Friends contacted the brother to say they had found her at the nail shop hanging from a curtain and had cut her down and given CPR.

 

Police were slow to respond.

 

She was taken for autopsy at Vachira Hospital.

 

The relatives don't believe it was suicide. His sister has two children and a sick father to care for and wouldn't have abandoned them.

 

There were also discrepancies about the time of death. A second autopsy had been ordered at the Police Hospital to try and get to the truth.

 

Kriangsak also claimed that the Canadian had offered the family half a million baht to settle the case.

 

Ekkaphop said at a news conference yesterday that he planned to approach the deputy commander of the Royal Thai Police Pol Lt-Gen Surachate Hakpan to get justice in the case.

 

This is the policeman universally known as Big Joke who has been involved in many high profile cases, notes ASEAN NOW.

some people just shouldn't be in relationships - if this was suicide it sounds like his actions/apparent abuse  played a big part in it, I hope the truth is found

This will go nowhere.  It is not Landy's first rodeo.

Good chance, my name also start with R and always said as L.

Some people just don't know when to walk away and find sanctuary somewhere safe.

I wonder how this would have played out if the victim and her family had been Chinese?

Can someone give me information on how to contact Sai Mai Thonglor Foundation as a phone number is never given in reports I read. 
Thank you

Before responding to the above comment, please take a moment to consider if it is a joke, an attempt at sarcasm or just plain satire.......

Or just plain dumb.

Or could it be Lennie, as in Steinbeck's classic ?

 

Phuket - one of the top 5 Thai murder islands with hardly an honest person anywhere.

This is no joke. The person who flamed Loger Labbit is now facing defamation charges.

I suspect it will not be difficult to ID just who Landy or Randy as he apparently owns a bar.

Looks like a big news day for Canadians. 

Just another day for the RTP.

If that is true I'd arrest him now for murder

thought you had me blocked my man, carry on. Hit that report button hard. But, before you do, consider if it is a joke, an attempt at sarcasm or just plain satire.

To many Canadians here now. I thought I was the only one 

It sounds like to me Randy better be watching his back, you never know when some good old fashion Thai street justice might happen..

I expect to read that Landy or Randy will have conveniently fled Thailand by the next press release.

Why? Maybe he wants to help provide for his late wifes children.
