webfact Posted February 13, 2023 Share Posted February 13, 2023 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.

smedly Posted February 13, 2023 Share Posted February 13, 2023 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 1 Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
