[webfact]

Scenes from near the Wat Ton Chueak Salaya in the Bang Nae Nang area of Nonthaburi as the Metropolitan Police Bureau on Saturday, April 1st removed the body from the scene for a preliminary autopsy and on Sunday, April 2nd when a command centre for the investigation was set up. Three suspects have been identified who fled Thailand on March 30th after brutally torturing and murdering 22-year-old music student Jin Can who was enrolled at Bangkok Thonburi University and only arrived in the kingdom on March 8th last, just 20 days before she was so callously murdered.

The disturbing case has parallels with another kidnap of a Chinese student on March 16th where a ฿3.2 million ransom was paid and police later arrested the gang.

 

The horrific incident also comes after a recent hysterical and ignorant campaign of misinformation emerged online in China warning travellers not to visit Thailand claiming they face the danger of being kidnapped for ransom which prompted Thailand’s Embassy in Beijing to issue a statement and led Thai officials to seek help from Chinese counterparts in dealing with the viral messages.

The Thai Metropolitan Police Bureau, on Sunday, confirmed that three known Chinese criminals had fled the country on Thursday back to Chengdu in the People’s Republic having kidnapped and sadistically tortured to death a 22-year-old Chinese student, a music major and the daughter of a teacher in China.

 

The young woman was only in the country just 20 days when subjected to a horrific fate at the hands of evil fellow nationals. This is the second publicised case in a matter of weeks where a Chinese student has been kidnapped by Chinese criminal elements in Thailand posing as tourists and comes amid a viral online campaign of disinformation in China warning travellers to the country to be wary because of the threat of kidnapping.

Thai police believe suspects in murder of Chinese student have fled to China

 

 

Thai police believe that at least three men of Chinese nationality were involved in the kidnap and murder of a Chinese student in Nonthaburi province and that they left Thailand for Chengdu in China’s Sichuan province on March 30th.

 

Pol Maj-Gen Noppasilp Poonsawat, deputy commissioner of the Metropolitan Police Bureau, said Sunday that 22-year-old Jin Can, a Chinese music student at Bangkok Thonburi University, is believed to have been kidnapped from the university on March 28th. At about 1.30am on March 29th, a CCTV system captured an image of a red Mazda vehicle in Bang Yai. On April 1st, the body of the student was left in a plantation in Village 6 of Bang Yai district, where it was subsequently found by a villager.

 

The senior police officer further said the CCTV system also shows three men of Chinese appearance entering a convenience store near a housing estate in Bang Yai, adding that witnesses confirm that the men had visited the store on several occasions.

 

Police think that the three Chinese men might have been living in the housing estate and have discovered that they had rented a house in the estate, which they vacated on March 29th at about 3pm.

It is mainland Chinese gangs stationed in Thailand who prey on the children of influential/well-off people from China. It starts with a ransom demand and if their demands are not met, they kill the kidnappee.

Somehow I doubt it. There'll be a lot of noise for a while, announcments will be made and then, as with everything else, it will simply become a forgotten cause.

[bbbbooboo]

Hmmm….. why do we need to read this horrible sort of news? How does it edify our daily experience of life i wonder?

[NemoH]

It’s death penalty in China for what the kidnappers did.. so sad for the young girl.. but from the facts, she was definitely targetted and the kidnappers specifically flew into n left Thailand just for her… 

must be more to it .. start with her family in China ..

Must've been either mistaken identity as her parents are teachers (=poor), unless they own a private English language school; or, they may have kidnapped her for prostitution trafficking.

Most worry some in this case is that the police thinks....Besides that the Chinese fled the country already I am wondering how can a music teacher get 2,5 million for ransom?? Normally teachers, don't earn so much, probably more in this story than published
