Chinese abductors.

Thai police believe that the Chinese student, who was kidnapped and murdered in Nonthaburi province last week, knew one of her three abductors.

 

According to investigators, one of the suspects had been courting the student, 22-year-old Jin Can, via social media while she studied music at Bangkok Thonburi University, after they found out that her father is a wealthy teacher in China.

 

After the first two years of studying online, she flew to Thailand for her third-year of study on March 8th. When the suspects discovered that she had arrived in Bangkok, they flew from Beijing to Bangkok in March, possibly as part of a plot to kidnap her for a ransom.

 

On March 28th, the suspect who had been courting Jin Can asked her to meet him at Central Westgate shopping mall in Bangkok’s Bang Yai area. According to police, Jin Can took a taxi from her university to the mall, where she alighted and crossed the road to where one of the suspects were waiting in a rented red Mazda.

Terrible…

So, the Chinese culprit knew/believed that it is easier to carry out a misdeed in LOS rather than the land of CCP... Thailand's reputation for lax laws and law enforcement are international now it seems.

What exactly was "lax" about the RTP's investigation in this case or the enforcement of the laws?

This case will get solved, publicly or privately. A very influential person is in charge of the university the woman attended. I don't mean the university president, btw. But it is someone who has initiated widespread Thai-China educational exchanges and who is in the government.

RTP are happy to have the Press involved every step of an investigation. Defence Councils must love this openness.

Also the victim would be far more vulnerable in Thailand than in her home.
