A twist in the case of the kidnapped and murdered Chinese student

[webfact]

 

The murder of the Chinese student in Nonthaburi province last week was motivated by a soured love affair between the victim and one of her three abductors. The ransom story was just a diversion created by the abductors, with the help of a Thai bar girl.

 

The twist in the abduction and murder of 22-year-old Jin Can, a third-year music student at Bangkok Thonburi University, was revealed late this afternoon (Tuesday) by Pol Gen Surachate Hakparn, the deputy national police chief, who was assigned to supervise the case.

 

He said that the call made by one of the three Chinese suspects to her father in Beijing, using the VSAT application on the victim’s smart phone, was just a diversionary tactic to distract police attention from the real motive.

Chinese trio held and facing a heightened prospect of execution for a horrific murder in Thailand
by James Morris and Son Nguyeni

 

National Police Commissioner General Damrongsak Kittiprapas on Tuesday confirmed the arrest of the three Chinese suspects who fled the kingdom on March 30th following the heinous murder of Chinese student Jin Can on March 28th and 29th last in Nonthaburi. He revealed that Thai and Chinese police forces were now pursuing a joint investigation and that the accused would stand trial in China where they faced a sharply heightened prospect of being executed if found guilty of murdering the young Chinese woman. The three accused are (from left) 23-year-old Zhou Xiongfei, 23-year-old Chen Saikan and 24-year-old Zhou Pengfei.

Crime now looks like it was not primarily a kidnapping but a love affair that turned sour when the victim spurned the advances of one of the Chinese men. A fourth suspect, being held in Thailand, a Thai woman who befriended and facilitated the gang of three, may also have witnessed the sadistic torture and murder of the young Chinese student in the Bang Yai district of Nonthaburi on March 28th and March 29th last, say police.

Three men accused of the sadistic torture and murder of Chinese student Jin Can are in the custody of Chinese police after being arrested in the last 24 hours in Wuhan, China according to Thai national police chief General Damrongsak Kittiprapas. On Tuesday, he confirmed that the suspects would not be extradited to Thailand but would face a joint investigation and trial before a Chinese court with the prospect of them facing the death penalty or execution for the outrage they committed in Thailand having now risen sharply.

Thailand’s National Police Commissioner General Damrongsak Kittiprapas revealed on Tuesday that police in China have already arrested three men accused of murdering Chinese student Jin Can on March 28th last in Nonthaburi in a case that has shocked the kingdom.

I must have missed the part where they explain the real motive, what exactly was it again if not to get the money?

Quote from the link: 

 

Surachate also said that the boyfriend tried to have a relationship with the victim, but she declined. So, he went back to the bar girl for ideas about what to do with the Jin Can.

He claimed that the Thai bar girl suggested that they kill the Chinese student, adding that the girl was paid 80,000 baht for taking the three suspects to Suvarnabhumi international airport for their return flight to China after having killed student and dumped her body in a banana plantation in Bang Yai district of Nonthaburi province last week.

 

I just don't buy that.....

It’s amazing how that red notice works. They caught all the Chinese very quickly on the other hand. They can’t catch one kid that’s out in the open the red bowl kid is amazing Tit

[sammieuk1]

Well the that cleared that up then version is only clear in a Thai policeman's head for the rest of us its the usual swamp of suspicion involving money ????

Possibly the bar girl's role was to befriend the victim and help the perps get her alone somewhere.

 

I don't buy that the bargirl suggested the murder either.  "If she doesn't want to date you, perhaps you should torture and kill her!"  Unless it really was a kidnapping and after torturing her a little the father said no to a ransomed and she became a loose end?

 

It certainly sounds fishier now than it did before.  Maybe a PR coverup.

Yes, a very good chance of that happening.  Most likely by a bullet though.

So, not much different to what Thais do if a woman refuses them. Must be an Asian thing. Certainly, losing face isn't limited to Thailand.

because there is no precedent of a spurned western lover stalking and killing their "beloved"

 

what does it feel like to spout complete nonsense with such authority and conviction?

[AustinRacing]

Hope you’re not buying this coverup. How often a scorned lover involves two other guys and a stranger to take revenge on this manner? Chinese authorities taken over and will handle it themselves. 
To me it sounds like a mafia style business with links to government people that got out of hand. The three Chinese were probably gun for hire and as collateral will be disposed of with no access to outsiders so they rat anyone high up.

I think you'd find it difficult to find many places where it is pretty much a daily occurrence, as it is in Thailand. Either you barely read AN/Thai news or you're a Thai apologist, as most of us know that spurned Thai men frequently resort to injuring or killing her, and sometimes even her family, if he is rejected. So it is your post that spouts complete nonsense.

Not forgetting to throw in a little torture. If true, that alone should keep them locked up for a long time.

How long were these Chinese in Thailand? Maybe they had Chinese associates. Maybe the love angle was only a pretense to capture the victim for ransom.

Ransome definitely sounds more likely.  Then when they saw the relationship angle they thought they could sell that to put people off the scent of Chinese organised crime.

 

I mean, he followed her to Thailand with two friends to ask her out, then when she said no they kidnapped, tortured and killed her?

CPC stands for Cost-Per-Click. CCP stands for Chinese Communist Party, so who's right here do you think?

 

They do not hang criminals in China, nor do they use the bullet in the Head anymore. (mentioned earlier). It's death by lethal injection there now.
