Must have upset someone real bad bad or simply a case of opportunist robbery by female "friend". Sad for his Thai wife and children. Never piss off a Southern Thai. They don't <deleted> about. Mueang Trang is pretty boring but maybe he found some P4P that went wrong or was it something more sinister?

 

It was a suicide.
Case closed.

Well at least that's one less Russian backer.

six unused condoms.

Where would the investigation lead if they had found 6 " used " condoms? ???? Or did they and they are not telling the press? ????

It was a ‘bargirl’ with whom he had met at least two times before. In this occasion she tried to drug and rob him, claiming that he refused to pay her. She drugged him but it appeared to not have the desired effect, so two of her ‘friends’ came in to finish the job… so claims the culprit: https://thethaiger.com/hot-news/crime/suspect-says-he-stabbed-chinese-businessman-to-death-in-south-thailand

 

 

 

3 arrested in Satun for alleged murder of Chinese businessman in Trang

 

 

Police in Thailand’s southern province of Satun have apprehended two men and a teenage girl in connection with the death of a Chinese businessman at a resort in Trang province.

 

Police also seized a Honda Accord sedan and other items, including 11 bank books, five ATM cards, one credit card, two passports, three cell phones and 11,700 baht in cash, believed to have been stolen from the victim.

 

The 40-year-old businessman, identified as Li Zhri Rui in his passports, reportedly owned several para wood processing plants in southern provinces. He was found dead, with several knife wounds, in the bathroom of a resort in Trang yesterday (Tuesday).

Underage in that case, need to be over 21 to work in a bar.

I believe stating the number of unused condoms is important as it's indicative of some sort of expected sexual encounter.   I have no idea as to the motive.

It may also be indicative of a small military operation in the jungle using the condoms to prevent river water entering their rifle barrels while swimming crossing a river. Or for pending party as they could not find regular balloons in the local shop.

From the link:

One of the suspects, 22-year-old Natdanai, reportedly told police that he received a phone call from his 17-year-old girlfriend, also a suspect, asking for help, claiming that the businessman refused to pay her for a sex service she had provided and assaulted her

 

A rather strange relationship?

Or the UK's Two Para that issued condoms to the lads serving in Borneo to stop leeches swimming up their bell end. There was also a buddy system in place where, at the end of a wade through a swamp, you checked your buddies ring piece for similar intrusions, and he inspected yours.

 

Formative experience.

Fai called me and said that the Chinese man refused to pay her and struck and attacked her. Fai reportedly put sleeping medicine in his alcoholic drink to calm him down but it did not affect him.

Sounds like premeditated murder to me.
