Pakistani family defends accused in high-profile German businessman murder

[webfact]

 

The family of the Pakistani man, arrested yesterday for his involvement in the murder of the German businessman Hans Peter Mack, say he is innocent. The family of the arrested man, Sahruk Kareem Uddin, pointed the finger of blame towards another suspect, a German woman, Petra Christl Grundgreif. They accused Grundgrief of tricking him into the plot to murder the 62 year old German businessman.

 

Police officers in the central province of Kanchanaburi yesterday arrested the 27 year old Pakistani suspect at a hotel where he was hiding from arrest. Officers then accompanied Uddin to Nong Prue Police Station in Chon Buri for questioning.

 

When Uddin arrived at the police station, he declined to give an interview with the awaiting reporters. Instead, he requested that they patiently await the details of the questioning from the police.

Shortly thereafter, Uddin’s family, including his father, mother, and older brother, arrived at the police station to meet with him before he was temporarily imprisoned.

Uddin’s father reported to the police and media that the family knew the German woman, Grundgreif, who was arrested before Uddin. Two years ago, Grundgreif contacted the family expressing interest in establishing a seafood business in Pattaya.

 

Grundgreif urged the family to order seafood products for her adding she would pay for them at a later date. However, the family, suspicious of Grundgreif’s credibility, opted not to proceed with the arrangement. While the family decided against working with Grundgreif, Uddin maintained contact with her.

I know it's a generalization, but a 27yr old bald tattooed Pakistani is not the norm, looks like he wanted to be part of the "gang''.

A 27 year old man of Pakistani origin with Thai citizenship is fairly unusual too. Maybe he's just copying the current Western fashion for ink.

I'm currently watching this mini series called Tokyo vice, it's all about an American newspaper reporter who goes to work for a Tokyo's newspaper and find himself mired in the  murky adepts of the Yakooza world and this Pakistani resemble those tattooed Yakooza members.

My son is such a good boy and yet he associated with them.

Looks like they are all pleading innocence but we have a body chainsawed up

[BenStark]

He must have been photoshopped into the back of the truck with the freezer

[rwill]

He's innocent that is why he was trying to cross the border.

Perhaps he thought he was being hired to prune a few trees.

According to his sister ...

Quote

He is a member of a motorcycle riding group called 81.

81 are Hells Angels. Outlaws are their rivals (AFAIK).

Seems odd that they were working together.

I guess the chainsaw did it then. Case closed.

Yes officers! The woman made me kill, then she made me cut up a human being over the space of some hours. Its all her fault!

[RichardColeman]

Funny how a man 'tricked into murdering the german' did not plead his innocence by going straight to the police when he found out  rather than running away and hiding. Guilty - life in the stallag !

 

Sure hope they check this persons bank accounts and show exactly how he was living in Thailand at 27 with no apparent work other than killing

That was my immediate thoughts, in fact he looks like a gang member with that appearance.

 

It just isn't the ' look ' of normal everyday Pakistanis.

Because they reported and said he has a Thai passport and has Thai residency/citizenship.

 

And from the posse attending the police station, it looks like all his family are in business in Thailand too.

Those glasses certainly give him a very sinister gang member look. ????

Jump ship. Not that odd. All parents say kids are innocent. Just liars or delusional.

Why would a Thai have to prove how he funded his life unless his lifestyle indicated that he was living way beyond his means?  It was reported earlier that he was involved in land sales/transactions.

Pattaya is dirt cheap. Pensioners live there.

So what?  What's that got to do with a 27-year old Thai having to prove how he supports himself, as someone suggested?

Prove to whom? He doesnt have to do anything. His life. None of their business.

That's what was said in an earlier report yet this one says he was in an hotel. Other reports say police arrested him in a taxi (were they hiding under the seats?) another thhat he was '.....on a taxi......

Me, I think he went to Kanchanaburi to look at the scenery.
