A bullet to the head is far less expensive than a long prison sentence

Perhaps there are more dark secrets in his past. He seemed to know what he was doing after a "fit of jealousy".

Most crims here seem to have committed crimes at home then flee to Thailand, not this one though. A Very premeditated murder indeed. 

Immigration chief is going to double double down on the O/A visas.

It`s time for Big Joke to check on the chiefs don`t you think

What is that going to help dealing with two people who get into trouble with each other and them one decides to kill the other?

 

They can't control every visitors emotions or evil thoughts.

dismemberment is a new trend.

everyone's doing it now.

 

Probably watching too many Netflix documentaries - they give the impression that dismemberment is somehow a normal thing to do.

AKA the "slasher visa"...

 

Actually it's quite encouraging to note that this week's decapitation can't be linked to dodgy retirement extensions.

Wonder if any (body) has eaten at his restaurant 

Yes why didn’t he cook him up, serve it in the restaurant, after eaten no evidence 

Yet another quality tourist.

The murderer looks like a Chippendale's dancer.

This has all the makings of a Netflix series.

I agree this latest crime story is interesting, but nothing to lose your head over. 

I can understand feeling trapped in a relationship by an obsessed control freak. But clearly there is more to the story than that. Thus we need a Netflix series.

Who are these people? What kind of demented state of mind is required to murder someone, and then dismember their body? Is it likely that those of us with fairly healthy minds are simply incapable of imagining such depravity?

Yeah well the chef angle with someone skilled cutting up meats is an interesting twist. Of course the surgeon victim was also skilled with knives.

As grisly as it was dumb.

He might as well have dropped the bag off at the police station instead of the dump.

Everyone here knows that their Thai garbage is picked over many times for recyclables, and anything of value by scavengers before being burned. 

Well, at least he'll have the rest of his life to think about it cooking inside a sweltering Thai prison.

Apparently The Mob used to dump bodies in the garbage dump just outside NYC?

Just guessing that there was a money-angle to this crime?

I am often surprised at the quick confessions of guilt these offenders make ? I would love to know how the police facilitate them.

Yuk!

"He initially refuted all accusations, but upon further probing, the Spanish chef confessed to the murder and dissection of Arteaga at the hotel. "

 

I guess that (probing) would be considered torture in some circles!

Butt not his...????

Never mind he/she/it will find another boyfriend or two in prison!????

Its become the land of foreign hack and choppers lately ????

I am sure he will have a new boyfriend or two at the Bangkok Hilton.  Enjoy your very long vacation.

Being confronted with evidence probably has a lot to do with it.

To paraphrase Blackadder, he may have been a third rate surgeon, but he was a first rate second course.
