Police Pursue Foreign Murder Suspects Who Escaped to Turkey, Intl. Collaboration Sought

[webfact]

On February 15th, 2024, Pol. Maj. Gen. Noppasin Poolsawat, the deputy commissioner of the Metropolitan Police, publicly revealed the progress of a case involving a Myanmar national who was allegedly murdered by two foreign suspects in an apartment room in Khlong Toei, Bangkok.

According to the police reports, Mrs. Tae Thewin, the witness at the crime scene, was under police interrogation including the issue of whether or not the 5 million baht of the victim’s money that was claimed to have been stolen had actually been taken.

 

The victim’s wife, whose name was withheld by the police, was a potential witness to confirm whether Tae’s statement was true or not. The police would investigate further the victim’s frequent travel from Yangon, Burma to Bangkok, Thailand with more than 52 times on record.

 

Upon police investigation, the police would gather evidence for the case which reportedly was assumed to be connected to another scam in Thailand. The business between the victim and the two foreign suspects may be a so-called “grey” business, according to the police.

 

UPDATE: By Kittisak Phalaharn

The picture of the suspects were provided and released by Thai police.

According to what I read they were initially described as Scotsmen and then later as Cameroonians? Was the witness colourblind?

[worgeordie]

Och aye , not Scottish defiantly West African , doing a runner straight after the murder,

good chance they got the 5 Million , they could be plying their trade in Turkey or if they

make it back to Cameroon not much chance catching them.

They don’t look like bagpipe players to me.

When will European countries stop giving away nationality to everyone?

[JingerBen]

What made anybody think they were Scots in the first place?

Operation Black Eagle cleaned up Lower Suky for a while.

It should to be revived and put into operation wherever needed.

If it's the same international cooperation they sought for that tepid little man-child boss, then I don't fancy their chances.

I'm sure their response to the murder of a brother officer was an (tonguie-in-cheek) anomaly similar to the jailing of Mr Thaksin. Clearly the police don't give a hoot about killings done by rich folk.

Took the 5 million skipped it out of Thailand to Singapore and then off to Turkey... catch us if you can.

There was also some debate over the suspects true nationality and whether they were actually Scottish

This debate can be laid to rest, because according to Peter O'Toole "Scots do wear kilts" (The Last Emperor), and these guys do not:

First instance they were Scotsmen and later retracted to be Cameroonians. Now I could understand them initially being taken for Cameroonians but why Scotsmen first.

Perhaps they told the victim that they were Scots.

Thinking about this, if I had just killed someone, I'd go to Sweden or some other Scandinavian country. I saw a movie in 1978 called Midnight Express about an American banged cop in a Turkish jail. I still have nightmares about it. Scandinavian jails are supposedly quite nice. 

[bristolgeoff]

They look like scots 100 percent for sure.Looking at the picture I  would say  pick the west side of africa  and think again.Turkey is not on the african west coast

Cameron is a proud Scottish name. Just put an extra O and you have Cameroon. They could be ex army. Black Watch methinks 🤣
