Thailand needs me, like Gotham needs Batman.

 

Or anyone could just come here and do their criminal activities.

hmm ... P4P is illegal, so those involved offering and paying for, would be considered criminals :coffee1:

Always jumping to conclusions. 

 

Slit throat - Not a conclusion. It´s a fact

Gruesome discovery - Would say that is a feeling based on the facts surrounding people at the place of discovery.

Foul play suspected - Probably a conclusion based on the facts and evidence collected.

I'm trying to think of the last time I saw one of the old-fashioned cut throat razors.

I can remember being shaved by a barber for an event 50 years ago. He did it so well I did not need to shave for three days afterwards.

Strop, (not Hoges mate,) reminds me of my Dad!

I doubt it Rex,  if he's back in Takjikistan or anywhere near there he's gone for good.

More then likely another of thousands of Russians working here illegally was caught growing weed in his illegal house and was dealt with the old fashioned Russian way but slitting his throat,, I'm guessing the Russian mafia didn't like him stealing there business,,time to kick them all out.
