I've been asked to go numerous times, and recounted the events every time. I discourage anyone and everyone from ever going there.

I don't disagree at all. (Nor do I agree.) But goll dang, that's 3 defamation lawsuits... Maybe more if you include the RTP. In Thailand... Edit: Out of curiosity, under Thai law, is AseanNow shielded from defamation suits for stuff they allow on the forum?

Terrible price to pay but if she had of been a faithful girlfriend she would still be alive today. RIP A guy who lives in Thailand who comes to make a cold-blooded comment about morality... I definitely would have seen, read and heard everything here!! You should go live in Iran or Afghanistan, that seems to suit your morals more. By the way, anyone familiar with people who have lived on this island knows exactly who the culprit is and exactly what happened. This has been described in other comments. Let's stop this charade. 2 innocent people in prison for 10 years, this story makes me vomit. Edited April 3 by Marsupienemi 4 2 2 Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

That family has all the political connections to make it go away. Asean seems to be in their pocket, too. LOL Nice headline. The Burmese "boys" are not murderers. They are scapegoats. The biggest smirk is coming from Somyot, the police chief in charge at that time. He has since been exposed for receiving vast amounts of money from nefarious sources (all well-documented in the press if you care to do your research). 2 1 1 Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

I remember that piece of lying crap from the case. And I do remember his name and face popping up in subseqent years as to his corruption. This Asean "news" is simultaneously hopful and discouraging to anyone who was here during that farce. I'm glad people know Win and Zaw are scapegoats. I am glad they know Nimrod, whatever his Fresh Milk nickname is, the real killer. FFS, it's supported by CCTV footage of some Toovichian relative of his running all over the scene! And I'm glad people know that the entire ordeal was an elaborate show to free a killer and to jail two innocents. And yet, I'm discouraged the charade continues. These kids are now adults. They should be set free. 3 2 Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Popular Post sambum Posted April 3 Popular Post Share Posted April 3 This tragic event was covered in depth at the time, and now all the armchair detectives and keyboard warriors are now back on the case. Personally, I think that there were too many flaws in the case that it should have been thrown out of court, but one thing that I remember from the original investigation was the comment by the main policeman in charge:- "NO THAI COULD HAVE DONE THIS!" Make of that what you will, but the way I read it is that "No Thai will ever get convicted of this crime!" 2 1 1 Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
frank83628 Posted April 3 Share Posted April 3 4 hours ago, Crash999 said: Anyone who was paying close attention to the case isn’t so sure of that. There was the Met police investigation, the changing timelines of the defense, that the man’s phone was found at the Burmese residence (despite them saying they left before the couple would have walked past), the defense declined to retest DNA after it was possible, the testimony of the third Burmese, the running away and changing appearance before anyone accused them, and so on. Reason people didn’t hear about this stuff is that the Samui Times was on a crusade to free these two despite what the facts said. And international media assumed ST was a local news source instead of a blog being run from overseas. The court verdict and more importantly statements by the father who attended the trials explain everything. the owner of ST was in the country at the time, she has since fled, an arrest warrant has been issued for her! but you're right about the overseas media thinking it was a local news source, she lived in Samui and had not been back to Tao for over a decade, apparently she left rather quickly after upsetting a number of people through bad business and also had a failed marriage, she has a personal grudge with Tao thats for sure... oh, and lets not forget money she is making from her book she'd had published about the Island! vested interests much!! The families have seen far more evidence than anyone here has, The Miller family agreed with the verdict, Davids mother Sue Miller has been verbally attacked by Suzanne Buchanan, ST owner) and her group of Tao bashers, i have read some of these attacks, accusing her of being paid off, among other quite disgusting comments, considering it was her son that was murdered. 2 1 Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

RIP "........if she had of been a faithful girlfriend she would still be alive today." You ARE a troll! I had my doubts, but not any more - as another poster has already asked - how do you know she was unfaithful? Should she be unable to talk to another man on holiday because she has a boyfriend "back home"? (And by the way, your comment should read "...........if she had been a faithful girlfriend......" No need for the "of" word - it's even worse than "should of" instead of "should have" or "should've") 1 1 1 Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

The place is run by thai mafia thugs. The murders were committed by a Thai and covered up to protect the tourism industry. bob.

Then before the cops got on the scene the hoe was not where it was supposed to be (murder weapon) it was moved by the gardener, 200m from the murder scene, but a certain individual had already decided it was the murder weapon ?????? and went looking for the gardner to have him put it back against the tree ..................... that is some #### genius detective work right there And was the hoe ever fingerprinted Edited April 3 by actonion Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Popular Post sambum Posted April 3 Popular Post Share Posted April 3 5 hours ago, thesetat said: Although you are correct. There is truth to his comment. She would not be dead if she had remained faithful and was not off with that man. The comment was not made to justify her being killed but rather points out a simple fact. Whether or not the Burmese did this crime will forever be lost. But i do recall the case about how the Thai man disappeared in the middle of the night on an unscheduled boat trip ending him in Bangkok with reliable witnesses. "She would not be dead if she had remained faithful and was not off with that man." Not another one! GOAT says she was unfaithful and got a verbal slapping for it. She was not "off with that man"! They left the bar SEPARATELY - Hannah leaving the bar before he did. Another disgusting victim blaming comment!
