Mum was right. I was given the same advice. But proof reading on any site is almost unheard of in today's fast moving digital world (BTW, take a look at the spelling of your second word and the failure to capitalize your second "I"). Just sayin'.

Second word looks ok to me.

My biggest concern with this, as others have highlighted... 13 hours for Mr Plod to arrive! 

 

Overworked and underpaid?  Too many more important tasks at hand? 

 

Is the scene in England got that bad that this is accepted as normal? 

 

Things in NZ are quite bad too but a response is normally quicker,  unless it's something like burglary, theft or damage.  Then forget about seeing anyone. 

 

But anything involving domestic violence or weapons brings a rapid response. 

 

Poor lady.  Hope the catch the fiend. 

The London Met are too busy trying to find hate crimes on the internet than to be concerned about murder.

They are too busy trying to stop the anti Jewish protesters from being harassed on their many marches and vandalising outings..

R.I.P

Because the police in the uk are far to busy monitoring upsetting tweets ie Non Crimes to bother about real crime like theft, burglary, car theft, assault, rape...... Say a bad word and 15 police cars rush to the scene....

Amazing that the cops even bothered. If one really wants a fast response from the Metropolitan Police, just tell them you saw Tommy Robinson in London. The cops will be there mob handed in an instant!

 

RIP for the lady. This seems quite a complex story. That location is an expensive neighbourhood about 1 minute walk from Tony Blair's London home and Hyde Park.

If I read it correctly. It says friends reported her missing and it took the police 13 hours to get there. But Neighbors say they heard 2 loud screams then total silence, just a FEW HOURS before the police arrived. ??????????

Will Big Joke be sent to investigate

She owned a 4 m flat??

In Egyptian Mythology it's told that Isis put brick on brick (one brick for each lover) and so built the Pyramids.

This sad incident must have a rather juicy flip side of the coin ......... but will fizzle away like anything else these days - how sad 😞

Fierce bidding happening at RTP as to who’ll get a free trip to UK to help investigators. This follows social media photos at tourist sites in London. Upon return the officer who paid the highest to the decision maker will submit a google translation of the report prepared by London police. 

I can show you court documents, translated by a legal translator (appointed by the courts), that are 10 times worse as a Google translation.
A friend of mine needed adoption papers for the Australian Government.
He paid for a LEGAL Thai-English translation of the adoption papers and when presented to the Australlian government they almost pissed in their trousers from laughter.
Sometimes, a Google translation is muchmore accurate as the "appointed translators".

No they would not, just another go at Thai bashing.

From a UK news source "A resident told the Daily Mail the property, where Ethiopia’s Embassy was based in the past, is being rented out as an Airbnb-style holiday let."

Seems that not only in Los the Fuzz are Lazy /A Care Factor Zero.

London news saying she's Chinese/Hong Kong and she probably wasn't the owner of the property as it was AirBnB.

Many Asian working girls ply their trade in that area , not suggesting that was what she was doing though

Actually, it's merely that ANF forum posters would immediately rule that the RTP will immediately rule it a suicide. Builds that posting cred.

I don't know about the value, but the property is in Westminster (street sign on the building), less than 200m from Hyde Park (Google maps)

Yes but the point is the building has an address which any journalist who isn’t a complete numpty would be able to find pretty easily. But hey don’t let a little thing like accuracy and facts get in the way of a news story!!

Is the value and location important? What is important is the police response thirteen hours after the report. 

They were all out hiding in bushes with speed camera.

Delayed police response on Thai woman’s brutal murder in London

 

 

The brutal stabbing murder of a 27 year old Thai woman, in her residence in Westminster, London, has stirred up public fire against the local police over their delayed response to distress calls from her friends. The unfortunate incident unfolded in a home located on Stanhope Place, near Hyde Park, valued at around US$4 million.

 

The victim Kamonnan Angela Thiamphanit’s lifeless body was discovered on Monday morning. Her neighbours reported hearing screams prior to the gruesome discovery, according to British media. The search for the culprit is still ongoing.

 

The Thai Ministry of Foreign Affairs confirmed on last night that the deceased was indeed a Thai national who had been stabbed. The ministry further revealed that the Thai embassy in London had reached out to the victim’s family and was working closely with the police on the case.

 

As reported by the Daily Mail, law enforcement authorities were alerted by a worried friend of Kamonnan on Sunday evening. Despite this, they failed to arrive at the scene until 13 hours later. The Metropolitan Police confirmed receiving two calls from the same individual at 7.05pm and 9.34pm respectively, as reported by the BBC.

 

Multiple wounds

 

The police force revealed in a statement that the woman was initially graded as a medium-risk missing person prior to the discovery of her body. Officers visited the property on Stanhope Place at 8.30am on Monday. They were confronted with the grim sight of a woman who had suffered multiple stab wounds upon forcibly entering the premises. An autopsy report revealed sharp force trauma as the cause of death.

 

Before Kamonnan’s body was found, neighbours reported hearing two high-pitched screams, followed by an eerie silence. Given the lack of forced entry and the presence of a video entry system at the front door, it is speculated that Kamonnan might have been acquainted with her attacker.

 

The Metropolitan Police has referred the case to the Independent Office for Police Conduct (IOPC) due to the criticism received for their handling of the investigation.

 

Detective Chief Inspector Adam Clifton made a public appeal for information.

 

“I would appeal to anyone who has information that could assist us, no matter how insignificant you think that may be, to come forward and speak to us. Kamonnan’s family and friends have been devastated by this murder and we must ensure whoever is responsible is held to account.”

 

Neighbours revealed that Kamonnan lived in the £4-million (182 million baht) property situated in the posh neighbourhood of the City of Westminster, just a stone’s throw away from Hyde Park. The property, which served as the Ethiopian Embassy until four years ago, has since been converted into several Airbnb units. Kamonnan’s specific rental spaces within the property remain unknown.

 

The three-storey, five-bedroom terraced home originating from the 1820s is rented, according to a local hotel owner, who was oblivious to the identity of the tenant,reported Bangkok Post.

Well done Watson. Surmising? Even if correct, are hookers down the list for police response time?

A missing adult is way down the priority list of the London Met Police

 

A friend of mine owns a basement flat a few minutes walk from where she died.

 

Forget abut "Upmarket Westminster", the area is Bayswater, this is a "Bayswater Murder", that is how Londoners would refer to it.

 

https://en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Bayswater

 

I worked "just down the road", 200yds East of Marble Arch, for 7 years in 80's/90's.

 

In those days telephone boxes were full of business cards advertising "services" in Bayswater (as described in the link below).

 

Move on to 2015:

"Bayswater, or at least parts of it were historically a red light district, and every now and again there are reports of brothels being busted, mainly of the type involving captive immigrant sex slaves held as their 'debts' are unpaid. This isn't likely to be apparent to tourists as it isn't the 'streetwalking' kind of prostitution - there is more of that in Paddington, albeit not what it was even a few years back.

Do an internet search and plenty of escort agencies based in the Bayswater area are shown"

It's no different now, except more internet contacts and many more LBs on offer.

It is all irrelevant.  The property was split into several flats and it is reported that she was staying there as an Airbnb.  Therefore renting on a short term basis.
