why was the topic deleted (or just moved? to where?). I saw something on thai newspages, but want to know more.

A farang murdered in CNX should be more important than burgers...

Indeed. I received my copy of the email from ThaiVisa entitled "Breaking News: Farang brutally murdered in tribal ritual" but it seems the breaking news is broken.

The link enclosed in the email, http://www.thaivisa.com/forum/Farang-Murde....html&st=18, is duff.

However, thanks to db1tau I now know the sexuality of the victim and the location of the crime! Maybe with some more help we can piece the whole story together.

I think the thread was getting a little to personal, between some of the posters.

I suspect the whole thread has been removed, due to some very inane and disrespectful posts. If that's true I'm very sorry that the mod's were forced to make a decision like that due to some morons who lack complete emphathy.

From a few posts I've understood that the victim was an extremely kind person who helped out many people and was much loved by those who knew him and those who didn't but received support through him.

I hope this thread stays open for those who would like to make a tribute to him, and with disrespectful posts immediately reported followed by removal of these posts.

May he rest in peace! And again my sinceere condolences to his family and friends.

Is there a thread or post anywhere that gives the who, what, where, when and why to the, so far only alluded to, story?

All I can find is that a man has been murdered in his house in Chiang Mai, what is this "tribal ritual" that was headline news in the ThaiVisa email? Have two stories become mixed up?

Google David Lyall Crisp: http://www.andrew-drummond.com/tag/david-lyall-crisp/

About the tribal ritual, that seems to be not true. According to a friend of David and member of this forum, the police is doing an outstanding job.

Much facts about the murder aren't given, speculations way too many.

Can someone read thai? This is what I found about it:

You can find the topic in the Chiang Mai forum. It has been closed but is still available to view. Please remember that someone has been killed and show due respect.

The closed thread that I hadn't spotted, http://www.thaivisa.com/forum/Farang-Murde...ai-t237401.html , answers a lot of my earlier questions.

It all sounds very sad and as usual the published story is somewhat confused and confusing.

Sympathies to his relatives and friends, may he rest in peace.

Seems it has been locked, which is very sad for the many wishing to add their valedictory notices.

I had presumed moderators able to act use their powers selectively.

We all know that there are a lot of tasteless / offensive posts made. We just use a bit of commonsense to ignore them.

I closed it temporarily because the remarks were getting out of hand. It is open again. Sorry for the inconvenience.

Peace Blondie..... You don't just CLOSE a discussion like this one ....YOU CHOOSE what to block and block it!!! Thanks however for the apology!!!!

I just had lunch with a very good friend of mine and very very good friend of gthe deceased ...Audrey, the previous owner of "Pie Sabai" who has now lost another best friend//// first one being so and so ...who committed suicided just before Xmas, the 2nd one 2 weeks ago who passed away from an illness and now the 3rd one from a brutal murder ...she is understandably devastated and totally shocked ...she is herself 67 and has been living here for 20 years and has just lost 3 of her best friends in a space of 2 months, this one being the worse scenario!! I was very worried about her own condition today as she seemed to have gone over the top and lost it completely ....I can only say that thank god my dauhter and I were there with her and got her home to safely calm down ....We will check up on her again tomorrow..

I feel very sad and in a way disgusted by this and have little hope that the police will get to the bottom of this and properly and punish whoever did this .....it'll be like = 200 baht fine and 30 days in jail from what I can see of judicial systems these days

Since the original topic has now been re-opened, there is no longer a need for this topic asking about its closure. Please post further comments regarding the murder of David Crisp on the original thread.
