Backpacker Murders: Father Pleads For Justice

[penzman]

Luckily our friend Backpack Thailand is keeping us informed regularly.

Great job!

[Backpack_thailand]

Nowt doing for at least 6-7 weeks I'm afraid to say!

I'm still on the MF though and will post any gossip!

[frogmo1]

Coverage of this case seems to have gone from infrequent to non-existent, both here and in the West.

Is the trial over and the verdict under submission?

Has the defendant remained bailed pending a verdict?

[Backpack_thailand]

The trial has been concluded, all the evidence is in which proves that this cold hearted P.O.S murdered two innocent people.....

....he is due to be let off scott-free on 26th May!

How do you know BP?

How do you know BP?

udon,I think he is going on the past history of people with influence getting away with crimes you would not believe possible.

[Heng]

It could be another one of those cases 'dragged out for 17 years while the defendent is free on bail' type of thing.

[frogmo1]

And I suppose anything short of an acquittal would mean years and years of appeals.

By the way, who pays defense counsel in this country when the defendant is so poor, as in this case, that he had to pawn his pistol (accordingly to his testimony as reported on this thread)?

Only 4 days left!

Has everyone forgotten this case?

Will there ever be a verdict?

We should FINALLY know the outcome of this case this coming Thursday (26th).

I'll be there, hanging around outside and I know a lot of the expat community here will be there as well. There's not too many expats here in Kan but there'll be a bit of a presence at least.

The good thing is that the foreign press should be there in numbers so they can highlight the feeling of the local expat community...!

Fingers crossed this P.O.S is gonna fry!

Well I'll keep my fingers crossed but deep down inside I have my doubts. I really hope I am wrong about this.

Horror...., especially also this:

Quote:

Yes I agree with you, however looking at the photo's it seems to me that the guy liked taking photo's of his girlfriend with Somchai .

I don't know, but to me these pictures tell a story, and obviously later led to jealousy and anger.

It is easy to see what happened ....

The guy should pay the price for his crime and swing.

Sounds like he was a real big mafia type. Probably thinks he still is. This is really going to test Thai justice. "LoS" Land of Shootings.

Unfortunately, (IMO) there's very little punishment for perjury and it may not even be interpreted as such. It can just as easily be interpreted as, "it appears that I did meet her, had relations with her... must have slipped my mind as I'm a popular fellow,... maybe I had a drink too many when we met, dunno."
