churchill Posted January 13, 2010 Share Posted January 13, 2010 BANGKOK, THAILAND - Thai police launched a murder hunt Wednesday after the naked body of a retired Singaporean man was found dumped in a field. Teo Ah Yua, 65, had been strangled with his own shirt and his hands and legs were tied with nylon ropes, said police in the southeastern town of Sri Racha. Teo was a long-term resident in Thailand and was married to a local woman working in Singapore. Police also found his passport and foreign currency. 'We have not found the motive but we guess he was killed elsewhere before his body was dumped,' investigator Lieutenant Colonel Suchart Maneerat said. While Thailand bills itself as the 'Land of Smiles' for tourists and expats, there are regular incidents of foreigners falling prey to violence.

londonthai Posted January 13, 2010 Share Posted January 13, 2010 it was not a robbery, so the first suspects are the closest family/neighbours or business associates (if he had any). Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

korkenzieher Posted January 13, 2010 Share Posted January 13, 2010 (edited) it was not a robbery, so the first suspects are the closest family/neighbours or business associates (if he had any). It seems self evident to me that it was a robbery! A long term resident of thailand is found with some foreign currency - emphasis foreign, not Thai. So his Thai currency was taken, and the thief (if he is one and the same as the murderer) was smart enough to anticipate a conversation that would go something like 'Please, Kon tamruat, Somchai today, him change Singapore donlah, kah!'

samuitone Posted January 13, 2010 Share Posted January 13, 2010 it was not a robbery, so the first suspects are the closest family/neighbours or business associates (if he had any). Report said that foreign currency was found. If he was resident here, he probably had Thai currency on his person, so robbery cannot be ruled out.

MaiChai Posted January 13, 2010 Share Posted January 13, 2010 'We have not found the motive but we guess he was killed elsewhere before his body was dumped,' investigator Lieutenant Colonel Suchart Maneerat said. Quality policing from the BiB. "Guess" being the word. Investigation, detective? Though there would be some information from is wife, etc? Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
jb5music Posted January 13, 2010 Share Posted January 13, 2010 it was not a robbery, so the first suspects are the closest family/neighbours or business associates (if he had any). ... "or business associates" You know occasionally people are involved in complex schemes and businesses for their livelihood and things after even years can backfire causing someone to come out of the blue from anywhere. Not even related to being in Thailand. These people have a specific motive for killing a co worker or business associate. As I said completely unrelated to where he was from or what country he was in now. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Seismic Posted January 13, 2010 Share Posted January 13, 2010 My condolonces to the family. It must be a shock to be informed of the death this way of an elder family member. I have no information or personal knowledge of this gentleman, but it seems to me that a 'Business conflict' often ends up this way. Again, RIP Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

More detailed than US reports, unless it's a sports or movie star... The Thai Police are doing a good job, imho. From the linked article; "Pol.Lt.Col Niwat claimed the case was not too complicated and they only had to wait for more evidence before making an arrest." Lets hope so! It's sad to see this happenning in Thailand so often. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
