Thai Policeman Gets 25 Years For Pai Murder

sentenced to 25 years

Would be nice if he has to serve out the sentence in full.

I am of the view that this joker will be out in 10 years. However the BIB can't possibly turn a blind eye to the second case now can they ? So hopefully a second conviction may get him a few more years. Hopefully :ph34r:

watch ratface 'find' Buddhism........ out in 2,,, he knows the system

<br />Funny... he kills a Thai and is sentenced within weeks.   He kills a Canadian and two years later still hasn't gone to trial.<img src='http://static.thaivisa.com/forum/public/style_emoticons/default/annoyed.gif' class='bbc_emoticon' alt=':annoyed:' /><br />

Yup. Clocked that one. He attempted to murder the Canadian lads friend, so it's not as though there isn't a witness.

Keep it up. Along with the rest of the place rinsing Western firms out, Western people out . . .

Eventually I feel this country will isolate itself from the rest of the world with it's behavior, which will be a shame for all the good Thai folks, of which there are so many.

Yes, but the rich and powerful pigs will all have their pots of gold. That's the goal in Thailand isn't it????

Great news, although can't help thinking he's got off lightly - half sentence for pleading guilty, what's all that about, he's still guilty! - and it's a shame the lady had to die at the ineptness of the system here. Perhaps if/when he gets convicted for the murder of the lad, he can do the 25 years followed by the death penalty. Good riddance.

And the sad part is that his young wife would most likely be alive had justice been served in the first instance.  That is really sad.

My first thoughts also. The farang girl who was seriously wounded (the cop tried to kill her), will not return to Thailand to testify, and nobody can blame her, as she surely has psychological wounds as well. Plus, the Thai authorities will say she was a floozy (as they already have), and she'd likely be in danger if she returned to testify.

It's the Thai witnesses who are chickening out - knowing any truthful testimony would gain them the ire of the cop, his family and friends - many of whom carry guns.

He'll be quietly let out in a few years. ....to go an kill again.

One wonders how this sentence will be carried out.Will he be allowed out at times or given "special privileges?

oever the failure of the Chief of Police to turn up is probably the most significant thing.

The ENTIRE Thai police force is stained by this action - the fact that they have seen fit to stand by and do nothing about the man's behaviour reflects so badly on the state of the Thai police and the legal system they are meant to support.

Coupled with the torture scandals of the Army the international standing od Thailand as a free country is severely damaged

So the failure of the justice system is responsible for the 18 yr old girl's death. Shame. Failing to lock up a murderer because he only killed a foreigner, then he goes out and kills one of their own. Then he gets charged and sentenced. Guess it highlights what they really think of us.

You all know what they think of us. Their women are great and educated too. However I like to know if any of us ever made a friend here outside the wife family?

I can make them all over Asia except here.

Good he is sentenced for ONE crime...even if it is the latest murder he committed...

Are you suggesting that killing a foreigner is considered a crime in Thailand?, c'mon this is not a real country, is a "hub", he probably got a refund for the lost bullet by TAT...

:cheesy: Good one!!!

The international standing is damaged. I fully agree

But governments will not want to get involved

America, particularly but not solely, should not be kow towing to Thaialnd or pumping money in

Thailand's finest...the police chief refuses to appear and give testimony in a murder case. You can't make this stuff up!

Do people need more proof that this is one very sick society ?

Well put

I don't think anyone can logically disagree with you

It's not uncommon that scumbags like this enter the front gates of a prison to find the back door is left open.

The Department of Special Investigations was put in charge of the original murder investigation of Leo Del Pinto after local police tried to interfere with the investigation and concoct a story that the two tourists had attacked the Sergeant and that he had acted only in self defence.

He claimed he shot upwards at Del Pinto as the young Canadian attacked him knocking him to the ground. The Thai National Human Rights Commission conducted its own investigation and found its own evidence conflicted completely with local police.

Tests conducted by Thailand’s Forensic Pathologist Dr. Porthip Rojanasund showed that the Sergeant was standing over Del Pinto when he shot him in the head.

Del Pinto was shot three times. Reisig was shot in her side but later made a full recovery and testified before returning to Canada.

Del Pinto, from Calgary, had gone to the aid of Canadian Carly Reisig, from Chilliwack, B.C., after Uthai had pulled a gun on her when she was having a row in the street with her Thai boyfriend.

Since 2008, despite concern expressed by the Canadian government , attempts to proceed with the trial of Uthai on charges of murder and attempted murder have been thwarted for a number of reasons.

Sergeant Uthai was only detained in custody for a brief period and was subsequently released and returned to normal duties.

Ross Fortune, a lawyer and family friend of the Del Pintos said from Calgary today: “This is shocking news. We only heard last month that Uthai had been interfering with the main witnesses saying they were betraying Thailand by giving evidence against him.

“The witnesses fled. But have been found again by the DSI (Department of Special Investigations) and they say they will still testify.”

Dr. Surasee Kosolnavin, one of the Human Rights Commissioners last year laid a complaint against intereference by local police into the investigation of Dechawiwat

Speechless...... But as someone else has alreay said. It really does make you think. What do they really think of us?

I guess your post was edited because what you said is what we all in time come to realise living here. 'They' quite simply detest us. Call it what you will racism or ignorance. We grow up thinking that a smile is a simple gesture of happiness but here it has a totally different meaning. It is a false flag. Death from friendly fire. I had hoped that I would never reach this base realisation. That perhaps I would not become that bitter old, angry, fat bastard I detested when I came to live here first. Well I have as have so many of my friends. Yes there are of course exceptions and yes sometimes they have good reason but in the main we get what the Thai men reject and are merely ATM's .... we spit out cash and are a better Alternative to Thai Males...

Even behind bars, this police gangster will have an easy life. Mobile phones, alcohol and woman are available through corrupt prison guards.

Best thing is to send him on a "secret" mission just across the Cambodian border. Armed with maps, binoculars and a video camera and anti-Cambodian propaganda. Surely the Cambodians will have suitable accommodation for him.

Yes he attempted to murder the Canadian lad;s friend who is a substancial witness but as the police say the witnesses refuse to turn up. So I guess he has abandoned his late friend in support of the BIB.

W.R.O.N.G.

All you have to do is Google this story to know what's really happening... I would think all "farang" would want to, but, once again I am as perplexed by the Westerners living here as I am Thailand in general.

Their *************** Chief of Police in Pai refused to take the stand. That is the witness that did not show up. His friend is a woman for whom, despite Thailand's defamation laws, the police cooked up some BS story about her being pregnant, and the police officer who killed them was just trying to intervene in their drunken argument outside a bar in Pai. These ********* are watching too many crappy Thai soap operas.

I wouldn't say I hate Thailand... but, if I didn't have a serious relationship here with a local, my conscious would be a lot lighter looking at this place from the air on my way out for the last time.

My god, that's opening not just a can of worms but a whole bloody shipping container-full !

Seriously though, i reckon that any Thai who hasn't been closely involved with a farang, sharing

a common language to a well-developed level, hasn't got a clue about 'us' outside of the usual

run of racist-ish stereotypes.

This is actually a very good point. I truly believe the Thai think we are just the same as they are, racist and cowardly behavior for reasons of saving face is acceptable. For some reason it still shocks me when someone says, "his parents are very rich" or even quite openly admit racism is OK. The Thai are elitists in their own minds, the life of a foreigner seems to be taken in the same light as foreign money, just an endless supply. I hope they prosecute this "cop" for the crime of the Canadian, and maybe should go forward in taking away the accepted practice of people snubbing their noses at orders from the courts to testify. God forbid causing a Thai person the inconvenience of being accountable for their actions. The "chief" of police has no business being in the position he is in now as one of authority. You would think that in order for Thailand to "save face" they would enforce the laws out of respect. <_<

Thai Justice??? Personally know of a Thai Lady who stabbed her husband of several years... He died, she admitted that she did it and only because she was "Angry with him"... That was about 6 months ago in Bangkok, and last week at the market in our city the wife was walking around shopping for new clothes??? I was told that a friend lent her the money to "beat the trial"... Thai Justice!!!

10 years sounds a bit optimistic, If i were a betting man id guess he'll be out in 2 or less one way or another.

I really doubt he will survive that long in prison. Policeman usually have a rather difficult time when incarcerated. ;)

I think he will probubly get shot or something by his own kind and will be a suicide , he is an embarisment and it can all go away .

Dont think his own kind really consider him to be an embarassment. All in a days work and all that crap.

Pretty disgusting hey? After 4 plus years here I can see it for what it really is and will most likely finish up my contract and be gone. I just can't stand the bs anymore - the photo shows him wearing a Buddhist amulet and recently been to temple with the white string around his wrist makes me want to vomit. Petty people full of sh**

Ending a life, whose purpose in life seems to be ending the lives of others seems to be a complicated and confusing issue for the weak-hearted. We'll all be dead in a hundred years, anyways. Why not have a little resolve, and make society a bit less complicated regarding one such as this?

Were it my brother who was the victim, and I knew where this beast would be, I am certain I would know what my next course of action would be. Soldiers kill the enemy in the line of duty for less cause. Why should a family member be considered to be anything less than justified for standing in front of a judge and saying, "Your honor, I am not sorry for ending the life of this beast, who murdered by brother, tried to murder my other brother, and eventually beat my sister to death."?

Curious, but I wonder which school this former officer / murderer went to. I wonder what system he is the by-product of, because there are certainly more on the way.

Isn't it just amazing ? Criminal justice is a joke, is there not one person in the Govt who sees this as a national embarassment?

And bear in mind, if this murderer was in custody, his child-bride would still be alive. It is sickening .....
