rungnapachan Posted August 3, 2011 Share Posted August 3, 2011 If they write a book about this, its title will be "A Tale of 3 Idiots" ! Idiot #1 dobs in his ex-mates, goes into hiding, and then puts his new location on facebook Idiot #2 rents a room opposite using his own passport. Within minutes BIB knows their prime suspect. Idiot #3 rents a room, then disposes of his knife and blood-soaked shirt by throwing them in the swimming pool. My dog is smarter than this lot. to me it seemed like they watched too much of tv crime series so that all their moves were copied from the tv sets. no wonder that the police got them in a blink of the eyes cause it all there in the police investigation manual Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Why are the police on first name terms with the killers ?? It is a normal Thai/Asian thing when they refer to any farang it is normally Mr Steve, Mr George etc, They very rarely call you Mr Jones , Mr Smith.

softgeorge Posted August 3, 2011 Share Posted August 3, 2011 The death penalty would not go amiss in this case. An "eye for an eye"! The death penalty would be showing compassion to the killers a term of natural life in a Thai prison would be more fitting. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

SlyAnimal Posted August 3, 2011 Share Posted August 3, 2011 So "Around 12 Thai men" turns into 2 farang. Smells fishy to me..... I'm surprised that soo many of you have jumped onto the bandwagon of instantly condemning them, even though the details are soo inconsistent with yesterdays article. Take into account how quickly the police found and tracked them down, in comparison to similar cases, and I'm thinking there's definitely something fishy going on Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
theanimaster Posted August 3, 2011 Share Posted August 3, 2011 Gaddamn -- you can start up a scambusiness here in Thailand without any problems -- AS LONG AS YOU HAVE A WORK PERMIT.

Jirapa Posted August 3, 2011 Share Posted August 3, 2011 How many Swedes died in a day? Amazing reporting within less than 24h..... Yesterday's news: Neighbors told rescue workers at the scene that a gang of about 12 Thai men were waiting to ambush the Swede when he returned by motorcycle to his home at The Lantern family pool villa complex off Thepkrasattri Rd at about 8pm last night. Today's news: 2 Swedes killed him and confessed No Thai involved.. Only bad Farangs? And what r u trying to imply here Mr? if u feel that ppl in his country are no good then pls. feel free to move Yeah right? 12 Thai guys discreetly hanging out on a street corner waiting to ambush and kill a ferrang? Sounds plausible? Or 2 ferrang stab a ferrang in the neck and admit guilt. Sounds plausible! Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

rvdk Posted August 3, 2011 Share Posted August 3, 2011 Professionals they are, check in a hotel with a blood-soaked T-shirt and throw the knife in the swimming pool.

And one of them has pleaded guilty to stabbing the man in the neck. Where's the fish and what's the big deal, they wouldn't plead guilty in if they weren't unless they're just a couple of attention seekers but that's highly unlikely!

BarnicaleBob Posted August 3, 2011 Share Posted August 3, 2011 I find the possible Russian connection interesting. The scam these fellows were involved in appears to be the same scam that I have seen other Russians run in America. Having had to deal with such gangs back in the States I would think that these young fellows are just the mid to low level members of a much larger Russian run organization operating here in Thailand. Members of these types of Russian organized crime do not easily give confessions unless they are ordered to by their higher ups so as to end investigations and to keep the police off the upper management of the organization. If I were a Thai cop I would be looking for the connection to who is really pulling the strings, find out who is paying for the suspect’s attorneys, who is paying their bond (if there is any), who is coming to visit them. There are other signs the Thai police should look for such as tattoos, do any of these fellows have similar tattoos which would indicate an organized Russian crime family? In summary, it is possible that these fellows were ordered to punish the victim and if they got caught they followed the standing order to admit they did it and to deny any affiliation with the crime family that they are members of. In the end these fellows will be compensated by their bosses or they will be terminated as being too great of a risk. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

sausageandmash Posted August 3, 2011 Share Posted August 3, 2011 I guess this proves the old addage: "Nobody likes a grass" So it was nothing to do with a love triangle, purely murder because he reported thier criminal activity. A complete waiste of life for purely acting like any decent citizen. I hope these two get life in a dirty cockroach/rat infested prison. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

TAWP Posted August 3, 2011 Share Posted August 3, 2011 Although they carry Swedish passports all of them (it is fairly easy to get citizenship in Sweden) they look more Russian to me from the Picture. Considering the murdered guy was Russian from Birth one could speculate about where their real connections lay. The guys above is Swedish, nothing else. Maxim was Russian born but Swedish by naturalization. Stop speculating, you are making a fool of yourself. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
KRS1 Posted August 3, 2011 Share Posted August 3, 2011 (edited) So you have 2 giant sized Anglo Saxon Swedes covered in blood stealing motorcycles and running around a small town checking into a hotel, where there aren't many farangs to begin with. Not too bright these fellows, can you imagine how the Thai guy felt when 2 farangs stole his mocyc from him? He was probably like "<deleted>"???, but in Thai.

I don't think ramming a knife into someones neck is going to stand up very well as an "accident" in court???? You may be surprised. I remember two cases in Chiang Mai, maybe about 5 years ago. Case 1 a farang woman shot and killed her estranged farang husband for not coming up with child support, I believe she walked out of jail in under 5 years. In another case two farangs got drunk together and one shot the other in the face, killing him of course. I don't remember how much time he served but I think it was also less than 5 years. I remember thinking at the time that if you want to kill someone better make sure it's another farang and make sure you do in it Thailand preferably while you're drunk. Light sentences for extraordinary crimes occur all over the world, not that locking people up for life in sh*t holes achieves any sort of rehabilitation.

twix38 Posted August 3, 2011 Share Posted August 3, 2011 "course , the really interesting thing here is how they (evidently) so easily got out of that jam in pattaya" That is indeed the real question. So many times people don't serve time or get the sentance required. They can also pay a bribe to get free. I've lost count of the number of cases that never receive any follow up until they are arrested again for another crime or go missing(flee) whilst out on bail. Corruption allows arrest to be a mere inconvenience soooo many times in Thailand and never a truer word spoken Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
