Phuket Expat Dokset Murder Trial: All Charges Denied

[Hobnob]

apparently, they havent found the whole body in that plastic box...

only some parts of it, and it was mentioned that some sort of "acid" might have been used (or so)...

there is no such acid, which destroyes bones and things but no regular plastic box... im not sure, if there is even any acid anywhere available which does destroy a body completely, then maybe in a emaille-bathtub or so...

given the utterly strange time frame, set by the "husband", the family and the "law-firm", it appears, that she was murdered, digged under somewhere by her murderer...

as she had three children, a plan to get some money was prepared...

the body was located and the few limbs found were put into a plastic box and driven to doksets house... when the financial background of dokset was figured out by the "pro`s", the police was sent to doksets house - who, against all odds, refused to pay ... (?) ...the rest of the story is in the paper...

i believe dokset is in danger in prison... if he doesnt confess and the case goes into trouble he might be at a serious risk...

Hydrofluoric Acid can do a very effective job on bones and flesh. Standard low and high density polyethylene and some other common plastics are resistant to it. Not suggesting this was used, just answering ddpffft's query. Not going to comment on the rest of his 'theories'.

Hydrofluric is a very dangerous acid if it get on your skin it will burn all the way to the bone and it is very hard to neutralise, breathing the fumes are very dangerous as well. Too dissolve a body would take a great deal of acid and a very large container probably not availiabe to the regular Thai person. Hydrofluric will dissolve glass, we used it to dissolve silica deposited in coils.

Feeding them to the pigs is a far better option, they eat EVERYTHING

Dokset murder trial postponed for want of a translator

The murder trial of Stein Havard Dokset was due to continue yesterday but was postponed until August 22 after it was discovered that no court translator was available.

Dokset, accused of murdering his ex-girlfriend Rungnapa Suktong and leaving her remains in a trash bin for months, appeared at Phuket Provincial Court yesterday at 9am.

After a six-hour wait, the judge informed the court that an English-Thai translator was not available.

Almost unbelievable, until you remember where you are.

Yes one would think securing a translator would be close to the top on a list of preparations for the trial.

. Timing is everything.They only had six months to prepare for having a translator at trial... and now that they discovered they don't have one, it will take another six months to find one. .

They had a translator, but Dokset refused, he wanted a different one, that's what they wrote in the norwegian newspaper anyway.

Thank you for that clarification. If there is any other future news on this case in the Norwegian media, please don't hesitate to share with us.

Thank you.

You are describing the defence, are you not ??

Whilst the constitution, court procedures etc allow for translators to be made available as part of the rights of the accused, all parties involved know that the resources are just not there.

The defence could and should have procured translators and they failed to do so.

The accused is not bereft of money and should also have secured a translator.

Looks like a defence tactic.

Allow .........as part of his rights?

What other parts of the prosecution should the defendant be required to pay? The prosecutor and judges wages and retirement benefits?

Should this continue until he is bereft of money?
