PHUKET: -- As the one-year anniversary of the execution-style murder of Jintana Mahattanapak approaches, her family seeks to meet with Phuket’s new top cop for help in a case that appears to have gone cold.

Ms Jintana, a human resources director at the time of her murder, was shot coming home from work on January 18 (story here).

Police initially believed that the incident was a revenge killing connected to staff who had been fired.

“She was a strict person at work… so some employees at the hotel lost their jobs. In one incident, she had to fire some employees because they were found cheating their employer. This probably caused her murder,” Phuket Provincial Police Deputy Commander Arun Kleawwatee said in January last year.

Ms Jintana’s family identified a second possible suspect, telling police that a “suspicious man” had viewed Ms Jintana’s body at Vachira Phuket Hospital. The family provided police with the license plate number of the man.

Neither lead appears to have panned out yet.

“We met with former Phuket Provincial Police Commander Choti Chavalviwat last August, and since then, we’ve gotten no updates about the case,” said Winyoo Mahattanapak, Jintana’s husband (story here).

“Our family would like to meet with Phuket Provincial Police Commander Ong-art Phiwruangnont. My wife’s relatives are spread out across Thailand, so we have to figure out when everyone is free to come to Phuket.

“However, I want the meeting to be as soon as possible. I want justice for my wife,” he said.

Someone in that hotel did it or ordered someone to!

Sadly this is just another case which is a reflection of the inability of BIB to do the hard work of investigation, following leads, door knocking etc that is a must to solve a crime such as this and many others.

The only cases where they get a result at all, is when the evidence is handed to them via CCTV network...Then a technician can piece together the scenario and send plod to the address of the offenders to make an arrest.

CCTV is obviously a useful tool for crime evidence, no doubt about that, and does help, but without it, BIB are totally useless..

Things are so bad here, and excepted by most as being the norm, that as in recent cases where BIB have arrested people purely because of CCTV and not skilled policing/detective work that they are actually given accolades for the ''great job'' they did..

Agree with above posts and I suspect that if the BIB followed the "money trail" regarding the fraud going on then they would find their main suspect...........but knowing this place they already did that and the inevitable happened!

Careful what you say....,,,, You guy's might end up in on same charges in jail with PW's morisen if you're not careful...jail time would be bad enough, but immagine if you had to tolerate him 24/7...
