JeremyBowskill Posted June 26, 2014 Share Posted June 26, 2014 17,000 baht seems like a good price for murder. Probably about a grand for every year they will do inside, top job boys and well thought out plan of dumping the body in a taxi! 2 Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

dinom Posted June 26, 2014 Share Posted June 26, 2014 (edited) The story changed a bit. Instead of 1 teenager asking for the ride and lifting the body into the trunk it's now 2 grown-ups. It makes a difference. Also stopping the taxi along the way to make a "phone call" and then disappearing adds more sense to the real story now coming to light. Why is it so diificult to report the real facts from the start? TIT or what? Edited June 26, 2014 by dinom 1 Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Popular Post Rykbanlor Posted June 26, 2014 Popular Post Share Posted June 26, 2014 Another fantastic example of the countries journalists at work here. I assume it's the same story. Yesterday, it was one 'teenage boy' who clambered into the back of the taxi after depositing his grisly fare in the trunk. Now there were two of them, and the body was also in a bin. Facts travel through an unfamiliar dimension in the world of Thai media. 3 Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
noitom Posted June 26, 2014 Share Posted June 26, 2014 Two "Myanmar" nationals. Had it been two Thais there would either be no story or it would be two "men." Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
bkkjames Posted June 26, 2014 Share Posted June 26, 2014 Two "Myanmar" nationals. Had it been two Thais there would either be no story or it would be two "men." So in your home country if two of your fellow citizens did a similar deed, would they be referred to as Two XXX Nationals? Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Gandtee Posted June 26, 2014 Share Posted June 26, 2014 The victim got his just deserts? How many other workers had he ripped off. A bit over the top to kill him though. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
