Tough guys - may you enjoy the next eternity in jail.

[angiud]

Slow down now ok?

[Tatsujin]

Death penalty please . . . scum like this don't deserve to breathe the same air as everyone else . . .

[Patje]

Such a waste, loosing your life because someone is sitting on your motorcycle. The world is going crazy !!

Rip ...

[klauskunkel]

they sure don't look remorseful

[keestha]

RIP to the German guy.

Not a good idea at all to become angry at young male Thais who have been drinking, and possibly have taken other substances as well.

[Cuchulainn]

Looks like he won't be getting pizza and fried chicken in jail.

[crazykopite]

So only one of them is taken into custody WHY ,

[waynethor]

The suspects don't look very concerned, do they?

I'm afraid that precedent has shown that there are no serious crimes against foreigners, except for the very odd time when they want to make a big deal out of a murder to convince embassies that they are concerned about tourist safety.

I would never have got myself in the situation the victim did (RIP). When I see situations like this, I just assume that they are on yabaa and not functioning with good judgement. It seems like a very large portion of Thai teens who night crawl are.

Police Arrest 3 Suspected Of Murdering German On Koh Samui

By Khaosod English

The crime scene on Koh Samui island where Schwartges Volker, 46, was stabbed to death on 20 August 2014.

SURAT THANI Three Thai teenagers have been arrested for allegedly stabbing a German bar owner to death on Koh Samui island yesterday.

The three suspects are between 15 and 17 years old, said Pol.Col. Satit Prom-uthai, an officer at Bo Phut Police Station.

According to Pol.Col. Satit, the suspects confessed to stabbing Schwartges Volker, 46, in Chaweng Beachs entertainment yesterday morning following a heated argument. Pol.Col. Satit said a search of the suspects' residences turned up a knife that was reportedly used in the attack; previous police reports indicated that Mr. Volker was stabbed by shards of glass from a broken beer bottle.

One of the suspects said Mr. Volker berated the group for sitting on his motorcycle in the parking lot of a nightclub, Pol.Col. Satit said. The suspects confessed to punching and stabbing him in the neck, the officer said.

"They fled the crime scene without knowing that the victim was dead," Pol.Col. Satit said.

The three suspects have been charged with premeditated murder.

They confessed. Case closed, hang 'em.

[jacko45k]

They often don't do they!

Many a time I have seen people at the police station smiling, smirking or even laughing, and often someone is dead, and the person so highly amused is presumably looking at an extended period of time incarcerated.

Makes you want to get physical until they do look sorry.

Punks.

[realenglish1]

Oh Thai Thai version of Bubba from the USA I am sure is waiting for these 3 when then get to prison.

That would be a suitable ending for them don't you think? .Let me know if you like this

[Halion]

Three sociopath scumbags with psychopathic tendencies devoid of any sense of morality,accountability or responsibility owing to the manner in which they have been dragged up.

[Tropicalevo]

Well done to the BIBs I say.

Let us hope that the next level up do as good a job too.

[Benmart]

So only one of them is taken into custody WHY ,

From experience, the accomplices often go into hidding. Once this creature starts singing, the others will be taken down.

Looks like he won't be getting pizza and fried chicken in jail.

His loved ones can bring him almost anything to eat while in jail.

[monk280915]

So many these days place no value at all on life.

[IAMHERE]

Fifteen to seventeen; not going to do much time if any and no way are they going to pay the final penalty.

[senoremac]

They are considered children under Thai law, thus held unaccountable after a light slap upon their wrists.

If not, then there's always jailhouse sausage.

[jaywalker]

Well, they confessed = They should HANG or at least live the rest of their lives in irons.

Capital Punishment may or may not be a deterrent, but then again it's not called Capital Deterrent is it?

Creten is what they are.

[TheOggMonster]

I almost pity these young fools!

It's clear to see where and what type of family one of them comes from!

[tomacht8]

15-17 years old?

Certainly there are the youth criminal law, but are they ever socially acceptable?

Are they ever been before striking, any police records?

They look more like junkies.
Were drug tests performed?
I do not like brain-dead drug zombie killers walking free around.

Yeah 3 deaths for 1 - you've got brains.

[cardinalblue]

These three low-lives are really a reflection of whomever raised them - three pathetic souls.

Big mistake by the German man by not recognizing instantly whom he was dealing with. A quick needs assessment tells one to avoid confrontation at all costs...

Unless only one attacked him and the other two backed off and showed zero aggression, all three should be charged with murder...

Now why was only one arrested?

I just read in the san francisco newspaper that a 15-year gang member was sentenced as an adult and was given a life sentence w/o parole....

It might not deter crime, bit he is off the street forever. The only thing I object is he becomes a financial dependent of the state. Should he die prematurely in prison, a win-win for everyone...
