Pressure on Pattaya Police to solve “Boat and Body” mystery



PATTAYA: -- On Monday a meeting was held at Pattaya Police Station led by the Deputy Commissioner of Region 2 Police who wants to ensure that everything is being done to solve the case of the Catamaran and the discovery of 2 bodies close to it off the coast of Larn Island.

Police Major General Surapon visited Pattaya to ensure that the investigation into the recent discovery of two headless corpses close to a Catamarn moored 500 meters off the coast of Larn Island is progressing.

He was told that Police are in close contact with the Belgian owner of the boat, Mr. Joost Goovaerts, and the German Captain Mr. Jorg Hiatze. The Boat owner, who is currently not in Thailand, will be interviewed next week at Pattaya Police Station but has confirmed the boat had sailed from Singapore, via Cambodia to Pattaya and developed technical difficulties which resulted in it being moored off the coast of Larn Island where it awaits repair.

From what is reported, the Pattaya police are too busy arresting ladyboys to have time for much else!

I'm not much into the endless suicide comments surrounding these cases, but now the BIB aren't writing it off as suicide they have to do some work, I look forward to the outcome of their investigation

I thought I heard there was no suspected foul play,and suicide was the cause

Are the bodies even related to the boat? From memory the boat was locked, no damage ( or struggle indications) and a member commented on the currents in the area.

They just discover another head, but no corps. Not sure if this will reach the news.

This is an amazing story! Two people had their heads cut off and it hardly makes the news (and only five responses on ThaiVisa).
