khunken Posted September 16, 2014 Share Posted September 16, 2014 Instead of making 'concerned' comments, why hasn't the interior minister told the DSI to get off their backside and send a team of investigative & forensic experts to the island post haste. Focusing on Myanmar workers (only?) appears to be looking for a scapegoat. 2 Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Upset Posted September 16, 2014 Share Posted September 16, 2014 On a another note, I must say its not fair to say that these poor migrants from Myammar, Cambodia etc are always used as scapegoats as some of these Cambodians, Burmese and even Fillipinos (a lot in Thailand these days).....can be very nasty and terrible creatures too.

lingyai Posted September 16, 2014 Share Posted September 16, 2014 (edited) While I will agree there is some bad behavior by some Western tourists in Thailand they were in a semi secluded spot and it was dark. This isn't daytime with others obviously there. They were sharing a room with their friends so no maybe they didn't have a room. I can understand the romance of being by the water in the dark. Not endorsing it but I understand it. Edited September 16, 2014 by Rimmer quoted repy of removed 2 Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
minikev Posted September 16, 2014 Share Posted September 16, 2014 This is just so very sad and cruel. Think about the parents of these young people. How must they be feeling now?

Popular Post lingyai Posted September 16, 2014 Popular Post Share Posted September 16, 2014 Or they had sex. Removed the condom and were laying together. Some people do that after sex. I think that is a concept quite foreign to a lot of the posters here. Usually it is exchange of cash and " goodbye number 26" She was a BRIT on holiday, not a whore working for cash. At least pay some dignity to her, moron. You are not understanding his comment. He is making fun of some TV posters here. As they only know what paying for sex is like. It is a joke, a funny one. He is not referring to the victim at all. 3 Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Strangebrew Posted September 16, 2014 Share Posted September 16, 2014 Ok you ruled out Thai's as we can see. But look at this logically #1 a bloody hoe found at scene. Maybe fingerprinting it might be in order since it looks to be murder weapon. # 2 The hoe would rule out farangs from committing crime. # 3 DNA test on woman for possible raped would be clear proof who committed rape and or murder. #4 Check victims finger nail she may have scratched attacker under her finger should be skin for DNA testing. Check her closely for foreign hair not belonging to her. #5 check area around attack should be footprints in and out at least you can figure persons size and weight that way and which direction he used to leave area. #6 suspects you go back to there room check all there clothes they might have changed them especially the shoes for blood splatter. # 7 explain how a fire can cause a bruise The person that said that is Thai and most likely the killer. 38 get police with brains to investigate this crime where Porntip and her freaky hairdoo?

Popular Post wilcopops Posted September 16, 2014 Popular Post Share Posted September 16, 2014 so it seems there are 2 possible scenarios....... 1 - the Police have acted quickly and efficiently to solve this crime. The crime scene was sealed off and forensics went in etc etc. They have made a prompt arrests and the perps will soon be brought to justice. ....or.... 2 - They have no idea what to do in such a case, the crime scene looks like a children's sandpit and the evidence is trodden on by all and sundry. in order to get a "result" they have gone round all the illegal immigrants they have been extorting money off and tried to beat a confession out of them, this will in the end, of course, save face and make the whole unpleasant incident go away. 4 Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Popular Post tropo Posted September 16, 2014 Popular Post Share Posted September 16, 2014 "Gen. Pravit Wongsuwan, Deputy Prime Minister and Minister of Defence, said he instructed police to urgently solve the case..." So most other cases of criminality are dealt with on the back-burner (excuse the pun), at police's own speed and discretion? Farcical! They also have to investigate the victims' conduct to see if they didn't deserve to be murdered and/or raped, because these type of things should not happen. Maybe it's only me, but I'm finding these type of comments hard to digest. 5 Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Always18 Posted September 16, 2014 Share Posted September 16, 2014 Just watched a BBC news report on these disgusting murders and the reporter was quite incredulous that when he had asked a "local police chief" why they had arrested 3 Myanmar migrant workers he had been told that "they probably had something to do with it" and that he "could not imagine a Thai ever committing such a terrible crime"! His comment was something to the effect that it hardly showed an open mind on the part of the police. Just another well-publicised foot-shot by Thailand for the rest of the world to wonder at. 1 Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

love1012 Posted September 16, 2014 Share Posted September 16, 2014 I dont believe the migrant worker story for a minute - I have to be honest in what i think - they were drunk having sex and Thai people didnt like it and killed them.

razer Posted September 16, 2014 Share Posted September 16, 2014 Is that really sound police work, eliminating all Thais because they can't believe a Thai could do such a thing? I still can't get out of my mind the Russian stabbed 7 times in the chest and the police called a suicide. Karma has come to Thailand. It has arrived.

Popular Post mrtoad Posted September 16, 2014 Popular Post Share Posted September 16, 2014 The alleged comments by a BIB officer that "it couldn't be a Thai" is an absolute disgrace, as were some of the other comments by government officials. These buffoons are always so worried about their "image" and how it will effect tourism, they have no idea that their views, and idiocy actually put Thailand in a far worse image. So far, all the usual BIB BS in play at present. 10 Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Popular Post crazykopite Posted September 16, 2014 Popular Post Share Posted September 16, 2014 Very sad for the families of the deceased my prayers are with them at this very sad time , there have been to many incidents where a holiday maker has been killed , supposed jumping off balconies or drowning seem to be the norm there is never a suggestion that the jumper was pushed or that the drowned were delibertely were held under water until they could no longer breath all to often the Thai authorities will work out so e form of explanation. I have yet to hear whatever happened to the heir of Redbull who killed a policeman whilst under the influence nd I doubt nothing will ever be heard because money has been paid under the table to let it go away or the two young sisters who died whilst on Phi Phi island who apparently died of having there drinks spiked. There are far to many unexplained deaths in the Kingdom . I hope the British government will send out there own team of investigators as I for one believe the Thai police do not have the experience , knowledge or motivation to resolve this terrible crime. My fear is that they will get a submission of guilt from an uneducated migrant by using there interrogation methods as for forensic evidence that becomes a joke as the scene of crime would have been disturbed within half an hour of the discovery of these tragic events. 3 Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

How does this figure and particularly the odds of 2,400/1 that you will die while in Thailand hold up against UK visitors to other countries? How many are OAP's kicking the bucket?

andypatt Posted September 16, 2014 Share Posted September 16, 2014 The Thais only seem to care about their tourism industry, so long as someone, anyone is arrested and paraded in front of the worlds media, the Thai police will be happy, they really don't give a toss about this poor couple or who actually did the murder. I do love living here, but now after these murders I am getting the feeling from friends and family that I must be stupid for wanting to live here. These are the same family and friends who were envious that I lived here. And the same family and friends who enjoyed free holidays here while they stayed with us, but now I have had three e mails and two telephone conversations and the general feeling is " why the hell do you want to live in Thailand?" And "I don't think I will ever be holidaying in Thailand again" 1 Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

sweatalot Posted September 16, 2014 Share Posted September 16, 2014 The 'used' condom holds all the evidence, assuming it wasn't used 3 months ago .... don't lose it guys or throw it into the bin as beach garbage..... That should have been the first thing to be analysed... so let's assume it is right now, and not the post-haste-mortem. A USED CONDOM as evidence in a rape and murder case? My, what a considerate rapist! Give me a break... The condom could have come from the couple and not the murder/possible rapist I guess the clever Thai police already found out the most likely story what happened is this: the young couple left the party to have some fun with each other. That's why there is a condom found. For what reason should a rapist use a condom? They were naked. Not unusual when having sex. The perps came to the scene and wanted to have some "fun", too - or only the money or the mobile ... When the couple tried to chase them away - the hoe was used Anyway may be quitre different - who knows? To what ethnic belong most of the people on the island? It is most likely that the perps belong to that ethnic whose number is biggest. (Only likely not proof) But that does not say anything about the violence proneness of that ethnicity "Thais do not do that" is utter BS - enough proof for the opposite.

max72 Posted September 16, 2014 Share Posted September 16, 2014 If they are unable to get the true murderer, they will probably resort on a Burmese scapegoat who has nothing to do with that. Who is going to defend him ? All Burmese who overwork like slaves here must live in a state of terror, fearing they could be arrested for something they didn't do. Yes, nobody in the authorities care about the murdered couple, they just fear about tourism business and the money in their pockets,so they need a culprit, real or not real.

Jeremy50 Posted September 16, 2014 Share Posted September 16, 2014 On Tuesday Thai junta chief and prime minister Prayut Chan-O-Cha appeared to call into question the victims' conduct in addition to the perpetrators of the attack."We have to look into the behaviour of the other party too because this kind of incident should not happen to anybody and it has affected our image," he told reporters, referring to the two tourists.
