[Nemesis7]

He got out that's fine, but why wasn't those two guys arrested by the police yet?

Was reading an article by Andrew Drummond who stated that the police have evidence linking the two suspects to the garden hoe and that they also believe that they were part of the group who confronted Hanna and David in the bar and then followed them

Is it having few wrong pics making one pedo or its when u engage ur self with direct contact with minors.

Lol nice way to make child porn seem so innocent

Just saw on Australian media that tourists are leaving Thailand in droves. Tourists are actually scarred

You mean Australians are actually scared. Most tourists are still enjoying their holidays.

Lukecan, why do you keep dodging the question about your connections to Thailand? Have you actaully ever been there?

In another threads he's admitted to coming to Thailand a couple of times. KSR dweller I believe.

[Thai at Heart]

Maybe General Prayuth and the appropriate authorities should introduce

a law giving higher punishments to crimes against tourists/farangs, similar

to crimes committed at night but if no bail possible.

That might make some people think twice how to behave and sure would

have a positive impact on tourism and show the world, Tourists ARE safe.

Doesnt need a higher punishment. A reasonable punishment for everyone equally would be good.

They throw the book at people for the most minor of drug offencese, but everyone has heard of these offences for getting beaten and people getting away with it. And lets not beat around the bush, whilst you can get a good thumping back home, these beatings can be from groups and can beat people within their life. The bloke I helped out was in hospital for months, and is now unable to work. He has had many reconstructive surgeries.

I've never been to KT, and I'm not a KSR dweller, but you can call me an RCA dweller

Yknow Chooka I wouldnt blame the British press if they set out on a boycott Thailand campaign. It would be justified the way this has been stonewalled until its become impossible to cover up .. and they only reason .. I think the International press and community for this, nothing of credit do I give to the Thai authorities... nothing.

If I were a Brit tourist id be leaving too... Why ? not because of fear but because Its the only way to show my disgust over the whole thing.

I Hope the international press start to look a lot harder into other past cases and push them back up to the surface .. theres a lot of unsolved cases and families that still need closure... you can bet 50% at least are cover ups...

European tourism needs a boost, enough really great holiday places across Europe with far more culture, architecture, great food, beaches and all that good stuff.

Why don't you lead by example? Pack up and just leave if this country is so bad instead of continually whining and whinging . Your children will be much safer at some council estate in London or elsewhere.

Hmm lets see now, I do live and do business in both countries with my Thai family, have done for decades by choice because living full time in Thailand would be to the detriment of my family both financially and socially. My wife and daughter feel and are much safer in the UK, no question about it also been properly and fully educated in the UK with qualifications that mean something worldwide and we dont need to live on a council estate so dont..

As for the rest its none of your business ... i dont apologise for the mistakes and faults of the UK of which there are many and im sure not going to apologise for Thailands massive faults either...

Perhaps others can find it, but the BBC website is carrying absolutely nothing about this story.

Just watch out for the "Taxi Mafia" in London, Paris, Rome, Madrid .....

Corruption is so ingrained in the culture of Thailand and many other south east asian countries, it will never be eradicated .

Unless dare i say it a Pol Pot moment.

Have a look at the comments . . .

Nicola McAnna - The police told us that Sean had never searched for anything like that in the 4 years of the computers history. It was once and clearly an accident as deleted right away. Regardless of the circumstances you are still guilty of downloading it. there was nothing else there & no searches.

Did he sign the sex offenders register? I don't know.

Apparently it was a community service sentence, no jail time.

Dunno.

Not condoning nonces, but convicted paedophile? It's a tough call.

[ozzyrules]

Does not have to be Thai Visa. Any press, any blog, any site anywhere?

My point is that all the sherlocks out there offer nothing but conjecture.

If they profess to know everything..... then step up to the microphone!

There is an international audience who want to know the truth!

Well I stepped up a few hours ago but my post was deleted by Thaivisa, you can rest assured that some people don't want to know or allow the truth to be conveyed..

This crime is a lot worse than Murder...there is photograpic proof from the crime scene that has been released by the police in private that shows and proves the female victim was murdered BEFORE she was raped twice...

counting the minutes till this post is deleted, but not to worry, there will be copies of the photos/proof sent to the western news, no more cover ups!!!!!!!!!

[indo247]

The daily record is a tabloid and there is not much info, if there is a conviction on the Thais i guess he will be a hero of sorts

[indo247]

What proof is this?

I'd hardly class him as a paedo for that.

There was a priest who lived near to me when I was younger (I'm not Catholic and have never been indoctrinated into 'the church') and I know for sure he used to rape kids all the time because he got caught and I knew at least one of the vicims who sued them : That's a paedo / nonce.

[indo247]

i know the photos your on about, i'm not going there with this ask a lady friend to explain

I'll try to explain it ...there are photos that prove it....Imagine when a person dies, their body gets hard quickly, so if a person was penetrated after death it would be usual for their point of penetration to remain open rather than close naturally...the photos show this clearly...

As I mentioned earlier ..... and said all along.

They will arrest the culprits as soon as enough evidence is gathered....

as for all the TV judges ........

The arresting part is easy - tho linking the arrested, alleged perpetrators to the real crime not that easy

[jaywalker]

He looks like an extra from Hangover 2. A complete and utter goof. Making a mockery of it all.

I bet you dont look much either...

<deleted> does what someone looks like have to do with anything ? stuck up much ?

Yea, when you mumble along through an interview sounding more incoherent than Cheech and Chong, it does tend to influence judgments about your credibility.

I just watched the video and there was no mumbling and he was quite coherent. Maybe you just don't understand him because he is from Shotts in Glasgow. I understood him perfectly. As to the truth of what he is saying I couldn't comment as I don't know the guy. Just because he doesn't dress the way you do doesn't make him a poor witness. If I am ever on trial for anything I hope you are not on the jury as you seem to base your assumptions on how someone looks.

I'm from Florida & I understood him just fine.

[T_Dog]

So is the guy they are looking for in Bangkok the one on the right in the photo that Sean McAnna sent out from the mini-mart?

[Plutojames88]

This Scot arrived the day the murders happened

Is an obvious drug taker .

Knows the Thai men who run bars.

Admits he even worked there illegally ( in bar work) for 18 months.

Has "" cheerful "" looking male friends that even concede he might be lying.

Fled and gave an account that puts focus on men there that DNA is yet to confirm.

Has a conviction in Scotland for viewing Child pornography.

And sits in freezes in 7/11?

The xenophobic Junta will enjoy the trial .
