Koh Tao headman offers Bt1m cash if evidence proves his family implicated in the tourist murder

[ttthailand]

Maybe 1 million to come to me first before you go to police ....

Could be, but no matter how I adjust the controls in Photoshop, I can't get a hint of anything like a pool cue or anything else crossing in front of that shirt. It seems to be more like a belt disappearing under the shirt.

It does look like his grip could be on a pool cue, but the cue won't show up. I think he has his thumb hooked into his belt, which someone might do if he was waiting for his turn? He could be holding a cue in his other hand, out of the picture.

If there was anything straight like a pool cue crossing in front of that shirt, we could pull out a hint of it, I believe.

I think he is scratching his arse...

soo easy to switch cum samples on the way to singapore,....

Is that what you think all these DNA samples are they are collecting???

No, I was speculating that the sperm sample from the female victim could have been swiched in transit so that it would not match the perpetrators. That would be the easiest and most direct way to derail the entire investigation.

Bangkok post says the army is coming to deal w the mafia, and the general has ordered the mafias across the country to be rooted out,

oh boy,

this may be the tipping point

I weep for the families of these kids and the usual barnum and bailey three ring circus that everything seems to become in LOS.

Koh Tao 'sealed off' after two tourists brutally killed

THE NATION, AFP

Gruesome murders of British pair on island paradise shock locals and visitors

BANGKOK: -- POLICE have sealed off the resort island of Koh Tao off Surat Thani province to hunt down killers who brutally murdered a British couple and possibly raped the woman on Sunday night. The 24-year-old victims have been identified as Hannah Witheridge and David Miller.

Full story: http://www.thaivisa....itish-tourists/

this person in the black t shirt looks the same person put on the facebook pages and another newspaper we cant quote . this is dated 16 sept 14

Is this villiage headman with the gloves on at the crime also ?

Hard to tell with the grainy imagery, look at the hairline though, the contour of it and shape.

Are you suggesting that is Worapan ? if so wrong, and typical of the incorrect detective work by armchair TV pundits.

The guy who you have singled out in the pictures wearing gloves is Dr Chasit, who has been on the island for years treating locals and tourists alike from his practice in Sairee village.

The guy in the black t-shirt - and the guy right of him. ''brothers''.

“I would never protect anyone who has committed a crime, even if it was a close friend, my own brother or son. I am an honest and straight forward person. If the provincial police are able to obtain evidence proving this I would gladly give them a one million baht reward.”

So, if the police can prove he is an honest and straight forward person they get a million baht??

Who's the guy in the black shirt on the left? An undercover cop, or a potential perp?

Any reason why he should be standing in the middle of a crime scene ?

No reason. Just hanging around with his police buddies

What an arrogant bastard!

It's like" I bet you, nobody can touch us"

Agreed, anyone with a heart and as much money as them would offer a reward to find the killers, not a reward to the cops if they can prove his family is guilty...total disgrace..

[wilcopops]

It looks that we a re now in the "petering out" phase............ any police investigations have come to a dead end, either through lack of evidence, lack of competence or lack of co-operation or balking by local nabobs

When I read of this offer by KT's Poo Yaai, why am I reminded of the Bards immortal words.....

Hamlet:
Madam, how like you this play?

Queen:
The lady doth protest too much, methinks.

So who is conducting the DNA tests exactly? A solitary police lab technician? How can we be sure that if the police say there isn't a match that this is really the case?

If the person(s) providing/publishing the results has been corrupted, we'll never see the real perps brought to justice.

It's almost as if the police rounded up this guy's family in a response to public pressure just so they could say they didn't do it.

"Sorry Mr. headman, we have to pretend we are investigating you thoroughly because everyone is watching. Don't worry though, we'll say the DNA doesn't match and then it'll be over and you can get on with your lives."

Now thats about as twisted of logic as you can get.

At first everybody here at TV is angry that the powerful members of society are above the law.

Then the police disprove you by investigating and publicly fingering a member of an influential family.

And now all you can say when your accusations have been proven wrong is that it was an elaborate police scheme of reverse psychology.

Pretty funny.

Why do all these farangs on TV think they should be the puppet masters of the Thai Police or the Thai General or of Thai Society?

Why do so many TV members think it perfectly reasonable to make demands that Thai Police test everyones DNA in a huge dragnet when they would complain like the dickens if it were ever attempted by the Police in their own Western European countries?

[ChrisY1]

IMO, there's someone else running this guys pantomime who's a lot more influential than this person......

[ClutchClark]

Everyone on TV blew a gasket when the one local Police Captain said a Thai could not have committed this crime yet from the start near every TV farang has acted out of an equal presumption that the crime could never have been committed by a fellow farang.

That, folks, is called irony. Or is it hypocrisy?

[J Bradley]

I tend to agree. The killers are gone and will not be caught.

It's only a matter of time now before the Chief of Police on Koh Tao gets his well deserved promotion.

Throw him an MC hammer cassette, baggy tent pants, and b*tch slap him for not being put in his place sooner.

Money again. It's not about the money pal, it's about justice !!!

It’s about losing 'face' and not being able to litigate overseas tabloids as there legal teams are bigger than the village headman.

Commiseration to the families, very sad time in their lives.
