IamNoone88 Posted September 27, 2014 Share Posted September 27, 2014 hmmmm (1) every-body within 600m radius is a suspect = we don't have any-one yet. (ii) not complicate as luck was on their side = solid police investigation has now resorted to luck. Next it will be a fortune teller. (iii) no murders will take place in December ....... I was wrong, they have already consulted the fortune teller. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Popular Post Tatsujin Posted September 27, 2014 Popular Post Share Posted September 27, 2014 I've got a bit lost in all the misreporting . . . Did the "influential family" ever actually give DNA samples? Or was the fact that they "said" the son was in Bangkok (allegedly) at the time reason enough NOT to bother with it? 7 Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
stevehaigh Posted September 27, 2014 Share Posted September 27, 2014 " ... the evidence we have points to someone who was in the area between 2am and 5am that morning." That would make sense considering that's probably when the murder occured. awesome police work, i would never have thought of that 1 Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

kannot Posted September 27, 2014 Share Posted September 27, 2014 <script type='text/javascript'>window.mod_pagespeed_start = Number(new Date());</script> There is an elite class of people that have higher rank than the general. If they want the investigation stalled it will be stalled. Not sure if this is what is happening but it should be considered. No way to run a country that needs tourism. A double murder on a resort beach using bloody farm tools. No suspects, more than two weeks, small beach resort with "big men" controlled bars and night clubs. Police on the take for ages. It is a stain on Thailand's philosophy of life and relationships with the outside world. There's an outside world????????????? Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
morrobay Posted September 27, 2014 Share Posted September 27, 2014 Cases like this (random sex related crime with no motive) are always difficult to solve no matter what country they occur in. Many of the comments on this case are unjustified. The Thai police are clearly putting massive resources into solving it, and the PM himself has ordered action to improve security on the island and others in the area. If the perpertrators came ashore by boat will be like looking for a needle in a haystack. At present the police and the government appear to be doing all they can. How are you concluding this is ( random sex related crime with no motive ) ? Its more likely the couple had an altercation or were associating with lowlife local male(s) before attack. In any event the lesson here is: Do not visit or stay in any bar or area that contains lowlife local males. 2 Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
jimbeam1 Posted September 27, 2014 Share Posted September 27, 2014 After their comments about media intrusion, wouldn't it be better if they kept their mouths shut until they had some conclusive evidence. It could help them save face a little bit, maybe? jb1 Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Carrerakiss Posted September 27, 2014 Share Posted September 27, 2014 I don't understand why they only "believe" that the suspects live or work in the area. If they know who the suspects are, they know where they work and live. On the other hand, if they don't actually have specific people in mind when they say "suspects", they're just blowing smoke again. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
johnlandy Posted September 27, 2014 Share Posted September 27, 2014 The other 15% apparently is that as yet they don't know who dun it.

BestBitterPhuket Posted September 27, 2014 Share Posted September 27, 2014 Why say something when you don't have anything to say? Just wait. Several times we have been told that they "had him/they" and every time they let them go. Can you imagine how this feels for the families of the victims?

stephen terry Posted September 27, 2014 Share Posted September 27, 2014 I'm going to be optimistic. Well now that's out of the way, I'm going to suggest that any arrests made won't hold water, and the perps wriggle out of it. Or I could be wrong. If the police can link the headman's family or any other family, from tip-offs, then they will need to arrest them before they have the right to take a DNA sample, which will prove it one way or the other.

boomerangutang Posted September 27, 2014 Share Posted September 27, 2014 So 'complete' means - media interest has faded away, the police have returned to normal duties, tourist numbers are back up, and the killers are celebrating. Beware the moon! my thoughts also. I interpreted the statement similarly as: 'We are now 85% of the way toward the general public forgetting about this, and 85% toward finding ways to absolve any guys connected to island heavies.' 1 Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

What hope is there that the Koh Tao murders will be solved, right, none. The police needs to go through a total change, in every way and especially in terms of personnel. They should fire ALL of them and rehire a few, like other countries successfully have done. Local Thais I know have no respect for the police. They respect the army a lot but not the police at all who are seen as a group of criminals with no pride, but even they have been shocked how bad things are in the police after recent events. 2 Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Popular Post boomerangutang Posted September 27, 2014 Popular Post Share Posted September 27, 2014 How does he know no murders will take place in December?It's a patriarchal society. Think; 'father knows, so don't question him.' I don't understand why they only "believe" that the suspects live or work in the area. If they know who the suspects are, they know where they work and live. On the other hand, if they don't actually have specific people in mind when they say "suspects", they're just blowing smoke again. Of course what they should do, is at least detain top suspects. But because of the obscene subjectivity rife in Thailand, they don't want to detain anyone connected to the Big Shot families on the island. Authorities don't need to be 100% sure in order to detain a suspect. The other side of the coin, particularly with all these ill-advised press releases, is the real culprits will do a runner, which is easily done here in LOS. It's almost as if they're giving coded messages to the murderers about how to avoid capture and/or when to go AWOL. 3 Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
