jollyhangmon Posted September 27, 2014 Share Posted September 27, 2014 "The district chief also vowed that no murders would take place during high season in December, when visitors flock to Koh Tao, Koh Samui and Koh Pha-ngan"... We have spoken to the people involved in this murder and they guarantee they won't kill anyone else during high season. This was a strict condition of accepting the bribes. ... yes, this one is guaranteed then, until further notice; About all the other scams and ripp-offs, well now, slow down a bit, now you reaching for the skies - y'all should be satisfied with not necessarily beeing raped & slaughtered while sitting at a beach & sticking your toes into the water ...

transam Posted September 27, 2014 Share Posted September 27, 2014 1. "The police investigation into the murder of two British backpackers on Koh Tao, off the coast of Surat Thani, is 85 per cent complete, a police commander said yesterday" 2. "The district chief also vowed that no murders would take place during high season in December, when visitors flock to Koh Tao, Koh Samui and Koh Pha-ngan for Full Moon Parties and the New Year countdown, thanks to heightened security and the suppression of vice" I am asking for help here, or rather understanding. Could someone please explain to me, preferably in layman terms, why people in authority in this country are determined to put themselves in positions of no-return by making ridiculous statements like the examples above? 1. Without knowing the final result, and without the inclusion of any more twists, how can anyone predict a percentage on a problem? 2. I have no words to describe this. Even with everyone having personal protection, sh!t happens. Granted, I have only been living in this country for the last 17 years, and self-admittedly am still coming to terms in certain areas of what is normal here, I would appreciate muchly if someone could explain these thought processes. Thanks in Advance.............................. Because talking BS is an accepted way of doing stuff in LOS. Plus folk do not think before opening their mouth, bit like LOS driving, do something daft then try and sort the mistake, and that is nationwide. 2 Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Runamile Posted September 27, 2014 Share Posted September 27, 2014 Sorry guys. I've been a bit slow on the uptake. Truth is that the investigation is 85% complete because there's still 15% of the tea money to be paid. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

heyexile Posted September 27, 2014 Share Posted September 27, 2014 "Koh Tao murder probe 85% complete: Panya" urgently update it's now 86% Johnathan Head (BBC SE Asia) tweeted yesterday quoting Panya saying RTP REGION 8 HAVE NO FUNDING TO COMPLETE DNA TESTING. He also tweeted quoting Panya that 179 DNA samples have been sent to Bangkok (yes, BKK) plus a further 33 still to be sent. Each test costs B 5,000. 179+33=212 85% of 212 is near enough 179. Perhaps that is what Panya or whoever are basing their not too bright statements on. Total cost for 212 tests at 5,000 ea about Bt 1m. Plenty of funding available for Region 8 to move sunbeds available. Plenty of funding for EC urgent study trips to Scotland. Where does their funding come from? No prizes for guessing who is currently Supreme Commander of the Police. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
lucaswallachia Posted September 27, 2014 Share Posted September 27, 2014 After reading various news articles and comments I have come to reconize that many of the foreigners here on TV that make comments are doing so without seeing another side of the news reports and comments that are written in Thai. I'm not really sure why that is but the Thai folks seem to know about things days before the foreigner. Example: I have read many times about the CCTV picture that captured the Thai running and only wearing shorts. One story I read said that this Thai man was wearing David's (the victim's) shorts. And that this Thai person must have mistakenly put on the victim's shorts and left his shorts there on the beach. Then written in Thai, the news said that this Thai guy's name in Mon, and the reason that he is running is because since the murders occurred around his area he was made aware of it by the police. He apparently quickly hurried to put only his shorts on and ran to the crime scene to see what happened. Another example: Sean, the guy that quickly attempted to get off the island and fly back to his country because he felt threatened. His story seemed very solid, even taking photos. Most foreigners that read about Sean believed him and then began focusing on the two Thai guys (Mon and the other guy which is a policeman). Written and reported in Thai provided so much more and different information about Sean. The story about the two Thai men were much different than what Sean had portrayed. The Thai news suggests that they have witnesses that not only saw Sean with Blood all over him the night of the murder but they actually helps him clean-up himself. When questioned by locals that helped Sean, he said that he had been in a motorbike accident. Another story suggested that he told someone that he was in a fight with someone. There has been a lot of focus on Sean. Based on what has been reported in Thai, there are many suggesting that Sean was involved in this gruesome murder. There is much more that was written in Thai. My only point is that if many of the TV members were aware of many of the stories that have been written in Thai, I think that many of the comments, opinions and anger would be directly somewhat differently. The only thing that I can suggest is that most should try to refrain from making comments where they are so sure of what took place. There has been so much about the headsman and these Thai guys. So many have gone way out there on a limb stating that they are so corrupt and that they are the guilty ones. I think very soon within the next couple days or so, more information that was written in Thai will start to be filtered in a way that will be better written and understood by the TV community. For those that believe that the two or three Thai guys working at AC's bar/club carried out the murder, and are totally guilty, and that it will all be covered up by the authorities, will have a hard pill to swallow when later they catch-up on the news that most all Thai's know about days in advance. Just understand that when you hear what evidence they have, know that it was already reported in Thai before you becomes aware of it. Also don't be surprised if the focus of attention turns to Sean. There is still much to be said because many fingers point to him. Well we know Sean said he was supposed to meet up with David that night but fell asleep so if he had blood on him we need to know what time that was because if it was in the early hours then obviously that doesnt match up with him saying he was sleeping at the time.

She doesn't want to prolong the hurt she and her family have to deal with. She said that she knows David went to Thailand with his gay friend (indicating that David was gay).

Harsh comment's, really harsh...and then finally, after Sean run away they accused him.... The good side on FB people post and think nobody remember!. I give you a clue; the day when Sean run away a guy make so angry comments , like " we should killed him before"...etc. Somebody need a link to my observation?...

Yes, there are a lot of Thai fingers pointing at Sean because they probably prefer a farang was involved. The DNA points at an Asian/s being involved. A gruesome murder like this requires a motive that I don't believe Sean had. He spoke highly of David in his interview. As for Sean being covered in blood and requiring assistance to have it cleaned off- if you murdered someone, would you go and ask someone to clean the blood off your body? I believe this was fabricated/trumped up by the people involved. 3 Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

You speak Thai? and, you read Thai? tell us then why did they report in English that Mon was running away FROM the crime scene in the shorts of the dead tourist then??? and, why was Mon, if that is who it is, walking back and forth, pacing the crime scene area? was it perhaps because the rape and murder was taking place, and he was making sure no one could hear the screams?

Rimbuman Posted September 27, 2014 Share Posted September 27, 2014 One thing concerns me about this case. How come the Scottish guy Sean and the other friends of the deceased, who have already left the island, either not come out and made public announcements about what happened with the alleged confrontations in the bar. Why have none of the investigative journalists who were originally involved on the island, not sought these people out to get their side of the story? Its as though they have been warned off by the British Embassy not to stick the fly in the ointment11 Surely somebody who was with the deceased before their untimely deaths, would have valuable info? Why no newspaper interviews? Why has it all gone quiet from these journalists who were there and for sure know what the majority of people on this board suspect to be true. Yet day after day more ridiculous and sublime statements are coming from the Police which are completely unchallenged. Exactly the kind of questions that are going around with many of us, it's only two weeks since the murders now, lets wait and see. 1 Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Popular Post inutil Posted September 27, 2014 Popular Post Share Posted September 27, 2014 (edited) Well lets get rid of one of the claims immediately as a fabrication: And that this Thai person must have mistakenly put on the victim's shorts and left his shorts there on the beach. Then written in Thai, the news said that this Thai guy's name in Mon, and the reason that he is running is because since the murders occurred around his area he was made aware of it by the police. He apparently quickly hurried to put only his shorts on and ran to the crime scene to see what happened Sorry, i shouldnt have stated times. Here, let yourself be the judge: What time was the man captured running "to the scene of the crime"? What time was the crime scene discovered? Memory suggests that the CCTV footage was at night. (3.44am) The discovery was during the early hours of the day (6,30am apparently) Police said Miss Witheridge and Mr Miller could be seen on CCTV leaving a bar together at around 1am before walking onto the beach. Their bodies were discovered just a few yards apart at around 6.30am yesterday and some of their clothing was found nearby.

I too have seen the Thai version and other than conjecture amplified and hearsay stated as fact, there is no difference. The only thing I can agree with is that Sean knows more..

I think very soon within the next couple days or so, more information that was written in Thai will start to be filtered in a way that will be better written and understood by the TV community. For those that believe that the two or three Thai guys working at AC's bar/club carried out the murder, and are totally guilty, and that it will all be covered up by the authorities, will have a hard pill to swallow when later they catch-up on the news that most all Thai's know about days in advance. Just understand that when you hear what evidence they have, know that it was already reported in Thai before you becomes aware of it. Also don't be surprised if the focus of attention turns to Sean. There is still much to be said because many fingers point to him. Very well described, I agree completely, casual tourists, conspiracy theorists and similar should keep their views on this subject to themselves rather than trying to garner support for what they think may be the final outcome.

inutil Posted September 27, 2014 Share Posted September 27, 2014 (edited) A further question: Sean is neither an mma cage fighter or an octopus. How could he subdue TWO people (one of them very much bigger than him), without either of the other two raising an alarm or attempting to flee? Oh yeah and er, that whole DNA thing...
