Rrrright, after a brawl with a couple of local island mafiosi Thai youngsters in a disco who sexually harrassed Hannah and who after that followed them, a foreigner stepped in for no whatsoever reason and asked two of the asian gangsters to kindly lend him a hand and please rape the poor girl for him, so the asian DNA would provide him the needed alibi so he could smash the victims skulls in with a garden hoe and get away with it, because his motive was what? Yeah, right... because that foreigner was feeling sorry for the poor mafia youngsters since they have lost face in the bar brawl, where David most likely protected Hannah from their dirty sticky fingers, and that foreigner just felt the need to put things back in perspective for the island guys and get a bit of splatter action in return!?!?

Was obvious from the very start that the true killers were influential enough to buy their way out of it, the police corrupt enough to accept the bribe, a submissive "witness" in desperate need for money waiting to magically "appear", and the patsy most likely was framed from day one onwards, travelling with a yet undetected payload in his backpack that might cost him his life. Wouldn't be surprised if some unfortunate Koh Tao backpacker will be singled out at Bkk aiport, his bags being searched and voila! Hannah's underwear and telephone magically appear right in front of hundreds of now to be witnesses, while the customs people proudly smile into the cameras, holding up the evidence of which only they knew in what hidden side pocket or cavity of the backpack to search for, because their superior told them on the phone. Think of my words, I am almost sure it will run this way or at least in a similar fashion.

After the case turning cold now, but with undeterred media interest, most human are superficial enough to just want to have some face, some person to pin it on, so they can continue with their facebook selfies and shopping and forget about the unfortunate couple, named Hannah and David, brutally killed, with their skulls and faces smashed in, raped, left half naked and without any dignity on the beach of Koh Tao... This whole sharade is so mean, cruel and so damn wrong that it makes me sick to my stomach. Justice being served, in Thailand? My #$$!

A rather perverted post removed. Please, please, show some posting restraint everyone !

Mr. General, you have lost credibility.

Really, Falang kills & not tapes beautiful Falang girl. Comon, if a Falang killed her, he also raped her. The depths Falangs have sunk to "he " wouldn't pass up a chance. So no, don't think Falang killed white Falang girl. Def Asian and I'd say Falang man came along & caught them in the act, so they killed him too. Just my opinion

they have all refused,

but someone made a good point,

the police may have been involved in the crime

That's not what this Thai news source has just reported.

http://englishnews.thaipbs.or.th/one-tourist-murder-suspect-now-arrested-another-run/

The Thai news source is reporting a another story released 23 September, 4 days old already.

Another day another dollar.

How terrible for the poor relatives, every day the story changes.

I can't imagine what it must be like for them, waking up every day hoping this is the day when something real happens.

Very sad

Ok, so the guy in pink shirt is owner of AC Bar. His brother is the guy on the left on the other photos and also the guy recorded on the CCTV photo.

How about removing the poster - permanently together with anyone else of a like frame of mind ----

They could say she was having consensual sex with 2 guys and a jealous foreigner attacked her and this was end result.?? That turns it on Its head.

Perhaps it is time for British authorities to have a word with the Thai Ambassador, and let him know in no uncertain terms that they expect a better result.

I understand your frustration but that conversation will never take place.

Nothing to be gained (no trading rights or rights to plunder natural resources of Thailand and too much effort) for the British officials vs too much superficiality and laziness on the Thai side. Nice pipe dream though...

So the THIRD man was a farang..?

That would make a great title to a movie.

The Third Man.

This would be a remake.

http://www.imdb.com/title/tt0041959/reference

friends of both deceased are key here

if they dont talk,

its over

of course they have talked, just not to the press and thaivisa yet which is how it should be

Ok, so the guy in pink shirt is owner of AC Bar. His brother is the guy on the left on the other photos and also the guy recorded on the CCTV photo.

I don't think its the same guy on the cctv, why would you even assume that?.

At the end of the day, they are releasing the news that the Thai people want to hear and to believe, it is their priority to do so. Tragic.

... my impression exactly, sir!

So the THIRD man was a farang..?

That would make a great title to a movie.

The Third Man.

I could think of a theme to go with that. Let's see....Harry........

BTW The guy running past the CCTV camera sure didn't look foreign to me.

Confused...

How do they explain the dna then?

Ok, so the guy in pink shirt is owner of AC Bar. His brother is the guy on the left on the other photos and also the guy recorded on the CCTV photo.

You forgot to mention that the AC bar owner has injured knuckles, that already started to heal in this photo. Think that was even your finding, wasn't it? Thanks for the collage, might open some posters' eyes who still are in denial...

And the "key witness" didn't come forward until now because..................

So how does that fit into the 85% completed murder case?

IMHO this "asian" DNA was a load of old cobblers thrown to the media to impress them with Thailand's DNA processing skills. They felt safe to do so because the farang suspects had all been cleared, or at least those who had their DNA tested.

http://web.mit.edu/racescience/in_media/what_dna_says_about_human/

I think so to.

To have derived such accurate answers so quickly seems very dodgy. They know they have no farang suspects. So they probably don't even have complete DNA results for much yet. And yet they keep clearing people left and right.

.they control the samples, they control the evidence. They can make up anything they like to decide who to implicate and accuse.

Thailand beach murders: Police offer reward in bid to catch killers of two Brit backpackers

http://www.mirror.co.uk/news/uk-news/thailand-beach-murders-police-offer-4332200

Which basically means, they have no idea.

The one thing that the police have established is that the semen found in the young ladies body was that of an asian. All these theories that the BIB keep coming up with are red herrings just to protect the real culprit,

This is becoming a farce. Panga is a disgrace, and his clowns on KT have done everything they can to obstruct justice. The British Foreign Office should now be advising all British Citizens to avoid travel to Koh Tao.

Enter the chief keystone cop causing Thailand to loose more face on the world stage. It is like our own home grown war criminal, Dick Cheney, telling us with his most serious face that there are WMD buried under one or more of Sadam's palaces and they just have not been found because Obama does not want them found.

I disagree about avoiding Koh Tao, they should avoid Thailand until the PM cleans up the islands, as he as promised to do, and not a day sooner.

doesn't he look happy and relieved now?

People lie, DNA doesn't.

Really, Falang kills & not tapes beautiful Falang girl. Comon, if a Falang killed her, he also raped her. The depths Falangs have sunk to "he " wouldn't pass up a chance.

Please look it up in a dictionary what the word foreigner means. A foreigner is someone who belongs to a country that is not your own.

The latest story is from Thai PBS 'the broadcaster you can trust'

It's primarily for a Thai audience (remember, we're v. much in the minority here). This is a country of people where 100% believe in ghosts and 99% believe there's power of talismans and will pay crystal ball gazers to predict their future.

... i concur, still out of 'likes' ...

Now i have always thought there was one foreigner. But I suspect the story is the other way around.

Prison for rape is a few years at best.

Prison for murder is life without parole or death.

If i was a mother i would tell my son get down to that police station now if in first catergory.

Or get down the station and lie you were in the first category as fast as you can.

How do they explain the dna then?

Like Loonodingle just wrote: "They could say she was having consensual sex with 2 guys and a jealous foreigner attacked her and this was end result.?? That turns it on Its head."

What most likely the "official" story will be. The patsy they need to apprehend in a fashion similar to my post, somewhere in public, where "evidence" magically pops up in a body and bag search. I'd bet on the airport. Best media coverage guaranteed...
