AnotherOneAmerican Posted October 2, 2014 Share Posted October 2, 2014 I don't believe the confession. I don't believe the Brit guy and girl were having sex, or even together. She was dragged off and attacked, he ran to help, now that story makes sense. I believe it was a Thai related to the head man who is guilty, else why would they covered up for so long.

HeijoshinCool Posted October 2, 2014 Share Posted October 2, 2014 . Weeks of scrutiny by millions of people in every nation, and these fools have the gall to make an obviously, patently, untrue statement such as this. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
SandyFeet Posted October 2, 2014 Share Posted October 2, 2014 If they are the perps, I'm glad they've been caught. But I hope the Myanmar embassy demands confirmation of the DNA match from an independent lab. And if any good can come out of this, I hope the police can set up some policies on not spreading rumors about ongoing investigations. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Costas2008 Posted October 2, 2014 Share Posted October 2, 2014 Why don't they wait for the DNA results first, but rush to make a statement again. So many times they have been proved wrong in the past. Why should I believe them now? Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

sweatalot Posted October 2, 2014 Share Posted October 2, 2014 Considering the skill and honesty of Thai police as well as the investigation procedures they performed in (also) this case these culprits have to be considered innocent scapegoats until real police with real investigation methods and well known for not being corrupt has proven them guilty. World police make sure that Thai police does not act like criminals Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

ffaarraanngg Posted October 2, 2014 Share Posted October 2, 2014 It was a white man playing the guitar on the beach, this is what the police told us at the start. This is just going to prolong the pain for the families, 3rd world mindset in this nation where the natives are known to have a low IQ. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
