beautifulthailand99 Posted October 2, 2014 Share Posted October 2, 2014 Meanwhile back on the island it's business as usual with the Koh Tao pub crawl obviously mindful of the good General's crackdown on binge drinking and alohol promotion. https://www.facebook.com/pages/Koh-Tao-Pub-Crawl/195259667186954 Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
englishoak Posted October 2, 2014 Share Posted October 2, 2014 All the amateur, holier than thou "experts" on this site with their supposedly well informed but actually absurd and frequently racist opinions leaves me and i am sure one or two others shaking my head. What country doesnt have tricky crimes to solve, baffling murders, police struggling hard under pressure especially when the first 48 hours has elapsed. The UK does, the US does...everywhere. Why not stop your banal amateur sleuthing and let the police get on. It'll give plenty of us a break. All the new member apologists with new thai gf and their heads buried firmly in the sand of cluelessness re the police here your embarrassing yourself Why not stop showing your ignorance and go back to the bar where your a hansum man... itll give the rest of us that can think critically and for ourselves a break Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

I agree mostly with your post but the police didn't need to show off their skills so many times by announcing it in public what they expected the results to be but give you a break - you don't have to read these posts. I live in Thailand and want my wife to be safe when I'm away working so I want this crime to be solved and act as a deterrent to other people who might be considering crimes like this anywhere in Thailand.

bigjules007 Posted October 2, 2014 Share Posted October 2, 2014 Just been to CSI LA facebook page and my wife translated that even the Thais are saying that this is a fit up and that the investigating police force are close friends with the village chief and they have business interests together, also many people commenting that the residents all know who it is but can not come forward because they sre all scared to do so.

smedly 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. similar thoughts but TBH - the constant release of confusing information these last two weeks or so make it very difficult to follow the events and investigation, police should have an expert press department and only they are allowed to approve or release information to the media in such hi profile cases, it would not surprise me if there was no DNA match to the crime scene or if there was could it be trusted Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
apalink_thailand Posted October 2, 2014 Share Posted October 2, 2014 So let me get this straight. A Burmese bartender has finished his shift on an idealic island beach, wanders off with his guitar and hoe to play some music under the stars, sees a couple engaging in coitus, decides to interuptus, smash the bloke In the back of the head with his hoe so that he can have a turn, then calmly smashes the woman's skull in and gives her a good raping. Then toddles off home. Makes perfect sense to me. Hang him high. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
SaamBaht Posted October 2, 2014 Share Posted October 2, 2014 It might have been a better idea to have waited until the DNA results came in before spilling on the confession. Just sayin. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Heisenberg01 Posted October 2, 2014 Share Posted October 2, 2014 And still no islanders willing to comment? I t sure would be refreshing to see a poster make a post and admit to being on Tao.

choff56 Posted October 2, 2014 Share Posted October 2, 2014 B o y c o t t --- K o. T a o Hannah Witheridge and David Miller deserve real justice. We shall never forget this unjust, corrupt case and we all know who did this. Until Mon and Worat are behind bars we shall forever boycott your gangster run island. One thing bothers me with the Mon / Worat thing .. everyone wonders why they didn't give DNA .. But my question is this.. IF the police are so corrupt as everyone here seems to think (including myself) . why did they not simply fake his dna test? It would have made it look way better.. right? it doesn't make sense from any perspective... Because Mon and Worat know that they are above the law and by doing so it would be an extreme "loss of face". This is Thai cockiness in it's purest form.

Hannah's friend Lucy said that David was 'smitten' with Hannah and David had told his friend Chris he was going out to get cigarettes when another friend revealed he was actually going out to meet up with Hannah and Emma. So i think it is pretty obvious they were having sex, hence why David was naked apart from his left shoe. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

oldsailor35 Posted October 2, 2014 Share Posted October 2, 2014 Semen was found and a cigarette was found. If both proved to be his we can conclude he is the guy. Here you are Win, just "bash the bishop" into this bottle, we need a genuine semen sample for DNA. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
andyIslandMan Posted October 2, 2014 Share Posted October 2, 2014 I'm friends with some people still on Koh Tao, long term expats and I have just seen that that also believe the same as most in this thread - this is a really appalling attempt to frame some Burmese so the police can try and close the case.

lingyai Posted October 2, 2014 Share Posted October 2, 2014 Its a fit up and a bunch of bull.......and so is this ...... "I know a thai person could not do these crimes." In the thirty years I've been here I've met many that could - also many Europeans, Antipodeans, Americans,Africans, Arabians all capable of perpetrating these crimes however I don't recall actually ever meeting anyone aggressive from Burma and I work with a lot of Burmese people. Clearly no Burmese person could have done this. I mean just look at the country, it is a land of milk and honey and no violence whatsoever.

dieseldave1951 Posted October 2, 2014 Share Posted October 2, 2014 "OK, Myanmar worker, here's the deal - we want this international spotlight to go away so we can go back to being lazy cops extorting money from folk - if you say you did it, we'll arrest you, it will all be for show, and then we'll pay you 100,000 baht and send you back to Myanmar where you'll be free - everybody wins, see? If you don't agree, we'll just blame it on you anyway and you'll be executed - which deal do you want?"

Another friend said there wasn't. One friend said they left together. Another friend said David was home and went out to get some fags. What I do know is that they are dead that it happened on a very small island under the noses of residents holiday makers and police. That there are numerous cameras that have captured most of the night on film residents that are afraid to talk and people skipping off the island or going into hiding. Most people are made to give DNA and others have a choice. And yet it's a couple of Burmese workers. Kay then. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
