Koh Tao Murders: Thai Authorities Deny 'Scapegoat' Allegation

[ParadiseLost]

Personally I think there is a bit of an overestimation regarding what people on KT 'know'. In this context knowing can only mean two things - they were eye witnesses, or someone confessed doing something to them, personally.

The rest who 'know', know as much as you and I. Unless you really do 'know' something I don't?

[Patsycat]

Why doesn't Sean come forward and say something to the Press - get in touch with the guy from the Telegraph? It's not like he's going to be welcome back there in the very near future to continue his "hippy" lifestyle, is it? His comments on the net are ridiculous as is his music. No X Factor winner there.

Did he really know David? or just met him a couple of times in the Uni bar? If a good friend of mine had flown half way around the world to see me - i would not have been asleep at the meeting time.

If any member of Sean's family is reading these threads - they should also speak up. His sister seems to know him the best, can she sit there in silence too?

Or is Sean just an attention seeker, who had run out of money and wanted a quick ticket home? Not realising the what was going to happen in the weeks following his little hissy fit. He should be ashamed of himself.

you dont think that little hissy fit you just wrote on a public forum isnt attention seeking? in any case Sean has said something, you probably will be disappointed tho because he didnt admit to the murders, do a google search because the link isnt aloud here

Pardon? I don't quite understand what you are saying. I thought everyone was allowed their point of view. If you don't like mine then so be it. I wasn't wanting Sean to admit to the murders, just to open his mouth and tell the truth whether or not what he said three weeks ago is true or just a figment of his imagination.

He has been hiding in the shadows through all of this, after internationally "screaming" for help and some people would find that a bit strange. I hope he is well and healthy.

That's all.

Sean that statement to me sounds like you have been told and or paid to basically say nothing. If that's all you know then y is David your hero... Sorry mate you implicated yourself when you were scared for your life and now........ Simply doesn't add up. Everyone new they would blame Burmese. <deleted>. How did u know that. Y would u say that. Tell us more about this date rape stuff that some posters have suggested your involved in. Y mention Nomsod at all. Its a small island he was either there or he wasn't. Y not just say "I never saw him" but u don't know, hmmmm that just doesn't sound right. Sorry Sean if that's the best u have best say nothing.

[MikePhuket1970]

I really hate to see something is not right can prevail so here again:

It would be so easy to save the reputation for thailand and authorities

-release all cctv recordings from the crime night

-take DNA from Nomsod by an independence investigation group

It would be so easy to stop all speculations and outcry

Its so simple,isn´t it ?

[SteveFong]

Sean's post on facebook was the most revealing,

He knows that David tried to save her

In the US court system, that would be an exception to the hearsay laws, as it is known an an "excited utterance"

he blurted out the truth, and now that he has come down,

he is truly in fear for his life and freedom,

he won't talk more, you can be sure of it

Agreed and as he stated he has spoken 'to a reporter' maybe he is being paid to keep quiet?

Maybe Sky News can enlighten us as that was the organisation he appealed for help from.

Further the allegations now being made against him will probably encourage him to say nothing.

The latest statement where he says he did not know if the son was on the island beggars belief, they are supposedly friends and the island has just 2000 inhabitants ( plus the Burmese workers).

Difficult not to run into people unless you 'sleep in' as is claimed.

I have a feeling that this lowlife id up to his neck in it.

Just an opinion based on the speculation and unfounded accusations of others allegations of others and tempered with common sense.

[SteveFong]

common sense and the picture of that dude waiting for him in the doorway of the convenience store,

Sean looked like he had seen a ghost,

his own

[Tazwa]

Just wondering; Sean posted to Facebook, "owner of AC Bar did it," when he was in the convenience store.

Has anyone seen what preceded this post? I have never seen screen shots of what came before this post.

Maybe someone asked, "Who killed David?" but they could have asked, "Who cut your arm?" or "Who farted?"

What do you think preceded his post?

Sean finally responded

I don't know if Nom's son was on the island. Genuinely. But I've spoken to a journalist today to give all the information I have to them. Including the fact that Burmese guys were always expected to be blamed. It's not much. I think you expect I know more than I do, but it's everything I have. Also, information has came forward about the guy who "fell" to his death on Tao last year, so I expect the newspapers in the UK won't let this rest. I hope it's enough to save the 2 guys from Myanmar. I can't do any more.

\

Spoken to a Journalist, so we can expect a story, he hasn't said much in the above.

[Johnsen]

Here's food for thought. I think most of us would agree Seans comments don't add up. He certainly has to me what appears to b a knife wound on his arm... Maybe just maybe he is part of tactic to lead the investigation away from true justice. Confuse the story more so to speak. The islanders are saying Worat did it. He sort of suggests the owner of AC bar did it... They r going to kill me. I don't buy that anymore... If they wanted him dead he's dead already and the CCTV footage would b cleared again. Who simply peers in through a window for the perfect photo op if you really want to kill someone. Who thinks to post perfect statements on FB if you are running for your life. There is even perfect photos of the AC bar owner recording him on Facebook in the shop taken by someone else. That is staged right there. Then he called the police. No way that was a policemen chasing him. Y would you call one of his mates. Bullshit. Then being escorted of the island by British journalists. Absolute plan. He will now tell them BS because we think he saw something and maybe because of all this we will start to believe his lies. No f'ing way. We need to go over this again. R there not pictures of him partying the next night.. What worker helped wipe blood off him. Y would u not clean your guitar. Why would he be stopped again in BKK. That's just to .make the story more believable. This is an attempt to divert the course of justice. Now suddenly he is somewhere that has limited internet access yet he can upload songs no problem but can't talk about what happened. No way. I am convinced now Sean you were there and saw everything. You full of shit little bastard. This is the islands cover up story. Not a bad one either. Is it the BBC he ran to. Surely they aren't in this up to their eyeballs as well. You need to take a lie detector test. I have said this before and I will say it again. You and Worat and one of his mates did this. Now you running for your life is nonsense. Now you don't know anything. We all need to start focusing on this guy, not to listen to him but to uncover what he was up to. I want to c footage of you running for your life. Did it begin with a smile and a handshake. There hasto be footage of you and worat together. We need footage from days before the murder... Lie detector you little prick. The island is now covering for you also. There is no doubt in my mind now...

Interesting theory, but I don't think the KT authorities or Rulers are capable of or interested in such subterfuge, just stick to the plan and see the Myanmar 2 burn for this. they have approval from above.

Agree, that this Sean is a vital link to the truth of this case.

[Johnsen]

I simply have to write more. Them being recorded saying you have blood on your hands. These guys are killers and you think the shop and camera in there stopped them coming inside... What a joke. Look how perfect his photo is of those 2. Couldn't b better. That's taken in panic. Look at the one taken of him. Not hiding just cruising down the aisle. We must get into main stream media that this is all a staged set up. His whole story needs to be hosed down and given no credibility before it is even printed. Where r u. Who is paying for you to eat. Who is paying the hotel bill. Its all lies people and staged and the world needs to know this. WE NEED TO GET THE HEADING OUT THERE KOH TOA STAGES STORY TO DIVERT THE TRUTH. Somebody get the CSI LA Facebook page to run with that. Your guilty mate... Guilty guilty guilty.

According to his StarNow profile his acting experience is limited to "Unpaid speaking roles". Personaly I don't think he is all that good. http://www.starnow.ca/seanmcanna

On the subject of the two young men that have been arrested I wonder if they were accidental witnesses to what took place as the location where they were allegedly playing the guitar and drinking their one bottle of beer each [they only purchased three] was not far from the scene. jmo

Sorry to quote this drivel again, but I had to.

I am all for getting the RTP and justice here, but you are just talking out of your backside.

It would have been a ridiculously elaborate plan if what you say is true, stuff you only see in movies.

[StealthEnergiser]

The guy at CSILA is really putting a big effort in to find the truth out he deserves respect he is now working with Chris who created the Deadliest Warrior Ballistic Dummies in L.A tv series to carry out more tests etc should be interesting.

Yes, hope he keeps it on the boil, media intyerest has waned, no more headlines... YET!

[greenchair]

As I said already, I don't know how the wounds look from someone killed by a hoe, do you ?

I don't know either. But a small tap from that heavy metal would no doubt leave more damage than a small cut.

A hard hit from the handle would not make precise cuts either.

David bless him died a horrible death, but not by the hoe.

A very good re-enactment of Davids wounds using a model is on that spacebook page, the link is to a Thai news programme so cant link from here.

Worth a look, really.

David was executed by a soldier's moves
