Police address criticisms over Koh Tao arrest of Myanmar suspects

[chooka]

1. Why did the police pick a Roti Street Vendor as an official translator translator? Was he trying to save some Thai tax payers' money?

2 Why did he pick a Rohingya muslim translator for Rakhine suspects?

If one of its citizens got charged for murder which is qualified for the death penalty, and the American police hire a street vendor who can speak Thai but do not like Thais. How would Thai government feel?

Professional police departments actually have a legal interpreter service where the people of been certified by the courts. We do in a Australia at least.

In a Banana Republic they use the Banana Pancake vendor (undercover in Thai police shirt and after asking (threatening) them for work permits etc. they translate what you want to hear)

From CSI LA 7 hours ago:

Quote - Someone whispered the following (by CSI Bangkok University):

"Since this crime occurred, I've been following this page and I finally decided to ask one of my friends, who is a classmate of "Nom Sod", if he is left-handed. My friend said "yes" he is. My friend also told me he thinks "Nom Sod" was one of the killers, but I couldn't believe it at that time. I didn't expect the murderer could be a close friend of my friend. But anyway, the more I talk with my friend about this, the more I think "Nom Sod" was involved in that crime. The same friend told me that on September 15th, "Nom Sod" was absent from class, but was in class on the following day (the 16th). He said he also saw scratches on "Nom Sod's" neck and arms." - Unquote

IF TRUE, this is pretty damning evidence!

The Plot thickens ................

Would be nice if the University was forced to give sworn and honest testament that he had attended class on that day given. Also, the pictures we've been shown on CCTV were verified by another impartial independent source...

But talking BS since it would never happen because who in TRP wants that kind of evidence ..........................

Would that witness statement to the police warrant a dna test?

Yes, 100% in any civilised country free of corruption .....

Yes he holds the gushing waterpipe with his left hand in his facebook picture.

Think Mon might be left handed too if that's him aiming the cameraphone on Sean in the minimart picture

I have worked with Thai Police on an exchange program and they are I×÷ons, they have no idea about basic policing.

Missing non suspect Nom Sot..

[SteveFong]

Even in their 50th explanation, they still do not tell the truth,

now it's

the male victims cell phone was recovered by the victims

NO, it wasn't

it was planted in a baggie, in bushes,

and, why the baggie?

and, whose fingerprints are on the cell phone,

or, did the tests on the fingerprints not come back from the FBI, no, the Sinagapore, no, the Chiang Mai U?

did anything get tested, anywhere?

and,

WHO was detained on that speedboat?

[phuketandsee]

BP reporting that Ambassador Kent was going to attend Pomyot's press conference on Tuesday then backed out. Something definitely has changed and now Amnesty International showing an interest. This is getting very big, very fast.

[phuketandsee]

And Daily Telegraph reporting "Foreign Office officials, who initially offered support to Thai police, now say they are "concerned" about the alleged mistreatment of the accused men".

This is not some usual "we do as we please" case. This is a horrific, heinous violent crime of the worst kind to begin with (which seems to be forgotten a bit) and then this happens to foreigners in a tourist destination... And people STILL believe "we just deal with it the usual way and it will just disappear"... !? That is what I call MEGA DUMB... Reality will catch up FAST !

The Ambassador should be VERY careful with whom to appear "side by side" in this case...

RTP case falling to pieces fast now

[BKK Blues Brother]

Thailand’s most-respected forensics specialist cast doubts on the police investigation into the death of two British backpackers on Koh Tao Thursday, saying investigators erred when they neglected to involve a forensic pathologist.

Intentional or not it remains to be seen, major face loss for RTP.

Pictures of the crime scene all over the web and a key suspect photographed walking around the crime scene with his police friend.

The tide of change is in the air!

She does need to do something with that hair though.

Someone else did something with his hair.

Pity! Mark Kent, the UK ambassador in Bangkok, is just two letters (-Cl-) away from being just what this case needs!

unfortunately it's the same everywhere, here in th just a little more so: without the fear of (or the sudden realisation that there will be) a very public backlash and/or the wallet getting hurt badly, hardly anyone in the higher echelons gives a monkey about anything...

let's hope that the UK government is not given the excuse they need to "join the club" and conveniently shuffle it under the carpet, too... It's two of their citizens having been slaughtered ... anyone cares... ???!

[SteveFong]

this is growing into an international outrage,

the thing about the internet is things expand on their own

it is

as a function of the way it works,

CSI LA on Facebook posted the video of the interview w the banana guy,

it was shared 695 times and like 4,000 more,

This is an open wound left to get infected

[Harryon]

Hannah and David were not the first Brits to die on Koh Tao this year. Nick Pearson, 25, was on a family vacation when he was found dead on New Year's day.

His parents are convinced he was murdered – and the killing covered up to protect tourism.

[SteveFong]

This case is just getting worse and worse for the people of Thailand

The exact same story is being told, over and over,

The PM will have to send in the army eventually, it is clearly a larger problem and growing
