happylad Posted October 10, 2014 Share Posted October 10, 2014 Apparently as reported in the above article Hannah was also sodomized ..this is heartbreaking stuff , pack raping a young innocent woman like an animal , then cold blooded murder ...the culprits must of been under some major influence , similar to the boat driver and hiding caveman. It seems more and more dangerous for anyone to visit that island . well , i'm a travel agent and for sure i won't send anyone there . Sean Macanna knows a lot about what happened that night , lets hope he does the right thing . You cannot murder innocent people like animals and brush it under the carpet or can you simply get away with murder in Thailand 2 Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
boomerangutang Posted October 10, 2014 Share Posted October 10, 2014 Nom Sod (Thai for 'fresh milk') is the son of the headman, and should be the #1 prime suspect. However, he's not a suspect because (surprise!) ....he's the son of the VIP headman. He hasn't even submitted DNA yet (has he been asked to by cops?). Yet, with every day that passes, DNA evidence appears to be more moot, because Thai investigators can't be trusted to deal honestly with DNA evidence.However, from the 'Democracy For Burma' website, there's an interesting tidbit: Nom Sod (headman's son) is left handed, according to someone who asked a friend of Nom Sod's. That would sinc with the six or so puncture wounds to the right side of David's neck and head. Add Democracy For Burma folks to the many other web sites and concerned folks who have surmised that David's wounds were caused by a 'punch blade' type of weapon. As far as I know, Thai cops don't appear concerned about what sort of weapon was used on David. Remember OJ's lawyer (Johnny Cochran, now deceased) telling the jury during the final hours of that lengthy trial: "If the glove don't fit, you must acquit!" In the David and Hannah investigation, it's like Thai officialdom saying, "Whatever clues don't implicate the Burmese, we disregard." 2 Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
bunglebag Posted October 10, 2014 Share Posted October 10, 2014 I think Mon might be left handed also - looked like he was holding a phone in his left hand in the minimart on the night of the Sean threats. Mon, Nom Sod and Sean - inject those three with truth serum and the true events of that night would come out of one of them at least I think. 1 Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Unconvinced Posted October 10, 2014 Share Posted October 10, 2014 (edited) the view from Burma https://democracyforburma.wordpress.com/2014/09/15/update-710-thailand-2-british-tourists-been-murder-on-sairee-beach-koh-tao/ Well, I guess it's just a blog, that pesky "social media" the police and the general can't seem to fathom. But if a blog in Burma is specifying the alternative protected suspect so clearly, then it can't be long before his name and the full story of his widely-discussed escape from the island and dodgy Bangkok alibi appear in Burmese and international newspapers. Whereas all this has happened before (e.g. Chiang Mai) and the police have got away with it, the level of attention upon this disastrous botch-up and corruption is much greater. Can Thailand really get away without doing at least some of the right thing on this one? Surely they'll at least have to fess up at least one more convincing participant in the crime, even if they continue to try to protect others. By the way, CSI LA is still going strong; maybe it's just busy rather than blocked, and that's got to be good. They've got the son's university timetable and they're picking over the alibi video photos. Edited October 10, 2014 by Unconvinced 1 Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
louialive Posted October 10, 2014 Share Posted October 10, 2014 Could the DNA now being touted as unusable, badly handled a ploy so as to take the pressure off Mon because if the DNA is so bad and handled so badly whats the point in taking anymore. Just get witnesses to fit up the two guys already in prison case closed or they get released and BIB say we just don't know who did it. I hope the media etc. don't let this just go away 1 Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

englishoak Posted October 10, 2014 Share Posted October 10, 2014 (edited) Prayuth added: 'They are not the culprits yet. We will handle this case with special attention, very fairly, so that we can win the trust of Myanmar people and the international community.' This part is missing from that report, its of interest and suggests things arnt over yet, could we be seeing the beginnings of a U turn or pause for consideration in the PM as pressure mounts ? Has the penny finally dropped ? i sure hope so. Edited October 10, 2014 by englishoak 2 Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

You cannot murder innocent people like animals and brush it under the carpet or can you simply get away with murder in Thailand and what do pack animals do after they have exhausted themselves after a frenzied kill? they go to a cave, to rest and hide eventually, this is coming out, as the RTP was depending on having the Burmese commit suicide by pleading guilty and closing the case, but the international uproar has stopped that plan Dead ON Arrival and there is a crisis brewing in Thailand, as, this may lead to an ASEAN withdrawal 2 Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

mehoo Posted October 11, 2014 Share Posted October 11, 2014 Q. was fingerprints taken on the phone found by the police near where the 2 accused lived ? surely standard police procedure would be to examine all recovered evidence for fingerprints, after all this phone found by the police is one of the major parts of the evidence they say they have against the accused. I find it rather odd that there has not been any mention of any fingerprinting being undertaken on either or any of these phones. ( 1 . found at the crime scene 2 . the one conveniently found by the police during a search of the suspects living quarters. 1 Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

I think the problem with the phone issue, is that the police stated they had recovered David's phone at the scene in an effort to show they were not robbed, the case is getting old now to remember every single police statement, but I thought that was one of them Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Popular Post ParadiseLost Posted October 11, 2014 Popular Post Share Posted October 11, 2014 How about offering a reward for a photograph showing Sean McAnna with/without the stab wounds, taken between 9 September and 15 September? After all he has stated that many people saw him. So, he worked in Karma bar, hung out at all the classy establishments and loved to be in the spotlight - not a terribly difficult thing to imagine someone, somewhere has one. Prove someone is lying and the house of cards could collapse. 3 Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

T_Dog Posted October 11, 2014 Share Posted October 11, 2014 That Nation article is good as the situation is indeed a time bomb for Thailand. At some point, the clouds will clear as someone will come forward with crucial information. Then people will wonder how some island thugs, rich or not, were able to control the police and other governmental agencies so effectively. So far everyone is "staying the course", but the island murmurs are strong and most Thai nationals know the score. http://nationmultimedia.com/opinion/Koh-Tao-case-a-time-bomb-for-Thailands-reputation-30245085.html Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
