The Investigation Into Thailand’s Backpacker Slayings Is Officially a Farce

Recommended Posts

They forgot to mention that there is at least one highly suspect individual who refuses to give a DNA sample (for what reason other than being guilty?) and whom the Thai police continues to overlook

Not knowing Thai law I am at a loss to understand why the RTP have not compelled the "...highly suspect individual..." to give a DNA sample. One would think that he has no choice in the matter.

Because he has an alibi?

which is quite arguable

Arguing over "evidence" has got to be the dumbest approach to this topic.

The REAL issue is how the Thai authorities have handled the whole affair......just read the words of the UK FO couched in diplomatic terms and you'll get an idea of what is going on......bickering over alibis or whether the hoe was blue or green is nothing more than a furphy.

Actually an alibi is important. The sheer number of theories by the armchair detectives is nuts but then again so are the statements to the press from the police.

The police should not have commented on an ongoing investigation other than to ask people with information to come forward.

Evidence of any kind is important but trying to argue about it on TV is a waste of time - amateur Sherlocks take note - the issues arising out of the handling will inevitably include handling/verification of evidence. Trying to come to the table claiming anyone is innocent or guilty again misses the point.

I've said before there are 2 types of posters on this subject - the ones who are concerned about the procedures and ramifications of the incident and the amateur Sherlocks who seem to think that arguing over evidence is in some way relevant to the issues.

" You can say whatever want because you don't have any physical presence. You never thought that your opinion will effect the work and feeling of the police. You are just a keyboard detective who has wild imagination and can't stop thinking. Since we are the police, we can take criticism. Your opinion also effects our society. In our society there are lots of people with different level intelligence. Only idiots believe what they saw on social media" Police chief.

It's great that he's not threatening people on social media but the reality in Thailand is that only idiots believe the police.

Wow, actually sounds like your having a change of heart JD!!! Finally realising that your on the losing side are you??

This is an absolute humiliation to the whole of Thailand from start to whatever the outcome we just hope that the police actually catch and punish the real perpetrator of this heinous crime murdering of the two young tourists and can give the families in the UK some closure on this whole tragic affair.

" that the police actually catch and punish the real perpetrator "

That is what the international public want.

Cannot wait to see what the British police have to really say about this shambles. I hope they can provide evidence about who the killers of these two poor are.

I think 2british coppers can do more than this lot up together.

At least the British Police may have Integrity, an hopefully a sense of fair play and Honesty, sadly lacking in the Thai police.

Another post requesting donations has been removed.

Forum rule 22) Members are forbidden to ask for or accept donations, gifts or commissions from other members, any charities must contact support for approval before joining. before joining to be approved.

We just have to keep removing these, not out of any sort of malice, just have to keep to forum rules.

Charities don't miss a trick, thank you for the protection against scammers.

To be fair I believe that this organization is run by Andy Hall, who has a lot of credibility around the region. He does a lot of work for migrant workers.

Google his name, I think he is a respected human rights activist.
