Not nice to hear of this. Opportunity for Thai police to see how an investigation is properly run.

I don't know if this is a murder case or an accident.

Have to wait for the outcome of the investigation.

What worries me that this will be picked up by the Thai media and social network and used as a retaliation to the Kho Tao murders.

RIP Thai Lady.

Will they be able to fit up some Eastern European stooges for this??

Very sad, hopefully the police will apprehend the perp quickly

Apparently the above poster could care a less about this woman's death except how it relates to the British couple.

Yet he and many others here swear they are not bigoted.

My condolences to the woman's family.

Starting with you.

And the first post here...

I am confident that there will be a quick and thorough investigation. I would imagine that Mr Hobbs is already co-operating with the police or has an arrest warrant issued in his name. I doubt we'll try to pretend it could have never have been a Brit!

RIP... Do they illegal Burmese immigrant workers in Scotland?

You obviously didnt read the rest beford you went on the defence of your BIB heroes. Whst part of "very sad..." dont you understand?

Do you know what bigot actually means?

Can you even slighlty imagine this scenario taking place about this case. ?

"Oh it wasnee anybody kill her eh Jimmy? It was either a suicide or mibee at wara one of them albiniuns, ya ken ?? Nae way 'twourra been a Scottish guy, Nae way."

Very Sad story to hear.

But, the only positive is that this poor woman's death, investigatiion reporting etc will be reported and handled with the dignity she deserves, whether a British national or not, as will the arrest or detention of any perpertrators, ( IF THERE ARE ANY), also be fair and transparent in a way that Thai police will never be able to comprehend.

RIP Khun Anguay Hobbs

Did you know her personally then ? I mean if you are going to offer condolences for everyone that dies in the world you could end up being a professional mourner. It is a piece of news, nothing else,get over it.

Why would Mr Hobbs have an arrest warrant issued in his name?

... at this time there would appear to be no suspicious circumstances

RIP.

On a separate note, time to show the RTP how real police conduct real investigations in the real world. Onwards to you boys in Scotland.

"A post mortem will take place in due course to establish the cause of her death; however, at this time there would appear to be no suspicious circumstances."

Despite those words in the article, the conspiracy theorists are starting to muster and the link made to Koh Tao, this despite the fact the poor lady may have actually taken her own life, although such an outcome does interferes with the evenings entertainment, I almost expect to read at some point that someone here thinks this might be a killing in retaliation. Sad, really really sad!

Wow, hopefully there are no suspicious circumstances otherwise the world press will make this a bigger deal

RIP the Thai lady.

"A post mortem will take place in due course to establish the cause of her death; however, at this time there would appear to be no suspicious circumstances."

oddly nobody has commented on this remark.

i can think of other circumstances where it would have fueled pages of discussion

Watch how it's done BIB.. You could pick up a thing or two from this

...the lack of details raises many questions.....

...whatever happened to......... who.........what........where....when.....why....how.......etc......

Not nice to hear of this. Opportunity for Thai police to see how an investigation is properly run.

Don't be a A Hole

My condolences to the woman's family.

why do you know them or think any of them read this forum?

I often give my condolences to people I don't know. I feel for people who have lost a loved one. I feel for people who have lost a child.

I don't feel much for internet trolls who don't have any feeling for anyone.

Stay on topic and keep your uncaring attitude to yourself.

now we will see how a murder case is properbly run! duhhhh when do you plan plan to catch jack the ripper, or another train robber escape ! or another world cup, but wait you did win wimbleton, oh he was scottish sorry

Thank God no photo of a plastic dummy floating in the river water with finger pointing by the person who found the poor lady's body and Scottish police standing around with bloated chests and wide grins.

This could seriously affect Thai tourism to Scotland. I do hope the Scottish police allow the Thai authorities to conduct their own parallel investigation, and do their own DNA testing. I read something on LA CSI or was it wikipedia or was it somewhere else. No matter it must be a conspiracy.

RIP

Well it doesn't say much for Brits if they feel no remorse or a bit of shame when one of their own murders someone.

well now tourists might have to wear electronic tags on their ankles to ensure their safety.......they'll blend right in with the locals....

Nope. Didn't know her or her family, however, my Thai wife is about that age and I couldn't help thinking of her first trip to the US and that is was a bit overwhelming for her and I think of how her own family would feel if she were reported dead half way around the world. They didn't want to her to travel so far from home.

My people, my small, rural niche of the world, we practice something called "empathy". Its in the dictionary if you are interested.

Hope Sean McAnna wasn't on the bank of the river playing his guitar?

Cöear evidence : suicide !!

Case closed ;
