hobz Posted October 19, 2014 Share Posted October 19, 2014 Uk police should compare their dna samples with those of the scapegoats parent. They should be able to do that without setting foot on Thailand. If they dont have their own dna samples from the victims bodies all their work will be pointless anyway.

ffaarraanngg Posted October 19, 2014 Share Posted October 19, 2014 I presume this is an attempto defuse the situation without giving any real concessions. The Welsh police who came out twice to assist Thai police in the investigation into the rape and murder of Kirsty Jones were stonewalled by Thai police and could not do their jobs effectively. The Saudis have got nowhere in investigating and pursuing justice for the murders of their nationals and recently withdrew their charge d'affairs again when one of the alleged murderers was appointed to the NLA. Thailand has put up a total ban on exporting labour to Saudi and a permanent downgrade in diploatic relations rather deliver justice for the murdered Saudis, not to mention the failure to return the most valuable pieces of the stolen jewellery. Another issue is that the Thai police investigation is already finished and the case is with the prosecutor. Thai police may just tell their British counterparts that there is no more investigation for them to observe but they can attend the court hearings once every two or three months and spend the rest of their time on the beaches and in the bars and massage parlours. What may be critical though is the extent to which British police are able and willing to investigate the evidence they have in the UK, incluing interviewing witnesses and, of course, verifying the DNA test results. If Thai police are as confident as they claim in their work, they should absolutely welcome British police confirming their findings and boosting their credibility. Difference between this one and Kirstys murder is that social media is informing millions of people of what looks like a blatant cover up. A lot of the evidence is out there thanks to CSI and incompetent policing. 1 Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Bleacher Bum East Posted October 19, 2014 Share Posted October 19, 2014 (edited) BBEast 10/10 for your effort and explanation and I wish it were true. Put simply it won't effect the people of Thailand at all.... Nada, zilch nothing... There are several reasons, one being that human nature is what it is. People will forget and return to Thailand. Unfortunately you are only quoting British numbers. How many non English speaking nations due you think know about this incident. Then ask yourself what percentage of Russian and Chinese citizens have ever travelled abroad. Go find out.... Then ask yourself if these minimal figures were to easily double how much damage to tourism would b done here. I wish you were right but your not. Thailand is indestructible and will be proven again to be long after this is over. They know it and have known it for a very long time. Failing that the islands elite make much of their cash by exploiting migrant workers. Those workers will never stop coming. I hate writing this and I hope your right and I'm wrong, but this merry go round that is Thailand is impossible to get off. Of course only time will tell as it already has done in the past. Johnsen I actually agree with you in many respects. The reason I focused only on British numbers was because the original post by JOC that I was replying to (both JOC's post and my reply were deleted as being "off topic") estimated the impact of the loss of all British tourists to Thailand at .2-.3% of GDP and implied if that happened the impact would be minimal. I disagreed and provided researched facts to explain why. But I do agree with you that without either an embargo (unlikely) or an elevated travel warning (possible) that makes travel here impractical for UK citizens, the drop in numbers from the UK will not be huge for the reasons you stated ... and the drop in numbers because of Koh Tao from Russia and China will be insignificant (although increasing Thai-on-Chinese violence may have a similar impact). However, any escalation by the British government (e.g.a heightened travel warning or releasing publicly information they have collected which contradicts the Thai police narrative) could have a ripple effect and the cumulative negative impact on tourist arrivals from all countries over the next year or two may then approach the numbers I quoted. Cameron and his foreign office know this, and the PM and his advisers know this (and even with increasing Chinese tourism, they cannot afford to lose a big slice of any market segment while they are care-taking a shaky economy, which they depend on being healthy for their legitimacy). I believe this gave Cameron significant leverage in getting his team's feet in the door...which is exactly the topic of this thread...and will help make their trip meaningful. People can agree or disagree with what I've said, but I don't understand how anybody could say it is irrelevant and/or should not be discussed on this thread (nice rhyme eh? The Dr. Seuss of TVC!). BTW another potential source of "off topic" leverage/reason why this deal may have been cut, is that "rule of law" is very important to many foreign investors, and any suggestion by Cameron and his FO that what is happening on Koh Tao may affect Foreign investment from the UK and other European countries may have had influence on the PM as well. The PM referred to the 20 questions he got from Cameron: maybe two of those questions were: 1) What would happen if you lost a significant amount of tourism revenues and foreign investment due to your reluctance to allow us to come to Thailand and assure transparency for our citizens, which would force us to take some action we really don't want to take? Do you think those losses would outweigh any political damage you may incur by allowing us in to assist/observe? Another "off topic" reason behind the PMs change of heart in allowing the UK team in, which will impact the investigation and court case in the future and therefore justice for the victims and families, is the relationship between the military and the police. After the acrimony of last year, the PM wants and needs the police on his side now that he is running the government, which may explain why he threw his wholehearted support behind them at the beginning of the investigation and at the time of the arrests. But he may now be realizing (in part from info passed along by the Brits) that this may have left him exposed, and is second-guessing whether it was worth it. Pure speculation I know, but it's as much of an educated guess as anything else we are reading here ... and as I explained earlier, entirely relevant to this thread. These are the kinds of considerations that hardcore diplomacy is made of, and ones that get results behind the scenes ... very unfortunately, "please do the right thing" is not.

boomerangutang Posted October 19, 2014 Share Posted October 19, 2014 The PM saying that Cameron was happy with the questions and answers, well, surely we need to know what the questions were. it could be, "Do you mind if we send some DNA experts please?"..... Thai PM, "Yes ok" etc etc etc There won't even be such featherball Q's & A's. There are going to be heaps of things that UK 'observers' won't be able to broach. They'll learn in minutes not to press on the DNA trail. Similarly, no discussion will be allowed about the headman's family possible involvement. A typical conversation will go something like this: UK: "Have you taken a close look at.... (fill in the blanks)?" THAI: "We've already looked at that. Here's what we found." UK: "Ok, thanks, but there might be some other people worth questioning." OR "perhaps we could do a test for.... (fill in the blanks)" THAI: "No need for that, because we already looked in to it." UK: "OK, sorry for doubting you." .....ad nauseum. As you can see, UK agents will get very stymied and frustrated within days, if not hours. Thais couldn't be happier, even if the UK agents pull out in a huff. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Popular Post Globeman Posted October 19, 2014 Popular Post Share Posted October 19, 2014 I'm really amazed at the reception of this news item - what the hell people - first REAL advancement to the story, and sign that the (social) media and requests/demandmends for transparency have been heard high up, and most of the comments go to Thai bashing and further conspiracy theories of how the case will evolve? What the hell people... When WILL you be satisfied of the inquiry? Are you looking for a specific outcome perhaps? Even if the investigators are ONLY allowed access to the evidence at hand, as it's still the only "concrete evidence" holding the case up(, and of which the sentencing will be based on), the processing of such evidence by a third party(the investigators) most certainly will moot a batch of issues already risen. Sometimes I just don't get what people are after, but I'd like to know what the bashers are expecting of this... I'll be satisfied with the investigation when they turn back the clock and conduct it properly from the outset. There is little potential for satisfaction in this case. Sending in the UK officers now, while laudable, considering the diplomatic nightmare that the British government has to go through when they would rather conduct 'business as usual', is locking the barn door after the horse has bolted. One "fact" I would like to see shot down - and UK investigators could do this - is the ridiculous notion that David Miller was beaten with the hoe, or some blunt object. The descriptions of his injuries have been pretty vague. If you see the leaked unblurred photos, Miller has several stab wounds (I compared them with some 'textbook' ones online) on his face and head. They are consistent with a short, wide bladed 'brass knuckle' knife (the nestles between its user's middle fingers). Whatever weapon caused them though, they are highly unlikely to have been caused by a hoe, unless the attacker hit him at exactly the same angle repeated ties in what was clearly a pretty frenzied assault - because the wounds are very consistent. And also, apologies for getting gruesome, but in the unblurred photos of Hannah Witheridge, - which I don't recommend anyone looks at, as they are the stuff of nightmares - her face is destroyed like something out of a horror movie), that is what an attack from a hoe would look like. It is also consistent with extreme anger and hatred (and/or being hopped up on some form of speed), and an attacker who was already somewhat familiar with dispensing violence on others. So let's see the UK officers start with this little discrepancy and then commence looking for the right weapon - the one used on David Miller - and who might have possessed such an item... and where it might be now. That would open a can of worms. Doubtless this will get shot down by some of the clever barstool wags who haunt these forums, accusing me of playing at being Sherlock Holmes. But those who are tempted to do so might try reading a few books on similar crimes and how the FBI approached them - psychological profiles based on the nature of the crime, meticulous matching of weapons to wounds (including angles that can indicate left or right handedness, height of the attacker, the sort of struggle the victim put up, etc.) While some of the conclusions reached in such investigations require years of experience and training, many of them also come from pretty basic observations that even a 'civilian' is capable of making. 7 Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

I agree it will probably go along these lines, and don't forget the UK investigators are now observers only, so they can only observe, they do not investigate. For example, the CCTV tapes from Bangkok will be shown, and as soon as the observers observe (or question) something out of the ordinary the RTP will brush it away as mentioned above. I am convinced however this will make things worse for the RTP as we will hear all about it all over the Social Media which will Rock the RTP House. They will find this unpleasant, however, time will kill this, people will eventually lose interest, apart from a few maybe, but these will not be noticed over time. As soon has the Burmese have been convicted or committed suicide facing life in prison or death this will slowly die out and for Nomsod & The Gang the party can go on!

Popular Post docshock13 Posted October 19, 2014 Popular Post Share Posted October 19, 2014 In a previous post before the u-turn by PM Prayuth, I speculated the military govt might be trying to break ranks with the RTP. I see now my speculation may have been wishful thinking. Further, Mrs. Shock pointed me to an interview with Khun Sondhi in which he subtly explained the triumvirate controlling Thailand now (Prayuth, Prawit and Pol. Gen. Somyot). From what was explained to me of what Sondhi said, these three are in lock step and will not break ranks. So it appears that either the original report was mistaken or the PM and his two lieutenants had not yet coordinated a united position on Scotland Yard's role in the investigation. 3 Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

GAZZPA Posted October 19, 2014 Share Posted October 19, 2014 There's something I don't really understand about this.. If the Thai government and police are absolutely adamant that they have the right guys and that all the evidence proves this then they have nothing to fear. It is not uncommon for Police in other countries to cooperate and lend a hand when necessary if they have a particular area of expertise. I am sure I heard that the US were assisting n some DNA samples early on in the investigation so the British Police helping should be no problem. If there is a serious objection siting acts against sovereignty etc then it absolutely stinks and everyone will just believe the hype that its a cover up.. So, if they are really telling the truth, let the Brits help and get it all over with. (Unless of course it isn't true) Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

As soon as the emergency became known, Indonesian cops and army (admitting they had no skills at mountain rescue), allowed British rescue teams to do everything possible to rescue the stranded climbers. The only condition, was: British experts had to take time to instruct Indonesian special forces - details about mountain rescue. Compare that with the Ko Tao double murders: Thai cops can't even admit they've botched the investigation, and they won't allow Brits to do any independent investigating AND Thai cops act like they don't need anyone to show them how to improve their paucity of investigative skills. 2 Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

DNA has to be collected correctly, sampled, tested and interpreted - I would think that the time for any of that is long gone......this is just a mistrial in progress. 3 Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Popular Post peterpaintpot Posted October 21, 2014 Popular Post Share Posted October 21, 2014 Far too many speculative posts on the threads regarding these horrific murders, leave speculation to the BiB, and remember that it is the facts that are important not rumours and hearsay. The following comment in a post is probably the most accurate comment I have read: "Why would the British Police be even bothered making statements as to what they are doing / done. You need to remember they aren't like the BIB mouthing off all day trying to justify, correct, second guess every statement, idea or theory they have or would like to have." The British police like most western forces keep their cards close to their chests, for obvious reasons, and their members are not self important idiots just seeking glory with their pictures splashed all over the media. 4 Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
