Nowadays any murders will be blamed on illegal burmies. At the very least they will be publicized to show the world how bad burmy are and to make their case in kho tao wore feasable

One day the Burmese will feel it's safe and worthwhile returning to work back home. At that point much of Thailand will shutdown. Then the police will need new stool pigeons. Though in this case they probably are on the right track

Whenever I see a headline like this nowadays, I really question if it's a frameup.

Wonder if this thread will get as much as a run as koh Tao?

Man killing anyone over 700 baht I presume and then two kids 9 and 3 years old is just sickening .

If the story is true you really have kids killing kids.

Bloody 16 years old!

Mind boggling .

true or not-this is a horrible crime!

R.I.P. such a waste of life for 700<deleted>bucks.

With the RTP reputation in tatters any media news about how well and what a good job we are doing leaves me thinking that if B/S was penny a pound all the RTP would be rich , like the boy who cried wolf, can you believe it , with doubts like this the RTP brand is totally damaged, like the <deleted> banks.

....if you are a Brit, you will remember the James Bulger case!?

Thais seem to have so much crime involving "foreigners." Thais are rarely if ever apprehended, arrested, charged, or prosecuted. In the few isolated cases where there is a specific Thai perpetrator, like the Ferrari cop killing hit and run, nothing is ever followed up or done. So Thais seem very willing to live with crime, killing, scams, robberies, hustles, cons among themselves. Thais should rid the country of all foreigners, never deal with the outside world and be happy forever after.

I wonder if "due process" took place there? ...or does anybody care???

No Aussie mate but that got plenty of headlines and it was just repulsive .

Doesn't it seem the roles are reversed in Thailand? The police chase foreigners and the army concentrates on Thai citizens?

Need a sleuth to solve a crime? Scotland Yard? FBI? Sherlock Homes? Forget it!!!!

In Thailand you only need to find a Burmese worker. Case solved.

if asked hard enough he would have confessed to be Bin Laden.....

"confessed during police interrogation" has a very bad sound for me.....

Give it a break guys!!

3 persons brutally murdered, police doing their job and you are turning this into yet another Thai-bashing thread!!

So according to you all Myanmar suspects in any crime should forever be protected because of the screw up at Koh Tao??

The really sad thing here is, that the murder of this young family don't get any media-attention, no 10 concurrently running theads on Thaivisa, the RIP-brigade stays home. Why?? Could it have something to do with, that the victims were "only" Burmese and not white??

i want nothing more than all burmese to return home to build their country. being the obvious back bone in the thai economy, construction workers, builders, farmers, shop assistant... they are looked down because of something that happened hundreds of years ago. thailand does not deserve their assistance. as a thai, i am insulted at the way we treat them. maybe someone will one day pull a Moses on thailand with the burmese...

Prison is for the poor (Thais) in Thailand. At least that's how it seems!

If I was looking at a credible source, Thailand has triple the prison population of the UK.

....whoever did it.....

.....there is something very wrong in their brains......hearts.....souls........

I think it's only natural that after the Koh Tao investigation, which many believe to be bungled, a frame up, incompetent, call it what you will, then doubts arise in any subsequent case that bears any similarities at all, even if it is just that the suspect is a Myanmar national.

Many people have believed the BIB to be corrupt for ever and a day, but the Koh Tao case has raised it up and smacked everybody in the face. Makes it hard to ignore really and even harder to believe anything that the BIB say.

If they suffer from a lack of public confidence, they have only themselves to blame.

At least in this case the suspect (supposedly) led police to where the murder weapons were hidden. This does point to their guilt.

Yes, but maybe the police led that boy to the weapons..? just a thought..!

I could play the devil's advocate and argue that maybe the murder weapons were planted and the suspects then "directed" as to where to point. There were some suggestions of such a practice in the KT case.

Did a Rohingyaese Roti seller do the official translating?

Awful story, very sad for the family of the deceased.

The problem us that BIB have zero credibility now, and with recent events I don't believe anything they got to say.

Quite possibly

any credibility the police may have had is now lost - even a claim as banal as this has to be regarded as suspect.

I teach my son everyday, when you lie even once, then tell the truth a thousand times. " nobody Will believe you" . Perhaps this case needs a looking at on csi also.
