Popular Post Fatty123 Posted October 24, 2014 Popular Post Share Posted October 24, 2014 (edited) some heavy accusations being made elsewhere Where? Give us a clue? Have a look at Andy Hall on twitter Some heavy accusations indeed. Being threatened with being burned alive would make me admit that my real name is Donald Duck and that I live on Saturn with my pet Ewok, Ronald. Still, they are only accusations. I personally think the two lads are innocent (probably anyway), but I'm reserving judgement until we hear what Scotland Yard has to say (no i don't fully trust the RTP, sorry).

JohnThailandJohn Posted October 24, 2014 Share Posted October 24, 2014 (edited) Looks like no comments from the parents on their son's DNA matching the semen found in one of the victims. Also no comments about how they may have been forced to participate by a rich Thai. Let it go to trial ... they have lots of lawyers and groups looking out for them as well as media who have put the case under a microscope.

englishoak Posted October 24, 2014 Share Posted October 24, 2014 “The police also threatened to tie the two boys to a tire, pour petrol on it, and set it alight," Some serious claim that. could be true could be just rumours, none of it good for the image, but hey I cant say im surprised. Far as im concerned the RTP are experiencing what is known as Karma ... What goes around, comes around n all that. Som nom naaaa. 2 Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Popular Post ScubaPhuket Posted October 24, 2014 Popular Post Share Posted October 24, 2014 As long as martial law or bribes don't get in the way this should see a few police officers brought up on charges by the DPP after the trial. Threatening to hack their arms & legs off & burn them alive? I already knew they were bad but now I'm gaining a whole new perspective. Al Capone... the Kray twins.. Jack the Ripper... Amateurs compared to this bunch. Really makes you wonder how many times this has happened in the past, how many innocents make up the 300k strong thai prison population & how many murderers are walking the streets. 10 Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

jayjayjayjay Posted October 24, 2014 Share Posted October 24, 2014 Wow. The invisible people become visible. I get the feeling this won't end well. I am afraid emotions are running to high in defense of these guys incarcerated. For sure Andy Hall and his followers can help finance a defence, but in the end if they are guilty then they should stop this Thailand bashing.

Popular Post jayjayjayjay Posted October 24, 2014 Popular Post Share Posted October 24, 2014 We want the truth!! Until then... BOYCOT KOH TAO! A completely stupid post. If they are guitly what will you say then. "Oh people I was wrong, my appologies to all the good operaters of guest houses and hotels for the last twenty years, my bad". Social media is faceless and yet powerful. For sure pressure the BIB, but I think it's pretty pathetic to add salt to the wounds of innocent business owners and operators surely suffering in the shadow of this horid event. 8 Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

"Looks like no comments from the parents on their son's DNA matching the semen found in one of the victims" Welcome back JTJ. Nice piece of deflection above. Do you believe that two young Myanmese migrant workers and/or their parents are well versed in issues such as DNA matching and what it means? 12 Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Fatty123 Posted October 24, 2014 Share Posted October 24, 2014 Rumours are just that. Rumours. Seeing as we haven't even rumoured a source for these rumours . . . As for another rumor - CSI LA states little Nomsod is planning to do a runner. Rumour is that he's booked a flight to Sydney, Australia on Sunday. I reckon it's total BS. The Aussies can refuse anyone entry and are known to be pretty fussy at Immigration/Border control. Even though he's not guilty in the eyes of the law (or even charged) with anything, doing a 'runner' would sound alarm bells at any border atm. If he does a runner it will be in the boot of a pick up (Cambodia/Laos etc) and he'll end up with a new identity (fake passport etc)with a shed load of cash to see him through. Either that, or he'll go to South America as they tend to ignore extradition requests (if the criminal has enough cash). Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
