Borzandy Posted October 25, 2014 Share Posted October 25, 2014 Parents say their sons are innocent but beaten to confess, but the arrogant, corrupted Thais policemen, sure of their impunity don’t care about the Myanmar parents thought. 2 Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
smedly Posted October 25, 2014 Share Posted October 25, 2014 The world is watching. What's the next move for the rtp? prove beyond any measure of doubt that the DNA matches - that is of course if they still have the original samples that were taken from the bodies which personally I have my doubts, The DNA will also point the finger at someone else if it doesn't match with the current suspects 1 Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

muratremix Posted October 25, 2014 Share Posted October 25, 2014 Considering two confessed(!) myanmar suspects were beaten / interrogated by RTP, it shouldn't be hard for them to gather dna evidence from them and implant to dead bodies of murder victims. Perhaps CSI units could find out tampering but I doubt they can do it here. Because Thailand doesn't need CSI, they have RTP for solving cases!

jacko45k Posted October 25, 2014 Share Posted October 25, 2014 He also expressed confidence that the Thai justice system would ensure justice for the two suspects, Win Zaw Tun and Zaw Lin. I thought the system felt they had their 'guilty parties' and the matter was all but done and dusted? Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Popular Post twix38 Posted October 25, 2014 Popular Post Share Posted October 25, 2014 (edited) On thinking about the UK police arrival. I think one of their main jobs has been stated as checking the DNA, but... The Burmese boys originally first had their DNA taken early on and were not found to match (not arrested) as the BIB went after wild leads and foreigner (deceased friend) etc. So, I fear this early DNA that was taken and was used by the police to find patsies and then then use their collected DNA to plant on the victim's body - probably just the girls who was raped. That would mean that before the bodies were returned to UK, the Burmese DNA was where it would need to be for a later conviction and if the UK do any checking it will match. The UK need to concentrate on finding and ruling in any other DNA present and getting some DNA of the alledged murderer (bar owner's son) to see if they can rule him/other(s) in and certainly not agree just because (if) the DNA in Hannah matches the Burmese. If the bodies were not returned to UK before the first early DNA collections on the Island when it is reported the 2 Burmese boys were tested and no match found, then the DNA evidence could have been planted for later confirmation of guilt from testing the bodies in the UK and thought to be proof? aimho Edited October 25, 2014 by twix38 3 Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Popular Post Rykbanlor Posted October 25, 2014 Popular Post Share Posted October 25, 2014 John Thailand John. I just gotta confirm something. You are satisfied with the evidence released by the Police. You have absolutely no reason to doubt them, whether it be for this shaky case or the reputation they have built up as a whole. I have gone through my life with a healthy contempt of conspiracy theories. I have lived in Thailand for 13 years. There is an enormous shadow of a doubt in this case. Most things start as 'RUMOURS' until they are corroborated. The Police won't corroborate. So these remain rumours for now. It seems like the whole country is abuzzz with rumours. You say that conspiracy theorists jump from one point to the next when something is disproven. Thats true. But seems like the Police have been doing the same thing, changing the points that have been picked out. The fact that a forensic pathologist was never used at the crime scene and that members of the public, some that were later suspects, were all over the scene suggests the DNA evidence may be useless, tampered with. The Police have tampered with evidence in the past. Do you think the Thai Police don't beat suspects? Being seen earlier in the evening near the scene is damning evidence? Why do I bother? You are going to deflect somehow, ignoring all of this and I can't be bothered wasting my time making this post more comprehensive. You are welcome to your opinion mate, I just don't fully understand why you are so vehemently convinced of it. I'll admit that I can't know for sure the Burmen didn't do it, but everything surrounding this case makes it so highly doubtful. But you seem so sure. 34 Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Popular Post bertty Posted October 25, 2014 Popular Post Share Posted October 25, 2014 I don't believe there is, was and never will be any Burmese DNA inside the victim. The RTP thought all farang had the name John and that they would all fall in line and believe every word they uttered. So there would have been no need to do such a thing. DNA hasn't been mentioned for a long time. They are looking at other things. Circumstantial evidence that also doesn't exist. They do not have a clue. 3 Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Popular Post ironbark Posted October 25, 2014 Popular Post Share Posted October 25, 2014 Let it go to trial ... they have lots of lawyers and groups looking out for them 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? A smart lawyer does not even have to address the results of a DNA test.

PhillyBoy Posted October 25, 2014 Share Posted October 25, 2014 They had the DNA samples tested BEFORE they had any real suspects. They were looking for ASIAN suspects on the island. They found two that matched according to what I read. They either have the match or they don't. As far as the tortured confession, that should be a separate investigation and if wrong-doing then fire and prosecute the guilty. And throw the confession out if that is found. Then forget all this peripheral BS. Lets get it into court. The DNA match is there or it isn't, that's it! 1 Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
