Baerboxer Posted November 17, 2014 Share Posted November 17, 2014 Wonder why the police never turned up with their version of the torture incident or could it be they have something to hide like the name of the real killer/killers Standard Thai practice Jim. If you don't like the question simply ignore it. If that doesn't work shout about something else and ask a different question of your own. Finally if all else fails turn violent and nasty. Even when it's not disputed that the police are involved in illegal activities they rarely get held to account. Many police officers here will tell you in conversation that they "are police and can do whatever they like". They aren't joking. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

I wonder whether the Lawyer took photos of these bruises, and has passed them on to the NHRC?? This might explain the RTP reluctance to attend any meeting called by NHRC.

Popular Post stephen terry Posted November 17, 2014 Popular Post Share Posted November 17, 2014 "We haven't been to Koh Tao. People who have been there tell us that in fact security cameras were widely available but after the crimes happened, no one knew where recordings from those cameras are. Those who agree to talk us don't dare to give much information. And they prefer to talk in a place outside Koh Tao," she said. I think this part of the report is very interesting. I also do wonder where are the recordings from the CCTV....... transam: So these two Burmese guys went and "sorted" all the cctv stuff .. The only reason for the lack of CCTV recordings is that someone has obliterated them/hidden them/whatever. Any reasonable person would assume that it was deliberate to cover up identifying possible suspects. Two probable sources: the powerful families or the RTP, or both. Logically (from the absence of CCTV recordings), the B2 cannot be involved in their destruction, and even if they were at the crime scene, there are others also. 3 Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Dogmatix Posted November 17, 2014 Share Posted November 17, 2014 I spotted an interesting article in Thai Rath over the week end, the gist of which I summarize below for the benefit of those who cannot read Thai. "After the Koh Tao murders a crazy conspiracy developed with a view to making Thai people bitterly hate Thai police. They have repeatedly incited their friends to believe that Thai police looked for Burmese scapegoats to get forced confessions. After the dust had settled and the social media idiots all returned to America, it turned out after 3 DNA tests that the police were right. Scotland Yard and the British Ambassador, who spent a long time engrossed in the case, asked to see all the details of the DNA tests of 300 people on Koh Tao and the taking of samples. All the Scotland Yard aunties and the British ambassador were so impressed that they asked the Thai police to come to the UK to train their own police. Even more important than the praise heaped on Thai police by the Brits was their admission that the Thai police used more advanced equipment and techniques in the investigation than their own. Once the imaginative fantasies are over, hopefully people will stop criticizing Thai police." 2 Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Dogmatix Posted November 17, 2014 Share Posted November 17, 2014 Spring TV has aired a 38 minute documentary in Thai by their journalist, Ms Siriporn, which sets out the progress to date and the timeline of the investigation quite well. Interestingly there is no mention at all of the former head family of interest which has now been formally declared uninteresting after suitable arrangements were made to establish their innocence beyond doubt combined with thorough police investigation of DNA and alibis - not even a mention of the formal declaration of disinterest in them or their name. Seems the media are scared even to mention what was the police's second line of enquiry after Chris Ware, who was mentioned, while summing things up. Regarding the latter, the programme showed a policeman early in the investigation saying that the violence of the crime indicated that it could not have been committed by Thais (who presumably are far more gentler, kinder rapists and murderers). This observation must have been what led police to suspect that Mr Ware had committed both murders by himself in a fit of homosexual jealousy before they switched their attention the family that was once of interest. Also of interest was a comment on the results of the autopsy against a frame of the commander of the police Institute of Forensic Medicine, a police major general wearing a white doctor's coat, where Ms Siriporn mentioned that the autopsy had found severe bruising on David's hands indicating that he had fought back.

See the case of the murdered German on Samui, where the Thai suspects are waiting out their 84 days before they're freed. It's not as if there's no evidence, there's plenty enough plus a confession, but it ain't going to happen. To give me a ray of hope that justice will be served, has there ever been a Thai incarcerated for killing a non-Thai?

Ah well, whatever floats his/her boat. Back on topic. Albeit the news of this dreadful case was primarily trickled out piecemeal, as soon as I saw that photo of the two accused Burmese on the front of the BP, I knew they were being set up.

uty6543 Posted November 17, 2014 Share Posted November 17, 2014 Torture or not. We all know those boys are innocentdo we?for sure?Yes we do know for sure. From day 1 it was obvious to 99.9% of us. Just like some know for sure there is no god and afterlife, whilst others know for sure there is. How do you know for sure - your infallible gut feeling? You must win a lot of lotteries then. Innocent or guilty - people can have opinions but very very few really know what happened on that terrible night. And they ain't posting the details on TVF, or FB for that matter. Belief in God and the afterlife is based on faith not evidence and I would never question another man's faith. I never buy lottery tickets in thailand as it is run by corrupt officials. IMO I know for sure that the B2 are innocent based on evidence and lack of evidence the RTP should have and don't. For example lack of CCTV showing the movements of the guilty parties. Lack of CCTV showing Nomsod whereabouts. One clip with a incorrect time stamp is not enough to clear him. Any of us who have spent any length of time here probably have first hand experience of police corruption so trusting the DNA is out of the question. So no it is not my gut feeling that tells me these 2 are innocent it is evidence and lack of credibility of the prosocutions case. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
NoshowJones Posted November 17, 2014 Share Posted November 17, 2014 Torture is not putting plastic bags on a suspects head. Torture is inflicting serious amounts of pain with hot irons, finger crushing pliers and beatings with clubs. This was just a Thailand style interrogation. Torture doesn't have to leave a scar. Waterboarding doesn't, putting a plastic bag over someone's head and cutting off their oxygen supply doesn't. Torture is whatever causes terror and fear off death. Locking me in a room with venomous snakes would be torture for me but perhaps not for you. Locking me in a room and playing Elton John or Michael Jackson records would be torture for me. Now lets hear someone say the same about Elvis or Roy Orbison and I won't believe them. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

FangFerang Posted November 17, 2014 Share Posted November 17, 2014 If you think that placing a plastic bag over your head does not amount to torture, you really should try it sometime. There are about 300.000 victims of the Khmer Rouge (amongst whom my father in Law) who were tortured and killed this way. My wife can testify to this as she was was forced to watch at the time.

So no it is not my gut feeling that tells me these 2 are innocent it is evidence and lack of credibility of the prosocutions case. Even if you believe the DNA match, that seems to make the evidence that they also committed the double murder only circumstantial. There were no bloodstained clothes after the particularly brutal and messy murder of Hannah. There are no fingerprints or DNA linking them to the hoe and no marks on them indicating the struggle with David that resulted in the severe bruises to his hands and no signs of a struggle with Hannah which would definitely have resulted in scratches and bites, if the poor girl was still conscious. Neither of them had died blond hair corresponding to the hair that was supposedly found clasped in Hannah's hand. There is no clear explanation of how two gnomes were able to subdue David, lay him unconscious and drag him to the water while simultaneously restraining Hannah. There is no account of a second murder weapon or how the hoe could have inflicted David's wounds if it was the only weapon used. There is DNA of the 2B plus the former star witness on cigarette butts where they said they were singing and playing guitar plus another cigarette butt with red lipstick on it but I think no female DNA. So the cigarette evidence seems to only confirm that the 3B were on the log at some point but the time of death must have been after 3am and before 4am, while the 3B went to the log at 11pm and only had a couple of beers to last them 4 to 5 hours plus only smoked one cigarette each, even though they had just purchased a pack of 20 LMs in the convenience store. In a Western court the prosecution would need to convince the jury that the 2B raped Hannah, assuming DNA is irrefutable, and then would need to show how they murdered the pair to eliminate the possibility that there were other parties involved who can't be proved to have committed rape but did commit the murders. 5 Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

That's strange cos the quote from Thai Rath TV has the head of the family that was formerly of interest saying that all the CCTV footage came from his family which has cooperated fully with police by providing all they asked for. No doubt that is entirely true but it is not clear exactly what they asked for, since one policeman was quoted telling journalists police couldn't ask the owner of one of the formerly interesting family's bars to give them the 2 minutes of footage that was edited out of the clip of the running man because it was private property. 1 Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

But it seems to me that, if what they say is true, there should be no need for articles like that in their support. If they did a great job, let their actions and results speak for themselves. The case will be wrapped up quickly with overwhelming evidence of the 2B's guilt in addition to the DNA evidence, which is provided entirely by the police themselves without independent corroboration, and the court and the public will be convinced and eternally grateful to the BiB for removing two callous killers from the streets for good. Also why not let the British police and ambassador speak for themselves? If they were so impressed by the police investigation and superior technology, they will probably say so in good time and we will soon read about a Thai police delegation flying to the UK to provide training to Scotland Yard and regional forces along with sales of Thai technology. It will be far more convincing from the mouths of the UK police and the ambassador than from Thai media which can be bought and sold on a daily basis.

Mental torture is just as effective, if not more effective, as violent torture. I think putting a plastic bag on the head of someone with his hands cuffed behind his back would have a similar effect waterboarding where the victim is brought to the edge of suffocation repeatedly. Like waterboarding plastic bag torture doesn't leave any marks, unless the victim suffocates to death. Perhaps we have someone on TV who worked at Guantanamo who is experienced in US torture techniques and can tell us more. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

I like the part where the British ambassador and Scotland Yard were so impressed they asked the Thai police to come to the UK to train the British police! I also enjoyed reading how the Thai police have more advanced equipment and techniques than the British police according to Scotland Yard. We saw the Thai police advanced techniques when containing the crime scene, who could fail to be impressed by that? Who could also fail to be impressed by the bomb detecting equipment they purchased a couple of years ago. RTP, a truly state of the art organization indeed!

Even more important than the praise heaped on Thai police by the Brits was their admission that the Thai police used more advanced equipment and techniques in the investigation than their own. Once the imaginative fantasies are over, hopefully people will stop criticizing Thai police." Outstanding! These people really are demented. I like the part where the British ambassador and Scotland Yard were so impressed they asked the Thai police to come to the UK to train the British police! I also enjoyed reading how the Thai police have more advanced equipment and techniques than the British police according to Scotland Yard. We saw the Thai police advanced techniques when containing the crime scene, who could fail to be impressed by that? Who could also fail to be impressed by the bomb detecting equipment they purchased a couple of years ago. RTP, a truly state of the art organization indeed! I think the aunties at Scotland Yard will be putting in an order for plastic bags from the Thai Region 8 detectives soon. 1 Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
