StaffsShot Posted February 8, 2015 Share Posted February 8, 2015 Nasty business.. that's savage! Indeed, a very vicious assault. Not often one gets hit on the head with an axe and survives. Surprised the assailant didn't use the usual gun or a knife. Hope he makes a full recovery but does sound like he's upset somebody. Re the guys wondering if his mrs knew he had life insurance, you've been reading too many tales on TV lol 1 Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Bogan Koori Posted February 9, 2015 Share Posted February 9, 2015 It's a clear cut case of attempted suicide Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Briggsy Posted February 9, 2015 Share Posted February 9, 2015 High chance that the Frenchman knows what this is about. Business dealings being top of the list. On the off chance, he has no idea, a thorough investigation of his wife's finances and sex life would turn something up. He arrived with his wife but only he was attacked. This is a botched pre-planned assassination attempt. 1 Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

See this thread, http://www.thaivisa.com/forum/topic/714006-french-resort-manager-ukrainian-tour-guide-nabbed-in-work-permit-raids/page-5, and baabaabobo's detective skills, which have convinced me.

keestha Posted February 10, 2015 Share Posted February 10, 2015 Either doing business here, banging someone's wife or the wife is sick of him and wants to cash out of the relationship. The attack is too personal and brutal to be random. There is also a lot of brutal violence caused by conflicts arising from nothing during say alcohol drenched karaoke sessions. But who is carrying around an ax, points to it being a planned thing. Oh well, I'm out, who needs one more detective. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

But who is carrying around an ax, points to it being a planned thing. Oh well, I'm out, who needs one more detective.Using an axe is similar to a knife attack, the perp wants to get close to the victim. It seems it was a crime of passion. Either it was a jealous gay lover or the wife had a boyfriend and went for a square up Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
NamKangMan Posted February 13, 2015 Share Posted February 13, 2015 (edited) Either doing business here, banging someone's wife or the wife is sick of him and wants to cash out of the relationship. The attack is too personal and brutal to be random. I agree, but doesn't all the things you mention make this an obvious case of "attempted suicide - case closed?"
