If his trousers are on the table, what's he wearing under the table?

By the look of abject fear on his face I would suggest not so much.

Which is as it should be, as a murderer in this fairly open and shut case, I think he should enjoy all that Thai prisons have to offer.

All because he lost a crappy supermarket job?

Why cant the police do the pointing when they arrest a guy?

'Why cant the police do the pointing when they arrest a guy?' Only the victims get to point - difficult to stage in this case.

PHUKET: The man caught in connection with the murder of a Supercheap worker in the early hours of Thursday morning (July 2) was escorted to re-enact the crime scene in Rasssada yesterday (July 3) while the second man is still being hunted.

At 2pm yesterday, Phuket City Police Superintendent Col Kaitong Jantongbai led a team of armed police to escort Ong-art Meekaew, 29, Rawai native, for the re-enactment of the murder of Nattapon Nukul. Mr Nattapon was stabbed to death in Soi Thungka just after midnight on July 2 and Ong-art was arrested at 5pm that day.

Police said Ong-art admitted to the murder, which he said he committed with another man, Nattapong or Mai Tongsri, 24, whom is wanted by police.

The Phuket News noted that the atmosphere at the crime scene re-enactment was both orderly and peaceful. Police both fully uniformed and plain clothed were at the scene to provide security for the suspect. Many residents showed up to watch and take pictures.

Mr Natttapon was on his way back home after finishing work when he was stopped by two men about 30 metres from his rented room.

The re-enactment showed Ong-art and the second suspect, Mai, beating up the victim up with a piece of metal, and the victim attempting to get away from them on his motorbike.

The men managed to stop the victim, and Mai stabbed the victim in the neck. As the men tried to flee, a 4-inch blade was still in the victim’s right ear, and nearby was a Honda Click motorbike lying in the road and the handle of the knife.

Col Kaitong Jantongbai told The Phuket News that they have sent officers to the remaining suspect’s hometown, Nakorn Sri Thammarat, and reassured that they will find him soon.

Difficult...

Not according to the picture above?

They could also make an effort and pose the corpse?

Maybe a Photoshopped hand on a pic of the dead?

"I think he should enjoy all that Thai prisons have to offer." - and how much prison time do you think that will be, after he pays "compensation" to the deceased's family????

You really think an ex Supercheap worker has the resources to buy his way out of this?

Depends on the victim's family.

If they want / need the money, rather than justice, "mediation" will start.

The accused's family may need to sell some land, gold etc to raise the money, who knows what the "mediated" justice may be, in baht?
