rametindallas Posted July 18, 2015 Share Posted July 18, 2015 Not enough evidence then? What do they need, the knife sticking out of his chest? That's crazy! It's clearly a case of premeditated attempted murder. There are quite a few stories like this circulating on the net, were the perp gets off scott free, or albeit with a slap on the wrist. Like the scummy speedboat driver, that killed two Koreans in Phuket. That boy got two years. It's a wonder that with the incident happening around Ekamai, that they didn't search Mr Sibbit, to see if he was carrying any drugs on his person. That would have been were the real money is. If he'd been carrying a few pills, they'd have given him twenty years and a massive fine. I agree there should be enough evidence for some sort of conviction, but I completely disagree that it is "clearly a case of premeditated attempted murder". There is no evidence of pre-meditation, and we do not know if he just wanted to stab the victim without causing his death. I completely disagree that it is "clearly a case of premeditated attempted murder" How far in advance does someone have to decide to try and kill another person for it to be 'premeditated'? A week? A day? An hour? A minute? This guy was caught with multiple knives so he must have 'premeditated' something before he left his home. Premeditated: think out or plan (an action, especially a crime) beforehand. This definition does not include a minimum length of time to 'think out or plan'; it just says "beforehand". For me, if someone decides to kill another person seconds before they make the attempt, they have 'premeditated'. Otherwise, was it just an 'accidental' attempt at murder? What would you call it if not 'premeditated, attempted murder'? we do not know if he just wanted to stab the victim without causing his death. You sure are generous; I'll give you that. He might 'accidentally' kill me when his true intention was only to injure me. I certainly wouldn't want to give him the benefit of a doubt that 'maybe' he only wanted to injure me while he is attacking me with a large kitchen knife. The attacker belongs in a mental ward for the criminally insane. . Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

arrowsdawdle Posted July 18, 2015 Share Posted July 18, 2015 Letting somebody you don't know, especially somebody that looks like that perp, get that close to you....let alone touch you....is on you, especially with your mother there vulnerable to danger. You don't have to understand Thai to know that he was after money. Even if he wasn't after money, when he sees money he will be after it. Therefore, producing a wallet or cash and dropping it "accidentally" would have redirected his attention to the score and while he is picking it up a penalty kick to the throat or face should give you time to go on about your business without further interruption. Don't forget to retrieve your wallet. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
mrfaroukh Posted July 18, 2015 Share Posted July 18, 2015 I think this may be one of the reason Western tourist are not coming here any longer and this is a bad reputation destroying the image of Thailand with so many lovely people around.

Were or are we at war with them? I don't want to be misunderstood by this remark, but the locals must know they're one of the top travel destinations because of foreign currency infusion, right? Like you've mentioned, he's a nutter and should be locked up. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Yunla Posted July 18, 2015 Share Posted July 18, 2015 (edited) Walking the streets with a knife, stabbing random strangers who never spoke to or looked at you, equals serious mental-illness. Doubtless this is not the first innocent person struck by the same knife. In developed nations this would not be premeditated murder, or prison. Most likely this final attack would not even have occurred in some other nations, as the person would already be under heavy doses of hospital drugs in a secure ward somewhere, after his earlier similar attacks. My sympathies are of course with the victims. But at the same time you have to ask yourself what does Mister walking the streets stabbing people for no reason actually gain from these activities, is this a life that anyone would want. Of course not, it is a terrible way to live, and there are truly no winners in this story. It is the duty of responsible government to intercept people with seriously violent mental-illness, and remove them from the streets. The right location for them is hospital, with drugs and nurses, and seriously locked rooms. Edited July 18, 2015 by Yunla Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

soalbundy Posted July 19, 2015 Share Posted July 19, 2015 "Not enough evidence" .... Is this place getting more stupid by the minute ... If it was the other way around the Canadian would be facing "attempted murder" but this lunatic is quite possibly gonna walk until he attack (and kill) his next victim - well done RTP, another bang on job Maybe its time to clear out of this inane asylum and find a civilized country to live in stead of Land of Stabbing... BTW sorry about the avatar, Blake, not intended Not many civilised countries left these days! If you don't like the land of stabbing don't go to the UK, there are stories of stabbings in the paper every day, how about the little boy going to school with two steak knives threatening to cut his teachers head off.

Not to forget the road rage stabbing to death of a 79 year old man in Sussex a few days ago. Fortunately these types of crimes remain unusual here, even in Bangkok.

kiwikeith Posted July 19, 2015 Share Posted July 19, 2015 By "not enough evidence", I suppose the cops meant evidence in the form of cash. Could be a contract gone wrong! hire a dummy , real estate agents are not the most honest people around espsecially farang ones trying to extort their own kind.

Whyamiandwhatamidoinghere Posted July 19, 2015 Share Posted July 19, 2015 Yeah... Reminds me of a Thai girl who thought I was a guy she spent the night with and disappeared after saying he needed to go to the money tree. She walked up to me and pulled a box cutter from her bra and tried to slash my face. Fortunately she forgot to extend the blade. A male staff of the street bar subdued her until the police came. They talked to her but didn't arrest her because no harm no foul. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Dogmatix Posted July 19, 2015 Share Posted July 19, 2015 some people will only stop an assult as they are met with gunsmoke and hot lead.. If they are on some of the real mind alternating drugs it may take a multiple of rounds (4 or 5 ) but placed correctly that should be a real put down. then the bib would probably go after the fellow protecting himself, mother and bystanders' handdy to have a dozen spare clips just to show your not up to taking blaming the unseen / unheard voice no one else heard. lock the crazed lunitic up in the house for deranged human / animal behavior and place him and others like him right next to the monkey pit at zoos around the country, a diet of peanuts, and water might show the errors of this type of behavior to the general public. Well placed .45 or .357 magnum bullets will usually do a good job in stopping drug crazed killers on their tracks. Pity it's so difficult for mere mortals to get permits to carry them. Camronwit's tiny unregistered.22 magnum would probably require a headshot to do the job, even though he claims he is accurate with it at 100 metres but better than nothing. Did a good job in scaring Japanese security officials though. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
