steven100 Posted August 19, 2015 Share Posted August 19, 2015 good work on getting a sketch out quickly .... lets hope they catch this murderer very soon .... Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
firestar Posted August 19, 2015 Share Posted August 19, 2015 Is it on purpose that they release a sketch of someone that has no identifiable race, skin color, features....? Then again if it's a foreigner he's long gone, best to keep their options open so fingers can be pointed at someone, anyone, and get some political gain out of this.

roamer Posted August 19, 2015 Share Posted August 19, 2015 Well if he's Thai or Chinese he must have been working on that stubble for a month .... Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
firestar Posted August 19, 2015 Share Posted August 19, 2015 If he's Thai or Chinese he must have been working on that stubble for a month .... Well they said it could be a wig, so the stubble could be glued on pubes, basically..... they have no idea. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

bangkokfrog Posted August 19, 2015 Share Posted August 19, 2015 This thing seems to have been fairly carefully planned, so it seems unlikely that the guy would not have taken some steps to disguise himself. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
WinnieTheKhwai Posted August 19, 2015 Share Posted August 19, 2015 (edited) So that pretty much rules out he's a redshirt. (Along with technical details of the bomb, and the indiscriminate murderous/terrorist intent; it's not beyond them to meddle with glorified fireworks against specific political targets and then usually at night when nobody is there. Everything about this is different.) Edited August 19, 2015 by WinnieTheKhwai Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
ourmanflint Posted August 19, 2015 Share Posted August 19, 2015 Does it say anywhere what suspects height is? This is basic stuff to assess and then state. No point in looking at 6ft foreigners if he was a midget. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Thailand Posted August 19, 2015 Share Posted August 19, 2015 "might be foreign or Thai" Quite possible. Hope they get the B soon! Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Might be that the CCTV image was so poor that this is the best they could do with it. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
WinnieTheKhwai Posted August 19, 2015 Share Posted August 19, 2015 If the guy looks so familiar then it's probably because that's the most generic looking person I've ever seen on this planet. As for his height and build: bet that's average too. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

I am not saying he did, just saying that it is not a evidence against it. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

lildragon Posted August 19, 2015 Share Posted August 19, 2015 Maybe from the same part of the world as Tsmarnev the Boston bomber? Europe meets Asia there and some of the people like something in between. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
fish fingers Posted August 19, 2015 Share Posted August 19, 2015 (edited) After leaving the scene, a taxi bike dropped him off at Silom soi 9 - are the authorities doing 'house to house' down there? Its just a short distance from Taksin Bridge too, so if its the same person(or 'cell'), he didn't run from the city that quickly Edited August 19, 2015 by fish fingers Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
richard_smith237 Posted August 19, 2015 Share Posted August 19, 2015 (edited) *Deleted posts edited out* This is about finding an obscene human being... Politics can remain out of it until a culprit is found. The link I provided above was sent to me by Thai friends yesterday (also of no political persuasion)... they thought the 'guy in the yellow T-shirt' could have been this guy... it still could be. The Police Sketch does show some resemblance - This is someone the Police should at least be questioning, if not for any other reason than to simply rule out.

Mackie Posted August 19, 2015 Share Posted August 19, 2015 It seems to me the guy was just a delivery boy. Or a deluded radical student obsessed with Hunger Games. I would keep that option open. It wouldn't be the first time nor it will be the last time that someone was given substantial amount of money to deliver 'goods' to a certain point. People are offered money, the content is never discussed. Desperate people take the money, no questions ask. In any case, the authorities need to get him to squeeze out of him who was behind this attack. If he was only a delivery boy, tough luck. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Bluespunk Posted August 19, 2015 Share Posted August 19, 2015 Could be any U.K. Passport Holder these days. Considering the background of the British citizen murdered in this bombing that "joke" is in astonishingly poor taste. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
weaver93 Posted August 19, 2015 Share Posted August 19, 2015 (edited) "might be foreign or Thai", according to national police spokesman Prawut Thavornsiri So that narrows it down to circa 8.5m in Bangkok alone.... In other words.... RTP havent got a 'Scooby Doo'' 1m baht as a reward, they should up it to 20m at least -IMO T.I.T.
