webfact Posted September 2, 2015 Author Share Posted September 2, 2015 Police: Fingerprints of second suspect match those on bomb-making materialsBANGKOK, 2 September 2015 (NNT) - According to the Royal Thai Police, fingerprints found on bomb-making materials match the fingerprints of the second Ratchaprasong suspect who was arrested on Tuesday while trying to cross the border in Sa Kaeo’s Aranyaprathet.Spokesperson of the National Council for Peace and Order (NCPO) Col Winthai Suvaree said the recent NCPO meeting had agreed to provide additional compensation to victims of the deadly Ratchaprasong explosion that killed 20 and injured scores of people. He added that Prime Minister attached to the Prime Minister’s Office M.L. Panadda Diskul would be presiding over the compensation-presenting ceremony.In addition to that, a sum of money under the “Together We Can” campaign initiated by the Bangkok Metropolitan Administration (BMA) will be given to families of the deceased and the injured.In the meantime, Police Spokesman Pol Gen Prawut Thavornsiri disclosed that fingerprints of a foreign man arrested at Thailand's border with Cambodia matched those found on a bottle containing bomb-making materials.The bottle was among many items seized during a Saturday raid of an apartment in Nong Chok District of Bangkok where another suspect was arrested as part of the investigation into the deadly bombing at Erawan Shrine.At this initial stage of the investigation, Pol Gen Prawut refused to confirm the nationalities of the two suspects, but said believed both of them had been using forged documents.-- NNT 2015-09-02 Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
slipperylobster Posted September 2, 2015 Share Posted September 2, 2015 (edited) I am not quite sure that the police would get any reward money. That offer was for turning information over to police that would lead to an arrest and conviction. The reward simply does not have to be paid now. I suppose some folks thought the police were only doing these arrests to collect a reward for doing their jobs...which is ridiculous. Even with no reward..the same outcome. I would not be surprised if the police received many phone calls with new information, leading to these arrests, from reward seekers. Might possibly have panned out for someone..but I am quite sure it would be kept quiet...and that there would have to be actual convictions.

Seastallion Posted September 2, 2015 Share Posted September 2, 2015 All we've been hearing about as far as "bomb making materials" is ball bearings, detonators, and a pipe. NOW there's a bottle of "bomb material"! What is it? Red Bull, because we know very well that bomb-makers need to drink? Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

phantomfiddler Posted September 2, 2015 Share Posted September 2, 2015 (edited) After looking at the artist,s sketch of the actual bomber against the photograph of the suspected bomber captured at the border in today,s Bangkok Post front page, I find the likeness absolutely amazing Having personally witnessed Thai interrogation techniques I do believe much more information will be forthcoming, and hope that the suspect is closely guarded at all times lest he be eliminated by the higher-ups.

Seastallion Posted September 2, 2015 Share Posted September 2, 2015 So he says that the suspect arrested at the border "resembled the yellow shirted bomb suspect"? I don't think so, the face was very different, I would say that in that case the first suspect looked more like yellow shirt I'm no facial recognition expert, but I see a similarity: Bangkok-338972.jpg Yeah, it could be....but this is an indetikit, so it could be thousands of other people too. If I was associated with a bombing, I would have cut my hair by now...shaven head. Even if this guy never sees the news, simple common sense would be to change his appearance IF he was one of the people in public planting a bomb. With 200 passports, I still think these Uighurs are people smugglers, not bombers. They are two very diverse occupations. Have Uighurs ever done bombings in China? Self-immolation is more their style of protest, isn't it? Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

zaphod reborn Posted September 2, 2015 Share Posted September 2, 2015 (edited) Police say suspect speaks Turkish BANGKOK (AP) — Thailand's national deputy police chief, Chakthip Chaijinda, says the suspect arrested at the border speaks Turkish, which requires a translator. He did not say whether a translator has been brought in or if the Turkish Embassy has been approached. Speculation has grown that the suspect might be part of a group seeking to avenge Thailand's forced repatriation of ethnic Uighurs to China in July. Prime Minister Prayuth Chan-ocha on Monday linked the two theories, suggesting the bombers might have been involved in smuggling Uighurs out of China. Uighurs (pronounced WEE-gurs) are related to Turks, and Turkey is home to a large Uighur community. The Erawan shrine is especially popular with Chinese tourists, feeding the idea that it could be a target for people who believe the Uighurs are oppressed by China's government. -- (c) Associated Press 2015-09-02 I'm sure they can find a doner kebab stall operator who understands almost no Thai to do the translating of his confession, while torturing and beating the @#*! out of him.

alocacoc Posted September 2, 2015 Share Posted September 2, 2015 (edited) Sooooo..... I'm confused. Is this the guy who was arrested by Thai police near the border, or is the guy the Cambodian police arrested at the PP airport? This is the man arrested at phnom phen airport, also he was apparently wanted by China. After his arrest he was beamed over to Sa kaet then re-arrested . Phnom Phet Press is worth reading today. This is even more confusing. The Thai government yesterday announced that the man believed to be the prime suspect in the deadly bombing of Bangkok’s Erawan shrine had been arrested in Thailand’s Sa Kaeo province, though well-placed officials in both Cambodia and Thailand said that the man was actually arrested at Phnom Penh International Airport. The Cambodian police official’s version of events, corroborated by a Thai police source quoted by the Bangkok Post, contradicts the official narrative of the Thai authorities – including statements by Thai Prime Minister Prayuth Chan-ocha – and has been denied by a Cambodian official. A member of the Thai police investigative team also told the Bangkok Post the suspect was arrested at Phnom Penh airport while trying to depart for Turkey. A Cambodian police spokesman yesterday denied this, while several other officials denied earlier reports that Thailand had requested Cambodia’s assistance to find two suspects who had fled across the border. and so on... http://www.phnompenhpost.com/national/bangkok-bombing-suspect-arrested Edited September 2, 2015 by alocacoc Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Ulic Posted September 2, 2015 Share Posted September 2, 2015 It looks to me that the Thai/Chinese decision to return the Uighurs to China rather than sending them on to Turkey was the correct one. Obviously they were connected to terrorist groups that are now showing there displeasure. In the future Thailand should send back all Uighurs found in Thailand on principle alone. It looks to me as if they are terrorists, or family of terrorists. Enough with political correctness. Using Thailand and Malaysia as transit points to get to Turkey and join Isis must be stopped. Not sure how easy it is to forge Turkish passports but Thailand should look closely at visa restrictions on Turkish passports if they do not have the latest anti-counterfeiting measures. Just my opinion. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

kiwikeith Posted September 2, 2015 Share Posted September 2, 2015 I might have missed something, he's wanted in China for something else, that is, before the bombing? Just google Phnom Phen Press and read about arrest claimed to be made by Cambodian police at airport. Says he was wanted in China, apparently Cambodia did not want to peev China off and Thailand wanted this guy bad. So a bit of miss-information being spread around here by Thai authorities. My money is on the cambodians arresting him and handing back at the Sa Kaet border. He is more than likely an Uighur his Chinese passport states he comes from the Uighur area of China. As for motive to bombing , Uighurs peeved off about being deported and some executed by Chinese. Part A, a message to China about that. Part B a message to Thailand about that This can be blamed on both, Chinese for executing Uighurs and Thailand for deporting them, however Thai police don,t want to admit this neither do Chinese want to claim any responsibility. I would like to know if this guy arrested at the border who's name is Yussuf is the same Yussuf who had been held by Cambodian authorities and deported to China in 2009 illegally. Sooner or later the Nationalities will surface and the Uighur picture will be very clear as will be the Turkish connection with Uighurs and people trafficking through the port of Sa Kaet. Thai police transferred from this port for letting Uighurs through into Thailand on bogus paperwork. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
ironbark Posted September 2, 2015 Share Posted September 2, 2015 Interesting that there is no presumption of innocence under Thai law. The police statement of his guilt would immediately cause a mistrial in any western jurisprudence . Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
pmugghc Posted September 2, 2015 Share Posted September 2, 2015 Perhaps Cambodia doesn't want to upset its buddy China. He is a Chinese citizen if the passport is correct. So a "convenient" solution for Cambodia and Thailand is to just ship him over, then claim he wasn't in Cambodia. Sooooo..... I'm confused.

gandalf12 Posted September 2, 2015 Share Posted September 2, 2015 (edited) So his finger prints were found inside the apartment which held the material. That does not automatically confirm that he is the one who planted the IED. I think they need a bit more than what they have revealed to state that he is the one who planted the bomb.
