Suspect in Bangkok bombing tells police he's 'guilty'

[thhMan]

Terrorists should be let out on the street...

Let the people get some satisfaction back...

[Boatfreak]

and what about these terrorists? : http://time.com/4024122/jean-luc-kister-greenpeace-apology-rainbow-warrior-bomb/ the French government are we going to kill all the families of the minsiters?

Spare no punishment on him if he is guilty.

He deserves everything he gets.

Only its not going to be enough to account for the lives of the 20 dead people.

Terrorism is the most heinous crime I can imagine. It randomly targets innocent people.

I think the only law that might work to combat it, is to redirect the attack back on the terrorists families.

20 lives from the families of each of the terrorists should be forfeit. Wipe away blood lines. Terrorism is a disease and like any disease, its got to be stopped.

That way anyone who wants to protect their families must inform on anyone they suspect. And every terrorist action has an equal and obviously unjust punishment for the terrorists.

It sounds cruel, but no less cruel than the random people they kill.

Interesting views you have. Partly sounds like KGB, but with these principles you could have made a great career in the Gestapo too I think!

Just to clarify what your aim for all of this is.

Google gives the following definition of terrorism: “the unlawful use of force and violence against persons or property to intimidate or coerce a government, the civilian population, or any segment thereof, in furtherance of political or social objectives” .

So does your statement also mean that every US soldier who killed someone in Iraq (they were there unlawfully remember) should get the equal amount of family members killed? And Netanyahu family will completely be destroyed in your view of course because of his continuing genocide of Palestinians.

My guess is that what you mean is that it should only effect people YOU deem as terrorists. And that’s a very dangerous thought. Especially since your solution to solving YOUR terrorism sounds very fascistic to me.

Idiots like the Ratchaprasong bombers should be punished severely, I fully agree with that, but their families? With your thought process you probably also agree that these Indian girls were sentenced to be gang-raped, because their brother had sex with a married woman.

Bangkok Bombing Suspect Confesses, Police Say

By Khaosod English

‎Bangkok bombing suspect Yusufu Mieraili arrives at the Min Buri Police Station early this morning where he was taken to the district court.

BANGKOK A suspect arrested in connection to the bomb attack that killed 20 people last month has confessed to the charge against him, according to the Royal Thai Police spokesman.

Yusufu Mieraili, 26, admitted to the charge of illegal possession of explosives during questioning yesterday, Police Lt.Gen. Prawuth Thawornsiri said. Mieraili was taken into custody near Thai-Cambodian border on 1 Sept. and identified as one of the occupants of an apartment building Bangkok suburb where a large cache of bomb-making materials were found in a police raid.

The suspect confessed that he is the person in the arrest warrant, and he confessed to the charge that he is accused of, Prawuth said. However, police will continue to interrogate him.

Yusufu was transferred to police yesterday after being detained at an army camp for a week under special order of the ruling military junta, which allows soldiers to hold individuals up to seven days without court warrants.

It is unclear whether Yusufus confession will be usable in the court, as he has yet to receive legal representation.

Police are scheduled to take Yusufu to reenact his alleged crime today at residences in Min Buri and Nong Chok districts where bomb materials were found, Hua Lamphong Railway Station which he is alleged to have visited just prior to the bombing and a skywalk near the Erawan Shrine, which was targeted by the 17 Aug. bomb attack which killed 20 and injured 150, mostly foreign tourists.

How is this man going to "reenact" being in possession of bomb making material ?

We will give him half a kilo of brown sugar and ball bearings and a steel pipe and tell him to assemble it for the media photographs...

After that we can go and get massages and some cold drinks to celebrate with the reward money..... A job well done and all that!

Please stop talking.

WHY??????? I think he said it real good.

[Thai at Heart]

In a civilised country with a proper justice system parading a suspect and asking the question of guilt in front of the media would all but lead to him being released for abuse of legal process and his rights. But this is Thailand and everything is approached as if they are part of a circus.

Geez how about a bit of credit for whats been a first class investigation. Now hopefully Interpol can nab that Thai women and her Turkish terrorist husband

He had no lawyer present. Just a tiny tiny imperfection

[MrTee]

You said that..

so basically you are saying you are no better than these scum..

well played sir!

Is he even allowed a lawyer in a military court under section 44?

I think they are going to hang him high whether he gets a fair trial or not

Looks like military court has been pretty strict recently :

[Rykbanlor]

I wonder if he said it with air quotes, like in the title there.

Yes officer, I am 'Guilty'

[razer]

Deport him to China. Game over.

[Borzandy]

Wonder how many times they put a plastic bag over his head ?

Please read "after a week of military interrogation"

[zaphod reborn]

I think it is pretty well-established he is part of the Uighur conspiracy to use bombs to terrorize Bangkok. If the Thai criminal code was properly written, conviction on the conspiracy count is basically the same as a conviction on whatever ends were planned and achieved by the co-conspirators. Unfortunately, the Thai criminal code is quite archaic, so, in order to reach the same result, the authorities take quite a few liberties including torture, denial of basic rights, and kangaroo court trials.

So he confessed to holding illegal bomb material, but not for making the bomb that was set off if I read correctly. I also wonder what language they are using to communicate in as I don't see a reference to this, only to a reference that their is an interpreter.

Indeed. Why is he being told to re-enact a crime he hasn't even been charged with. And why the need for a military trial? Is it because they have had such a terrible time with the civilian trial in Koh Tao?

Didn't he admit he gave the bomb to the yellow-shirt guy? He's also the one who had a chemical-engineering degree so I'd think he's the one who made the exolosives.

I wonder have they asked him to demonstrate his abilities (under controlled conditions) to confirm what he is admitting to?

Sounds at the minute that he is taking one for the team.

Forger or bomb-maker?

[godden]

People need to wake up the world is at war with islam, it's kill or be killed, i'm talking to all those ps lefty libs out there.

Saw that today they took him to the shop where he claimed he bought some of the bomb materials, as part of the re-enactment. That should be a start.

[Sviss Geez]

It is unclear whether Yusufu’s confession will be usable in the court, as he has yet to receive legal representation.

So he was interrogated by the police in the absence of a lawyer?

I guess as soon as he gets a lawyer he will retract the confession. Sounds familiar to me.

That happens everywhere, there are many occasions when the lawyers of the accused are not present during questioning, nothing unusual.

[JAG]

I seem to recall a fellow called Heydricht had a similar policy back in the 1920s in Prague. He and his mates had a bee in their bonnets about wiping out bloodlines too. Didn't do him or his mates any good, they all came to a messy end.

In a language he may not fully understand too... confessions are typed in Thai language only so they could write anything and have him sign it.... Stupid really as it gives him a defence to use later on

true..

You'd also imagine that the police could make a case without the need for any forced "confessions"

It undermines the judicial process and results in false information..

Just go jump from a building will you?

There is no way that kind of actions will stop terror, it will just breed more terror you dumb nut!

If that is the case - can you explain why the actions of ISIS actually causes people to run to other countries seeking refuge.

Because by your logic - killing people as punishment just cause more people to oppose you. So when ISIS murders 20 schoolgirls for studying, then 100 schoolgirls should oppose them, right?

Or is there some difference between ISIS using terror tactics and governments using them?

[Richard Hall]

Do you think its fair to the suspect to allow interrogation without a lawyer present?

• You have the right to remain silent when questioned.
• Anything you say or do may be used against you in a court of law.
• You have the right to consult an attorney before speaking to the police and to have an attorney present during questioning now or in the future.
• If you cannot afford an attorney, one will be appointed for you before any questioning, if you wish.
• If you decide to answer any questions now, without an attorney present, you will still have the right to stop answering at any time until you talk to an attorney.
• Knowing and understanding your rights as I have explained them to you, are you willing to answer my questions without an attorney present?

Don't know whether a similar regulation exists in Thailand. If it does and has not been applied, well, guess that could actually be used by defence that, however, has to provide proof that proper rights were actually denied.

Assuming, they were because this is supposed to be general custom in Thailand is certainly not enough. It is always easy to accuse but much harder to prove. In forums about Thailand there tend to be a lot of accusations that, howver, are of no value without clear evidence independant from what side they may come.

Did he confess in a safe house?

Was a counselor present?

Do the have a viedeo?

Have they had a translator who cannot speak Turkish nor Thai?

Do they know of a person who which much more likelihood committed the crime, whom ignore?
