Police keen to talk to cabbie about bomb suspects
THE SUNDAY NATION

BANGKOK: -- POLICE investing last month's Bangkok bomb blasts want to interrogate a taxi driver who regularly drove some of the main suspects.

Royal Thai Police spokesman Lt-General Prawut Thavornsiri yesterday said that the cab driver was found to have offered his service to some of the foreigners suspected of involvement in the bombs at the Erawan Shrine and Sathorn pier.

"We got new information that this taxi driver drove for the suspects regularly, particularly the man in the blue shirt who was involved with the explosion at Sathorn pier," Prawut said.

The spokesman said that police had allowed three people questioned as witnesses in this case to go home after being interrogated, adding that they had provided "useful information" to investigators.

Prawut said that the witnesses who had earlier been in military detention knew the suspects but they appeared to have no involvement with the attacks.

He added however that they would be charged later if they were found to had a role in the blasts.

The three witnesses were identified as Pakistani man Jawed Igbal, Panisara Chaleeratrom, the wife of a wanted Pakistani named Abdul Tawab, and taxi driver Chob Sakulthong.

Prawut said that based on the latest information obtained from the three witnesses, police had been able to make a sketch of the man in blue shirt, who was caught on a security camera dropping an explosive device into the water at Sathorn Pier.

He said that police would disclose the information later.

"He said that police would disclose the information later". LOL. Yep, watch for these announcements daily. Wonderful investigative technique.

These police are just like my girlfriend. They tell everything they know when they should keep their mouth shut.

" Police would disclose the information later. "

Later ? Counting 10, 9, 8 ... !

" Police would disclose the information later. "

Information is like gold, They don't want anyone muscling in on the fat bonuses of millions of baht the award themselves every time they

catch a crook.... and beside, is there any one left there that they didn't question yet?

I think it's now blatantly obvious, that they don't have much idea where to go next......a month on, 2 arrests, both of whom may be innocent.......

Did those taxi drivers get the Burma treatment behind closed doors, before their public confession?

They want to check the Taxis for more DNA,

I bet the Taxi driver is not "keen" on talking to the Police ... The public will avoid all contact with these buffons as its considered dangerous engaging with "Law enforcement" here ... and it is ...

They want to check the Taxis for more DNA,

Just the fare i think....................

After over a month, go back and bait the taxi drivers as cover up witnesses.

I think it's now blatantly obvious, that they don't have much idea where to go next......a month on, 2 arrests, both of whom may be innocent.......

On the contrary, it appears they are following all possible leads to ensure they find the real guys who are responsible. Or would it hurt TV readers to give any credit to anyone?

Well letting these suspects go with the history in the article is insane, they won,t be seen again, then not going to Malaysia more stupid.

wonders never cease.

These police are just like my girlfriend. They tell everything they know when they should keep their mouth shut.

And then expect the media to show more sense and not report it.

"police had allowed three people questioned as witnesses in this case to go home after being interrogated, adding that they had provided "useful information" to investigators."

Imaginary interrogation:

Police - "If you give us useful information, you'll be released from detention and allowed to go home.

Detained - "Okay, I'll say whatever you want to hear!"

Another breakthru in the police investigation.

I think the RTP is at the end of the rope.

G'wan, most are still walking around scratching their heads. Keen indeed !

Of course many TV readers and posters will never give praise where it is due, as it does not suit their way of thinking or get them likes from the like minded cop haters who are prevalent on here.

A sad indictment to know there are so many who have a one eyed viewed. I can see both sides and

yes, the cops need to take along hard look at themselves,as on many, many occasions, they leave a lot to be desired but when they shut up and do a good job, give the bagging a break.

Saving their own face first, before turning to the taxi driver community to save their face when the international community becomes suspicious and witnesses become slightly uncooperative...

Why were the BIB payed the reward money.

Why are the police still stuffing around with this case. We all know that the bombers were caught earlier on and the reward was even paid for this swift police result .
