Lite Beer Posted September 23, 2015 Share Posted September 23, 2015 Bangkok Bombers Not Arrested in Malaysia, Deputy Police Chief RulesBy Khaosod Eng. BANGKOK — Malaysian authorities have not arrested the two bombers behind the bomb attack that killed 20 people in Bangkok last month, said Thailand’s deputy police chief, who reportedly flew to Malaysia without his boss’ knowledge.Chakthip Chaijinda, who is tapped to succeed his current police chief Somyot Pumpanmuang next month, made his way to Kuala Lumpur yesterday chasing rumors reported in Thai and Malaysian media that two men identified as the Bangkok bombers were arrested there Saturday.Reports in Malaysia’s The Star Online and Thailand’s Thai Rath and Daily News, cited unnamed police sources and rumors who said a man arrested had confessed to being the “yellow shirt man” who planted the bomb in Bangkok’s Erawan Shrine on 17 Aug.But upon his return to Bangkok today, Police Gen. Chakthip dismissed the reports.“There has been no arrest of the bombers,” he said, explaining he had traveled to the Malaysian capital to confirm the story with police there.“Investigation and efforts to track these two down are ongoing,” Chakthip added. “I traveled there to find information about the suspects’ movement. Some news reports even identified the yellow-shirted man by name. I saw it, and I was befuddled. How can the reporters know the name? He has not been arrested yet.” Read More: http://www.khaosodenglish.com/detail.php?newsid=1443015252 -- Khaosod English 2015-09-23 Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

NovaBlue05 Posted September 23, 2015 Share Posted September 23, 2015 The Deputy must have cut a deal with the Malaysian cops. We set up 30M THB reward. You deliver them to the Thai border and hand them to the RTP. The RTP announces that, through their steller police work they have finally arrested the yellow shirt bomber. The RTP then gives a cut of the reward to the Malaysian Chief. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Reigntax Posted September 23, 2015 Share Posted September 23, 2015 And this guy is destined to take over from the current incompetent RTP comander. All the crims in Thailand are out celebrating knowing Thailand will still be open for "business". Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Reigntax Posted September 23, 2015 Share Posted September 23, 2015 Thai and Malaysian media print the false announcements from the RTP and the RTP act on the false announcements released by them that the yellow shirt has been arrested. As this is a RTP press release do we actually know that its true or do they want it to be true? Does he actually know where Malaysia is and is this just a cover up by the RTP for returning home from the wrong country empty handed and avoid face loss. Did he get confused because the arrested man was wearing a different coloured shirt and the arrest warrant clearly stated " man in yellow shirt"? Does he know telephones were invented 100 years ago? So many questions with no chance of adequate answers.. accept.. Thainess! Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

webfact Posted September 23, 2015 Share Posted September 23, 2015 ERAWAN ATTACKMalaysia probes Uighur suspects' link to bombingAGENCIESThe NationCollaborating with Thai police to capture more suspects related to caseBANGKOK: -- MALAYSIAN police have arrested four men belonging to the Uighur ethnic minority and are conducting further investigations to find out if they were involved in the deadly Erawan Shrine bombing in Bangkok last month.Noor Rashid Ibrahim, deputy inspector-general of police, said |all the suspects, who are in their 30s, were arrested in Kuala Lumpur and Kelantan on September 19."The police are conducting further investigations regarding the involvement and role of the four suspects in the bombing incident in Bangkok," he said.A lot of things have to be scrutinised such as facial recognition, their body physique, witnesses and DNA testing if necessary, Noor said. No concrete proof so far points to their involvement and no confessions were recorded from the four suspects arrested, he said."In addition, police are scrutinising their passports and personal identification documents," he said."I have also informed the Thai authorities of the arrest of the four men and they said they will collaborate to trace several more suspects believed to be involved in the incident."He said the four suspects are being investigated in Malaysia before their extradition to Thailand, bringing the number of suspects arrested over the Bangkok bombing to eight.Noor said eight people, including four Malaysians, were being detained. The detained Malaysian nationals were also suspected of trafficking foreigners into the country, he said.Three others suspects were arrested earlier this month in connection with the August 17 bombing, but Noor said that investigators had not established a link between them and the Bangkok attack.Meanwhile, Ayob Khan Mydin Pitchay, director of the Malaysian police counter-terrorism unit, said the four suspects were believed to be minority Uighur Muslims, who hailed from China's far western Xinjiang region.However, Ayob said the suspects were not directly linked to the bombing but to a human-trafficking gang."We believe they facilitated the movement of the yellow-shirted man but we cannot confirm since it is an ongoing in-vestigation," Ayob said. Malaysia's arrests are the latest pieces in a |puzzle pointing to a connection |to Uighurs that Thai authorities have sought to play down.Noor was speaking one day after Pol General Jakthip Chaijinda, deputy national police chief, flew to Kuala Lumpur to check reports that Malaysia may be able to arrest the prime suspect in the blast, known as the yellow-shirted man. The suspect was captured in security camera footage entering the shrine with a backpack and left without it minutes before the explosion. Thai police believe the suspect already left Thailand for Malaysia with the assistance of the Thais and foreigners.Jakthip returned to Bangkok on the same day and the details of his meeting with Malaysia's national police chief, Khalid Abu Bakar, were not revealed.Thai police have focused their inquiries on a belief that the Erawan blast was caused by human-trafficking gangs who were badly affected by the government's serious crackdowns on the network.Yesterday, a court in Bangkok's Min Buri district agreed to a police request to issue an arrest warrant for a man, about 30 years of age, who police said bought bomb-making equipment including pipes at a shop in the capital's Klong Toey district on August 14. Police described in the warrant that the man appeared to be a foreigner.The Foreign Ministry yesterday updated diplomats from more than 50 countries and seven international organisations about the ongoing investigation into the Bangkok bombings. The ministry's spokesman Sek Wannamethee and police spokesman Pol Lt-General Prawut Thavornsiri provided the updates.As of yesterday, two suspects were arrested and 16 arrest warrants have been issued in connection with the shrine bombing. The bombing killed 20 people - including five Malaysians from the same family - and injured more than 100 others.Source: http://www.nationmultimedia.com/national/Malaysia-probes-Uighur-suspects-link-to-bombing-30269445.html-- The Nation 2015-09-24 Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

kiwikeith Posted September 24, 2015 Share Posted September 24, 2015 Oh dear ... Befuddled, as the two bangkok suspects said the ones arrested in malaysia were not the bombers, so better believe them as they were friends with them. Reports of confession and how they were helped across the border?, must have been fabricated by the media. I did not go to malaysia, oh sorry I did but my boss did not know nothing, boy I took a risk there, but anyway dont worry -- come to Thailand because these bombers nice men not terrorists and soon we start up smuggling ring again and no more worrry about bomb.
