chilli42 Posted February 5, 2016 Share Posted February 5, 2016 I don't believe in the Easter Bunny or this story. I accept Occam's razor as a useful anslytic tool but this explanation is overly simplistic. 4million Baht is not a lot of money and it's not going to get you stitched up like this. There was major payback involved here and/or a message to someone still alive. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

gandalf12 Posted February 5, 2016 Share Posted February 5, 2016 Why would a "foreign" gang make him transfer the money to a Thai bank? It is not likely that his bank in Singapore would have his account in Thai Bhat, in fact they try to dissuade you from having the account in Baht. Would seem more likely to me that his killers are home grown and not foreign. I could be wrong but foreigners would not want the money in a currency that is of little value elsewhere.

Artisi Posted February 5, 2016 Share Posted February 5, 2016 48 hours? thanks for the warning. "Yesterday he called a meeting with investigators and set a deadline of 48 hours for the capture of the suspects." OK big boss, what we do now? "He speculated that the suspects were still at large in the country and had planned their crime in every detail. He also believed there was more than one suspect and they were well organized and had planned the crime in every detail." good writing. so we are clear, in every detail? got it? ok. Shouldn't be too difficult, if you look at the headline it seems he is currently being murdered - as in right now - so, if they get the finger out, might be able to catch them in the act.....

DAILY ATM TRANSACTION LIMIT AT KASIKORN IS 40000 BAHT I have transferred sums in the amount stated from Singapore to Thailand when the wife bought the house for example. The Singapore bank phoned me and asked questions before they would send the money. If they took the money out over the counter it would raise eyebrows in any Thai bank I am sure. When the wife bought the house we got a cashiers cheque, so I dont believe it was foreigners who did this. I would never say they couldnt or wouldnt but the way this report is presented it does not look typical of a foreign crime Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Laughing Gravy Posted February 5, 2016 Share Posted February 5, 2016 DNA - which in the case of the police here means Do Nod in Agreement Anyway, no Thai could do something like that. .. "Anyway, no Thai could do something like that. ." Isn't this phrase getting a bit old? Do YOU have ANY original thoughts? Yes I agree. How about admitting that we are totally incompetent, couldn't care less about foreign nationals and give ourselves a big pat on the back when we crack the case of course.

Prbkk Posted February 5, 2016 Share Posted February 5, 2016 (edited) So they have a named suspect - but where's the photo of the guy? Why not make it public? Yes, the pictures are on TNN., one at immigration and the other at an ATM( in the latter he is trying to disguise by wearing glasses and a high collar shirt to cover what appears to be a tattoo of Angkor Wat). then again in a wanted poster Edited February 5, 2016 by Prbkk Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

bannork Posted February 5, 2016 Share Posted February 5, 2016 "...might be assisted by some locals." ?? Boy, they have sanitized that theory right quick. From an earlier story and direct quote by Chief Investigator Police.Gen. Panya Maman: “We tend to believe there were Thai nationals involved since the murder was so outrageous.” http://www.khaosodenglish.com/detail.php?newsid=1454582453&typecate=06§ion= Well I've read that article in Thai on The Daily News website and the Thai Rath website and from what I read Panya said he suspected the mastermind(s) are Spanish but Thais may have assisted in driving vehicles, taking out money from ATMs etc, nothing about saying Thais must be involved because it's so outrageous. He mentions it's a brutal murder which must have involved somewhere between 2 to 10 people. If someone can send me a link in Thai where he says that I'd be grateful.

The girl in the photo from the last update, suggests that the police still do... Isn't that a bunny rabbit charade?

Walter Travolta Posted February 5, 2016 Share Posted February 5, 2016 I don't see how they have planned this in every detail? 1) they didn't bother adding weight to the body parts ensuring that they would not resurface 2) it looks like he was kidnapped whilst entering his condo. No cctv footage? 3) no cctv footage at the banks or ATMs? Poor guy obviously didn't know about keying in his PIN code in reverse to alert authorities RIP Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
