Kho Tao 'Interpreter' - Dead, apparent poisoning

[GuestHouse]

News drifting in from a couple of Thai language sources that the police 'interpreter' for the recent and natorious case of the double murder of two British citizens on the island of Kho Tao, died last night in an apparent case if poisining.

The descriptions given of his final moments are not at all pleasent, so I'm not repeating here.

Thanks for dropping the teaser and leaving out all the best parts. I'd say more but it would be not at all pleasant.

It's extremely difficult to make a comment on this without disrespecting the dead, so I'll leave it at that.

Maybe you could post a link. Seeing how you've already brought the subject to light

Two possibilities:

Revenge for what was done to the B2.

Or the real killers decided he knew too much.

The latter would be the normal M.O. in Thailand. The murder of Kobkul Nopamornbodee springs to mind.

Burmese did it..

Doubt he will be the last. What happened to the guy who is thought to have gone back to Myanmar !

You mean Maung Maung who police initially said confessed along with the B2? Maung Maung who police denied permission for the Burmese legal team to talk to when he was held at a 'safe house'? What has happened to him? Good question. Many would like to know the answer to that.

Amazing how some latch on to an un-evidenced post as representing the "truth"

Unless the OP can evidence his post it amounts to nothing more than rumour.

I'm happy enough to disrespect the dead. Good, one down but still plenty more to go.

We can just pray that Buddha hears us and moves a few more of these scumbags on.

The plot thickens. I wonder how many more will die on death island before it`s decided enough is enough and close the whole lot down?

This is more then just coincidences, accidentals, cover ups and skulduggery. Believe or don`t believe, there are evil forces at work in that place and I wouldn`t visit there even for free.

Did he sample one of his own roti's?

Seemed like an unsavoury character anyway. Either bumped off to shut him up before the appeal or Burmese revenge. Probably the latter as I think he was complicit in the torture.

Until there are reports in an English language media I'm shutting this down before the speculation gets out of hand. Will leave it to the News team to decide on adding the story.
