If you want a crime solved and justice......do not expect if from the Thai "police" and courts. You kill someone in Australia, the Judge will let you out on bail, so you can do it again.

Yeah well just because you type it out, it doesn't make it true. No it isn't normal in Thailand. Farangs are not gunned down or pushed over balconies every day. Sure, some farang losers jump when they (or more likely their finances can't cut it in Thailand) and some farangs, like this one by all accounts, are just involved in dodgy business with criminals. The boiler room angle was mentioned quite early on by the cops suggesting he and/or those he worked with were "acquainted" with law enforcement.

Straight8 Posted January 25, 2017 Share Posted January 25, 2017 8 hours ago, mstevens said: There are a few points that strike me as suspicious about this story. If the victim ran a web design company, why is the name of the company not mentioned? A web design business is a perfectly clean and legitimate business and there would appear no reason why the business has not been named. When the name of a business is not mentioned when the owner is killed in this sort of fashion, that can be cause for suspicion. The victim drove a Porsche in Thailand. That is a very expensive car in Thailand. I am taking a long bow here but boiler room are known to own exotic European cars. Glendon Bullard who was reported dead a couple of years ago was a boiler room operator who owned a Porsche, a Ferarri, a Lamborghini and motorbikes. There are two Brits living in Sukhumvit who are often accused of involvement with boiler rooms, one of whom owns a Rolls Royce and the other a Ferrari. The victim was killed in Pattaya where he was said to be based. Everyone knows what Pattaya is about. It's the Wild West of Thailand and attracts a certain element. If the victim was a genuine businessman running a legitimate business, why is there not more out there on the net about him? If he owned a Porsche in Thailand, he was rather successful. If you Google him you get precious little about him and nothing about his business. So all of this might be nothing, but combined together it would appear suspicious. It would be very easy to run a full investigation on him to find out how valid the claims are he was a web designer. Surely his accounts, money transfers, dealings connections, are all inter-connected, this would determine a lot of who this man was and how he came to have this level of wealth, porches aint cheap, especially in Thailand. That means a bit of work for Thai's finest, if they gave a flying f*** at all!! Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

I think probably he has been involved in some kind of crime else why should they just shoot him dead? May be he has been asked to give them some protection money and he didn't , as he was driving Porsche so may be he is a rich guy It was a set up this they were waiting for him they knew were he was and a motor bike was waiting for the killer. If they were after the porche they would have taken it but to walk up to someone in broad daylight with a gun and shoot a person can only say it was planned Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

juice777 Posted January 25, 2017 Share Posted January 25, 2017 The way the assailant was waiting and observing his hit. The killers timing was executed very well this was no amateur. Two shots to the head. Definitely a pro .....me thinks Apart from he left a cigarette at the scene and got caught on CTTV don't sound very professional to me. But definitely a paid hit.

They would in my opinion be able to establish he was a legit businessman or not. Any smart investigate would be able uncover alot about this situation, especially now he us unable to move fund, cover his tracks, delete records etc etc. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Zikomat Posted January 25, 2017 Share Posted January 25, 2017 The quality of CCTV footage is still very low in most of the cases. Even in a daylight you don't get a clear image of the suspect's face.

khunpa Posted January 25, 2017 Share Posted January 25, 2017 Happy I live a normal life with no need for a luxury lifestyle and having to cheat money from others to keep the lifestyle. What was it all worth for this guy now? Feel sorry for the kids and his wife, who are now left to take care of themselves. I am sure, they would have preferred him to be around and could have done without all the luxury. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
