CHONBURI — Police said Wednesday they have yet to determine a motive or perpetrator behind the slaying of a British expat near the resort town of Pattaya.

 

Tony Kenway, 39, was shot dead at point blank range in broad daylight as he sat in his car in the Bang Lamung district on Tuesday. Police described Kenway as a British national who lived in the Jomtien neighborhood and made a living in Thailand as a website designer.

 

“We have no information [about the motive] so far,” Jirawut Tanthasri, chief of Nong Prue police, told reporters. “We are collecting information. We are questioning his wife and his team.”

The one pointing the finger at a suspect is the one who might have something to hide.

Both his facebook and his wives are still up , the police should try to go through all the history there first .  

 

I think it will be hard to catch the killer , a local hitman or a foreigner?

Now I see that his company wasn't just creating websites - it dealt extensively in VOIP, IP PBXs and SIP solutions, which is exactly the type of telecoms/IP infrastructure that boiler rooms use to 'call' their 'victims overseas.

 

Just saying...

What do they say when they call their "victims" overseas? Send me money? And then sometimes the victim blames the boiler room and hires a hit man to kill said operator? I thought most with money were beyond these sort of scams.

That his job was setting up, and providing technical support for.......... boiler rooms?

Not one of the boiler room victims.

 

A "business associate".

What is the link between this company and the guy? The website and facebook page dont mention him as owner. How is known that this is his company ?

updates in other sites show photo of the two guys leaving the murder scene on a bike, they have been identified and they have fled to cambodia.

RIP.

 

One second you are alive getting in your Porsche and the next second you are dead.

Horrible.

 

According to other news sources, he has met the people we can't talk about and drives a Porsche?

 

And he is assassinated at point blank range in a very calm and professional hit?

 

" Kenway's wife Somporn told police her husband had set up a company doing website design at Jomtien Beach."

 

"Somporn told reporters Tuesday that he had no history of conflict with anyone, thought she mentioned he had a “business dispute” with a former company partner."

 

the plot thickens...

The same thing happened to a Kiwi boiler room boy a decade ago in Bangkok.  An American former partner in the same boiler room was extradited from the US accused of masterminding the hit but strangely was acquitted due to lack of evidence.
