outsider Posted March 10, 2017 Share Posted March 10, 2017 "Also some CCTV that could throw light on the movements of Valentina is missing after a machine failed to record." Haven't we all heard that load of <deleted> before. Hoping against all hopes, that this girl will be found alive somewhere. Wherever. On a separate note, why do people still go to places like Koh Tao? Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
dick dasterdly Posted March 10, 2017 Share Posted March 10, 2017 10 minutes ago, Khun Han said: Exactly. Just for the accreditation of breaking the record alone. Diving/free-diving/snorkeling record was never about to be broken by a young woman with no back-up or evidence to support the claim. Is there any evidence she claimed this in the first place? If she did, (repeat repeat) she would have known that evidence would be required. No chance she was about to beat the diving or free-diving world record - so even if cyberfarang is right in that she said she was going to beat the "world record", perhaps she meant personal record? Which again brings us back to a boat to take her out to deep water. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

rkidlad Posted March 10, 2017 Share Posted March 10, 2017 58 minutes ago, cyberfarang said: I heard the girl told people she was an experienced diver and was going to dive deeper than anyone has attempted before to make a world record. If analysed in detail there is nothing strange about the deaths on Koh Tao. The murdered British couple were on the beach when tragically for them they were seen and set upon by a gang and decided to rape the girl. Tourists visiting Thailand can be naive and vulnerable and often get themselves into situations they can`t handle. I have seen Farlang women in tourist beach areas dressed in nothing but boob tubes and throngs, even topless and making out with guys for all and sundry to see. I wonder how many tourists have been killed in motorbike accidents over the last 10 years and died from excessive use of drugs and strong alcoholic drinks? For some reasons many tourists visiting Thailand believe that safety procedures and other measures they should take to keep themselves from harm does not count in Thailand. It is no wonder that so many come a cropper in Thailand. They are like children left to their own devices without supervision from their parents and as we know children that play with fire get burned. For all you budding conspiracy theorists out there, I cannot see anything mysterious about the deaths in Koh Tao. You do realise that the first paragraph of your reply is a conspiracy theory? Anywho, have a look at who liked your post. That will tell you all you need to know about yourself and how others view you on Thai visa. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

webfact Posted March 10, 2017 Author Share Posted March 10, 2017 Suspected human flesh pieces and diver’s mask tested for DNA KOH TA: -- Divers searching for the missing Russian free diver have found two pieces of what were believed to be human flesh, a diver’s mask and a green tank top under the sea about 400 metres from the coast of Ao Chaloke Ban Gao on Koh Tao. All the items salvaged from the seabed at about 4-5 metres deep were on Friday flown in a police helicopter from Koh Tao to the Forensic Institute of the Police General Hospital for DNA tests to determine whether the DNA specimen match with that of the missing Russian woman. The Koh Tao inquiry police officers in charge of the case were also flown in the same helicopter to meet with Pol Maj-Gen Apichart Boonsrirote, commander of Surat Thani provincial police. Informed police source said that result of the tests would be available within a week. Despite the finding of the items, Pol Lt-Col Chokechai Sutthimek, superintendent of Koh Tao police, said that the search would continue with two teams of divers being assigned to scour the sea off Aao Chaloke Ban Gao. He said police would not rule out any possibilities of disappearance, including murder.

irishken Posted March 10, 2017 Share Posted March 10, 2017 I'm seen visions of a sweaty police chief standing beside a long tail boat with a damaged propeller, while been surrounded by some dodgy looking "Thai mafia" to make sure what he says goes to plan. right now the script is been written for this one.

Sunderland Posted March 10, 2017 Share Posted March 10, 2017 How was the flip-flop connected to this? 1. It is highly unlikely someone would go diving in a pair of flip-flops. 2. If someone was wearing flip-flops, they would have to be rather careless to fall into water at that depth. Abandoned flip-flops can be found on every beach in Thailand and just about every street in Bangkok. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

I think you will find the Burmese on the islands can't afford the ferry, let alone a plane ticket! However I take your point. No doubt the Burmese on the island will be very worried indeed. Whatever is the outcome to this, I will have no confidence in the "conclusion" arrived at. Smoke and mirrors is Thailand's mantra, or is it secrets and lies? Either will do.

ianf Posted March 10, 2017 Share Posted March 10, 2017 So The Burmese two have been sentenced to death for killings that they did not do. Meanwhile, people, in particular pretty young farang blondes, are still dying on Koh Tao. Is there someone in a position of authority in Thailand who is able to add 2 and 2 together and make 4? Because to me the appeal court was out of order to uphold the sentence on the Burmese 2, and if they needed any more evidence this death must be a pointer. But perhaps money is still talking?

Nigeone Posted March 10, 2017 Share Posted March 10, 2017 (edited) Woke to see this thread !! Sadly if only the B2 farce had been investigated properly we wouldn't be here now with so much speculation. Speed boat wouldn't chop a body up into loads of parts and it would be easy to arrive at a likely type of instrument that did. Nobody ,well almost nobody is surprised I feel at this latest find , very sad . Of course it might not be the girl they've been looking for but again it comes back to the complete incompetance demonstrated previously why such speculation abounds Edited March 10, 2017 by Nigeone Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Maybe the CCTV will be found in a watery grave! Oh, sorry, it wasn't working at a crucial time - what a surprise! If it was it would probably be claimed as "personal property" of some bigwig!

tukkytuktuk Posted March 10, 2017 Share Posted March 10, 2017 This was apparently on Channel 3 early morning, breakfast time today. I would like to say to a moderator that this is what they showed on National News this morning it does have some Thai commentary etc but very good footage. I also understand the other side of the argument. If it was my daughter on breakfast tv showing her bones floating around. Well... If you think it should be deleted then delete and I'm sorry to have posted it. I just think that this should be shown. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
