Police to probe money trails of bar girls in murder and body dismemberment case

 

 

BANGKOK: -- The Royal Thai Police has ordered Khon Kaen provincial police to check the finances of one of the three bar girls involved in the murder and dismemberment of the body of another bar girl to see if she was engaged in drug trafficking.

 

Suspected to have link to narcotics trade is Ms Kavita Rachada or Earn.

 

The order was given by the deputy commissioner Pol Gen Chalermkiat Srivorakan following the discovery of out-of-ordinary cash flows in and out of Earn’s bank accounts.

 

Earn is among three bar girls arrested by Myanmar police and handed over to Thai police in Chiang Rai province.

 

Two other girls are Ms Preeyanut Nonwangchai or Priew, and Ms Apiwan Satayabundit or Jae.

 

The three girls were accused of cooperating with two others, now detained, in murdering Ms Warisara Klinjui, or Nong Am, and chopped her bodies in pieces and buried her in a secluded roadside bushes in Khao Suan Kwang district of Khon Kaen province on May 23.

 

According to the deputy commissioner of the Royal Thai Police, Earn’s bank accounts show extraordinary cash flows averaging 1 million baht and in some months as much as 2 million baht.

 

This unusual cash flow indicated that she might either engage in drug or contraband smuggling, he said.

 

Earlier the Royal Thai Police and the Office of the Narcotics Control Board gave conflicting information on the involvement in drugs of the three girls.

 

ONCB secretary general Sirinya Sithichai said confidential probe showed one suspect Priew was engaged in international drug trafficking ring.

 

Although there is no strong evidence, officials are conducting confidential probe into her money trail.

 

Meanwhile the Anti-Money Laundering Office (AMLO) has also been asked to carry out a background check back to 2014 to uncover any possible links to narcotics or contraband.

I tell you what - there are no flies on the police here. Brilliant idea this.

Lets see! There were 90 cops on the handover of the three girls by the Mynamar Police who made the arrest..

Now we need to check one of the girls bank accounts. I think 30 of RTP's finest can handle that job. What do you think? Do we need a photo OP after the 30 go to the banks? Of course, they will need a photo for their Family Police Photo Album! Amazing Thailand.

Could you imagine if ever cop was checked here like how they can afford fancy cars houses aptments it would be Amazing Thailand and how a Big General had over 9 million dollars not to mention the province Government bosses TIT

[gk10002000]

hard to launder money if the banks do not cooperate.  1 million baht or 30,000 USD a month or more each month.  I doubt there are any laws on the books requiring banks to report suspicious  or large transactions in a given period of time?

[Thingamabob]

Much more to this case than we are being told. Some big names involved.

Kind of goes without saying doesn't it?
