David Miller & Hannah Witheridge murdered on Thailand Island

Thailand is Cambodia's neighbor to the West, and this forum is dedicated to Thai news, stories, reviews, blogs, videos, Thai people and anything else related to the country. A lot of expats have both lived and worked in Cambodia and Thailand, and this area is a place to discuss all aspects of life in Thailand and what's going on there. Most topics are about Bangkok and Pattaya because of their larger populations of expatriates and tourists in those cities, but this is for all things Thai.

Looks like one suspect was given a four day head start to hide.

Of course, he's the headman's son. This became a nice business opportunity for the BIB. From what I've read, everybody on the island knew who did it the 1st morning, the negotiations began, & the case & evidence intentionally muddled.

Yes, that's a good read. So the Feudal system is intact. Mafia or Royal system rewards the perpetrators

and fucks the victims. :popcorn:

:) brilliant...

sean mcanna (the one, who was supposed to meet the victim DM that night but missed him allegedly, and who is known as the "guitarman" on the island, which was seen early morning at the crime scene, according to reports) was said to have a pedophile conviction for downloading...
his sister commented on this newspaper article.

The police told us that Sean had never searched for anything like that in the 4 years of the computers history. It was once and clearly an accident as deleted right away. Regardless of the circumstances you are still guilty of downloading it. there was nothing else there & no searches.

- mysterious key witness has watched the murder
- it was a foreigner(s?)

Key witness says foreigner kills British tourists

KOH TAO: -- Eighth Region Police Command commissioner says police investigators have obtained a key witness who said foreigner killed the two British tourists in Koh Tao island.

The latest twist in the investigation was revealed Saturday by commissioner Pol Lt Gen Panya Mamen.

The Nation Online website quoted Pol Lt Gen Panya Manen as telling the online newspapers today that the team of police investigators have met a key witness who claimed seeing foreigner killed the two tourists.

No further details were produced as to whether the witness is a male or female or the witness is a local or a foreigner, and how many were involved in the murder of the two foreigners.

But this latest disclosure, if confirmed, will be a significant turn of the probe which earlier focused only on locals and migrant workers after DNA testing revealed the mixed semen found inside Ms Hannah Witheridge belonged to Asians.

More than 300 migrant workers and locals were rounded up to have their DNA samples tested. But none has matched DNA found in her body.

The disclosure of the key witness who the police still kept confidential would give new clue to the brutal murder of Ms Hannah and her friend David Miller.
