Dad-of-two Luke Ramage, 31, who is feared to have been murdered, had arrived in Thailand just hours earlier. He was found sprawled on his bed. There was bruising around his shoulders and legs and sign of a fight. His luggage was still packed and the room’s safe was open. There were no valuables inside and cigarette packs were scattered on the floor. Police say a friend of Luke, of Consett, Co Durham, raised the alarm at the Bavana Hotel — then vanished.

worgeordie Posted December 17, 2018 Share Posted December 17, 2018 RIP, Geordie lad, never even had time to unpack the suitcase, I hope they find the killer and gets whats coming to him. regards worgeordie Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
CharlieH Posted December 17, 2018 Share Posted December 17, 2018 If he hadnt unpacked, its doubtful the safe was even used and was in its usual position when entering the room. Sad, but whoever it was reported it, and then disappeared needs to be found. Maybe hotel CCTV can help with that. Poor bloke, and leaves two children behind, tragic!

Denim Posted December 17, 2018 Share Posted December 17, 2018 Red Light District hotel Typical Sun reporting. Is there a hotel in Bangkok that is not 30 minutes from a red light district of some sort ? I guess the police will have to make another ' Thailand is safe ' announcement .

notasmartassknowitallfarag Posted December 17, 2018 Share Posted December 17, 2018 Strange one this. Friend reports it and then disappears. Mere bruising on shoulders and legs leads to death? Lots more to be invistigated yet before any conclusions can be drawn. RIP. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Most lightly he booked the room when he first arrived ..put valuables in the safe, didn't bother unpacking and went straight to the pub ...

remorhaz Posted December 17, 2018 Share Posted December 17, 2018 I'm sure the police will find the foreigner responsible for this heinous crime in due course. Fortunately for TAT no Thai citizen would ever do something like this over money. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

cyberfarang Posted December 17, 2018 Share Posted December 17, 2018 Very strange. Guy arrives at the hotel, not even unpacked yet, safe broken into, friend reports the guy has a problem and then vanishes. Here`s one for Sherlock Holmes. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

NextStationBangkok Posted December 17, 2018 Share Posted December 17, 2018 I feel some pretty lured him online, to get killed for valuables. With security cameras around, i sure not that difficult to find the culprit. I am wondering where are are "Green" Light districts in Bangkok ?

IMO , He had just arrived and planned to spend alot of time in Asia , he may have been carrying a lot of money . Was the "friend" staying in the other room a friend , or just a random person staying in the hotel ? The "friend " knew that he was carrying cash and decided to rob him , he didnt mean to kill him , if he did mean to kill him, he wouldnt have informed the hotel staff . If the thief just wanted to steal , he would have opened the suitcase to see whether there was any valuables inside . Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

wvavin Posted December 17, 2018 Share Posted December 17, 2018 I am waiting for which police officer is making an announcement that Thailand is a very safe place for tourists? This time is even faster because the victim did not even have time to unpack the luggage. I reckon the next foreigner's body probably inside a car on the way to the hotel...LOL Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
