ezzra Posted December 5, 2019 Share Posted December 5, 2019 so many question marks with this story, why would anyone sings at 4 am and disturb other guests, how can anyone storm into locked hotel room strangle a man and no one calls for help? and why the police has to take the time and think weather it was a murder, natural death or a suicide?...

You're omitting manslaughter from your choices. And since it looks like it would be manslaughter or murder, a decision not always easy to make, that is important.

If someone was singing on a hotel balcony at 4am, I think it quite likely that at least one of the nearby guests would be disturbed and open the hotel door to go into the corridor before knocking on the door of the person causing the disturbance. If someone is the type of person who thinks nothing of disturbing others at 4am (perhaps through alcohol, perhaps not) then I think it's likely that a confrontation would ensue, escalating into violence. Perhaps the other guests were heavy sleepers, didn't want to get involved. Someone called the police, I'm sure. I'm also sure that the arrested guy had a story different to what actually happened, maybe claimed self defence and said the other guy attacked him, we don't know...

The original report stated that he was singing and drunk on the balcony, the British man complained. The drunk man jumped from one balcony to the next and attacked him. Wife ran out of the room and screamed for help but before any help arrived he was dead. the question as another poster has mentioned is how on earth he managed to get let out on bail, how on earth he was able to leave the country and what efforts are being made to bring him back to face charges. I guess lots of people will have their theories on these matters. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

klauskunkel Posted December 6, 2019 Share Posted December 6, 2019 from the full story: "She was shocked and very upset when she learned that Bullman had been freed on bail and feared he would disappear… and he did just that. If only the Thai police had given more thought about releasing him, he would have been before a judge now and the case would have proceeded." The Thai police is true to their standard.

intheheartoftheheart Posted December 6, 2019 Share Posted December 6, 2019 They spotted him at the Hanoi embassy apparently looking for a replacement passport.

bangkoken Posted December 6, 2019 Share Posted December 6, 2019 It seems there are so many homicide investigations in Thailand that just do not end well. They had the suspect in custody, they had an eye witness and then the suspect doesn't show up for court. What's wrong with this picture? What was the suspect doing being free to begin with when he killed someone? A murder suspect just seems to vanish. It seems the Thai Police need an overhaul in their methods of investigation, apprehension and the holding onto of suspects. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
intheheartoftheheart Posted December 6, 2019 Share Posted December 6, 2019 Sorry, 4 border checks without a passport? Assume he went through Cambodia? Thailand exit Cambodia entry Cambodia exit Vietnam entry I'd understand sneaking over one border, but 4? Seems impossible. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Why not use Google? You will find tens of articles from August-September about this story. And BTW the attacker was first charged for "fatal physical assault". It's what changed today.
