If they know this surely it cant be long before they arrest him? If they have his name, then as others have pointed out, all they need is his mothers address. 1 Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Sure the guy will have made a mental note already and will ditch the gun and pretend it was stolen. Most thais know not to take phones because from stories i have heard which i assume would be common practice is the police can get this info on anyone anytine regardless of court orders. Just another way to watch the sometimes innocent like these stupid police boxes on every street corner. Purpose is watching and control. Actually surprised no one tried to follow this guy. I know i would atleast try from a safe a distance as possible or taken him out while riding by kicking his bars. ...Im surprised also how he was able to walk through the doors of this mall clad in balaclava and waving this firearm about...sort of stands out...and not one Brave-heart in sight before/during/after this terrible event. 2 1 Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

superal Posted January 14, 2020 Share Posted January 14, 2020 I am intrigued by the use of a silencer . Who uses them , the military or public firing ranges ? Even if they know his identity he could be well gone a few days ago both legally or otherwise . May not be Thai , so could be difficult to trace . CCTV cameras are every where in the UK but in Thailand often poorly maintained . These type of robberies are often rehearsed or the premises cased out a few days before and the villains identity is exposed and captured on CCTV . Pro villains do not carry mobile phones as their tracibility is as good as a set of fingerprints . Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Good point... I was thinking along the same lines. The police say they're checking CCTV at many locations after the event... this guy didn't pick this place at random, he knew it well, location, entry exit etc and must have done a few walk-by's in the previous days to select the best time of day to do it! I would check all CCTV within or around that mall over the previous month! 1 Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Popular Post hotchilli Posted January 14, 2020 Popular Post Share Posted January 14, 2020 7 hours ago, webfact said: Meanwhile, a news source who has military expertise, said that in his opinion the gunman in this case probably had extensive training in shooting and gun control, since a gun equipped with a silencer would be harder to control than normal guns and is more prone to jamming if the shooter is not experienced enough Complete garbage. A handgun fitted with a moderator is infinitely easier to handle than one without due to greatly reduced recoil, especially when fired one handed as in this case, adding that the extra length poses no problem as the firearm was drawn at all times. As for jamming that's pure rubbish too, the "shooter" has no control over jamming... if the gun is cleaned and the moderator is fitted correctly it will function perfectly regardless of experience! 4 Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Popular Post Mansell Posted January 14, 2020 Popular Post Share Posted January 14, 2020 Some people on here making lame comments about the police. The guy was covered from head to toe, very difficult to I.D. somebody like this. It looks like they are being very comprehensive and covering all their bases in finding this murderer. They will find him eventually....a lot of resources are being used to find this scumbag. Most criminals are not the smartest pigs in the sty....at some point he will have slipped up. If he had no phone, the motor scooter is the next clue unless it was stolen, and the gun and the ammo....they are checking gun clubs and shooting ranges. This doesn’t sound like Keystone Cops to me. I think it will be resolved in another week or less. 4 1 Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

notasmartassknowitallfarag Posted January 14, 2020 Share Posted January 14, 2020 He first shot a random guy standing in the mall entrance, then the two people buying gold, then the gold saleswoman, and a boy of 2 and then killed a defenceless security guard who had jumped to the ground in KFC. This is a bizarre case as he basically just starting shooting everyone & anyone indiscriminately and didn’t actually take too much gold. Hence why there could be more to this then meets the eye. The couple buying gold were prominent business people, nevertheless, hypothetically if it was to do with them, how would he know exactly the right second to make a fake gold shop robbery while they were there. This was well planned, as normally the Thai cops catch the offenders easily as they have not covered their face properly or not hidden their bike plate. 1 Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

I recall an incident with a very similar modus operandi a few years ago. Guy walks into a gold shop and shoots some person in cold blood. Maybe a security guy , I don't remember but certainly not someone trying to be a hero. No idea if he was caught. Maybe the same person? 1 Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

The only one he can be certain is going to be in their normal location is the salesperson in the gold shop . He could have checked out the gold shop salespersons routine on a previous visit and as it was nearly closing time figured she wouldn’t be on break etc. This is of course working on the assumption that it was a “ hit “ and not a robbery, the other unfortunate victims were probably in the wrong place at the wrong time. Checking cctv in all the mall going ack as far as possible is hopefully ongoing, he does have a distinctive walk although the backpack slung low in front of him might have contributed to that.

Maybe no legal obligation but at least a moral obligation you don't think if you go in a shopping mall it's the responsability of the center to assure you will be safe during your shopping? I recognize you can't prevent everything, and this brutal and lethal action is very difficult to counter, but still the moral obligation is here imo Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
