Popular Post webfact Posted January 19, 2020 Popular Post Share Posted January 19, 2020 Suspect in Lop Buri gold shop shooting questioned by Nong Khai police A man has been summoned for questioning by police in Thailand’s north-eastern province of Nong Khai, as they suspect he might be the person who shot and killed three people, including a two-year boy, and injured four others during a gold shop robbery in Lop Buri province on January 9th. National police chief, Pol Gen Chakthip Chaijinda, said today that the man, whose identity was not disclosed, matches the suspect’s profile, being of a similar height and seen carrying a red shoulder bag, similar to the one used by the robber. The Nong Khai police called the man in for questioning and collected a DNA sample, said the police chief, adding that, if the results of the tests exclude the individual as a suspect, he will be released.

Hope they had more than that to go on. Perhaps not as he was just summoned for questioning. They didn't execute the kill option. I wonder how they collected the killer's DNA. It should sort this guy out one way or another. 8 1 Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Popular Post Thaiwrath Posted January 19, 2020 Popular Post Share Posted January 19, 2020 "The deputy police chief, Pol Gen Chaiwat Kateworachai, meanwhile, asked the robber to turn himself in within 10 days, saying that he will be caught sooner or later." That old chestnut, expecting him to give himself up, after such a heinous crime. As history will prove, not every miscreant, who has been asked to surrender, does so ! 13 5 Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

"Summoned for questioning" ! If he is the shooter/murderer/robber, summonsing would seem to be the equivalent of "notice to run". Maybe this is a repeat of the Red Bull fiasco.

Popular Post CharlieH Posted January 19, 2020 Popular Post Share Posted January 19, 2020 Giving a "suspect" of triple murder 10 days to come in, in a border town where it takes 10 minutes to exit the country, good call. Can't be that much of a probability then can it, If they had anything to go on there would be Police everywhere looking for a photo Op with "we got him" and a nice big presentation board as usual. I think this is nothing more than a "seen to be doing" because they got nothing. Hope I am wrong. 29 3 1 Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Popular Post Grumpy John Posted January 19, 2020 Popular Post Share Posted January 19, 2020 I would wager a decent sum of money the real culprit is never caught.....but gambling is illegal in Thailand do I won't. And the red bag.....I feel safe in assuming there are many thousands like it all over the country. 7 1 1 Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Actually, they are probably hoping he does not give himself up since that would indicate that they have the right person. There is probably a good chance there is no DNA evidence -- it is just a bluff. 6 1 1 Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

I think this is nothing more than a "seen to be doing" because they got nothing. Hope I am wrong. If I remember right they have a kill order on the culprit... so if anyone who they 'suspect' does anything but come in for that interview... they would likely end up in a body bag with the police closing the case and claiming victory. This is why I consider the DNA evidence (which there likely isn't any) a bluff... if he runs... and does not get out of the country or tries to return to the country... he the order will go into effect. 2 Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Benmart Posted January 20, 2020 Share Posted January 20, 2020 So many experts who base their judgements and conclusions on a mere "story" from a "news source". This is Thailand and much of what seems real is an illusion. 1 1 Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Classic Ray Posted January 20, 2020 Share Posted January 20, 2020 DNA testing has progressed sufficiently that anything the robber touched may contain traces that can be matched.

Peterw42 Posted January 20, 2020 Share Posted January 20, 2020 (edited) I think you can take it as the 10 day ultimatum/DNA is a message to the people protecting the guy. Wife says its common knowledge that they know who did it but the guy is well connected/protected etc, so its a bit of a chess game going on so it doesn't become another red bull. Its not turn yourself in, its hand him over in 10 days. Edited January 20, 2020 by Peterw42 1 Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
nausea Posted January 20, 2020 Share Posted January 20, 2020 Similar height and a red bag, a bit of a tenuous connection to say the least - a sop for the media if you ask me, to give the appearance they're doing something. I still go for the gun nut with gambling debts from an influential family angle 1 Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Somtamnication Posted January 20, 2020 Share Posted January 20, 2020 Well, as an official TV investigator myself, I say that DNA has been taken at the scene of the crime ( counters, etc.) and only that will either convict or exonerate. 1 Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
