rooster59 Posted May 10, 2020 Share Posted May 10, 2020 Spanish man charged with murdering Chilean on Koh Phangan Image: Thairath A Spanish man has been arrested after allegedly murdering a Chilean man on Koh Phangan. Police said they were called to a house in Ban Tai at 1am on Saturday morning. Inside they found signs of a struggle and the body of the 41 year old Chilean man, who had suffered multiple stab wounds and still with a knife lodged in his chest, Manager reported. Police sealed off the scene to prohibit anyone from entering the property and using an interpreter spoke to the deceased man’s Chinese wife who lived with him at the rented house. The man’s wife, who was treated for shock, said she and her husband were sleeping when they were woken by banging on the front door. Her husband answered the door and was met by the suspect who launched what appeared to be an unprovoked attack. There was a struggle and the Spanish man stabbed the Chilean man several times before fleeing on a motorbike. The deceased man’s wife said she did not know if the two men had any prior disagreements. The suspect was later arrested after he crashed his motorbike into a ditch while being chased by police. Manager reported that during the interrogation, the suspect gave confusing statements about killing someone. The Spanish man has been charged with murder, posssesion of a weapon in public and theft. Police said the man was also involved in three other cases regarding the theft of motorbikes on the island. Police said they are waiting for the results of DNA tests as part of their investigation.

Popular Post Kaopad999 Posted May 10, 2020 Popular Post Share Posted May 10, 2020 (edited) Thailand really needs to start screening foreigners properly before entering the country. There are far too many cases like this. The other week it was that nutcase from Northern Ireland who butchered that poor girl to death Pattaya and now this... The fact is, pretty much anyone one with a criminal background can so easily enter this country. Peado's, rapists, murderers, drugs dealers, con artists, you name it there are loads of them out here.

It's very common for people to be released from prison to then re-offend Here are some statistics in the UK https://assets.publishing.service.gov.uk/government/uploads/system/uploads/attachment_data/file/832662/proven_reoffending_bulletin_July_to_Sept_17.pdf Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

The severity of their past crimes is surely an important thing to consider. If for example that person was imprisoned for a couple of petty crimes, then maybe they should be given a chance, but i personally think for people that have committed a serious crime in the past such a murder, rape of an adult or child, then no, i do not believe that they should be allowed to travel.

Popular Post Neeranam Posted May 10, 2020 Popular Post Share Posted May 10, 2020 (edited) This island has always had its share of nuts. When I lived there in 1992, when the full moon parties were getting popular, 200 people on the main beach, there were drugs openly sold. I knew one guy who was decapitated by a sword. My best childhood friend had his bungalow on the beach burned down when he inside at 4 am and had to escape the island on a fishing boat.

Some come to Thailand because things are getting "too hot" because of their criminal background in their own country. As has already been said, it is too easy to get here. 3 1 Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

When I arrived here in Thailand in February my fingerprints were taken so screening is taking place,. Sadly if your not a wanted man I’m presuming your not going to get arrested,. However with the finger prints being taken and computers widely available I’m sure the Thai authorities know if you have a criminal record. When younger was convicted of drugs ! It’s on my record so I’m not allowed into America .. many people who arrive on long stays have to apply for visas in there own country before traveling ‘ those who arrive for say 30 days are not going through any Chanel’s which in my eyes make it difficult for authorities to refuse you entry.

Phil McCaverty Posted May 10, 2020 Share Posted May 10, 2020 6 minutes ago, Steve Vincent said: I’m sure the Thai authorities know if you have a criminal record. Nope. They can't cross reference your fingerprints taken at immigration with records in your country. That would require a specific request by the Thai authorities to the authorities in your country. 2 Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Maybe that’s why crime is on the up here in Thailand Maybe they should do more “especially with perverts who abuse children as a small example !

Only in the tourist areas, most Thais are pretty decent people; a bit behind the times, maybe, Thailand reminds me a lot of the UK in my youth. As a Farang you're always going to be a bit of a mystery to them, like Poles, West Indians, Italians, etc, etc, were to me as a kid - exotic. 1 Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
mvdf Posted May 10, 2020 Share Posted May 10, 2020 A post-pandemic priority agenda should be to work towards linking all police databases and making them accessible to immigration authorities in every country. Only those who have something to hide would oppose this. 1 Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
