coma Posted September 30, 2012 Share Posted September 30, 2012 Thai News is reporting a Foreigners body has been found in dense bushland close to a road in Saraburi province, Thailand today. It appears the victim was shot in the head and then dumped by a shallow ' grave'. The victim is discribed as a white male, 40-50 years old and approximatley 170 cm. Found wearing only a pair of blue underwear and a watch. No ID documents or other personal items were discovered therefore authorities are trying to determine who the deceased is. Just thought I would get this info out to all members. Does anybody else have any news or info on the above incident that is going to air now ?

Colabamumbai Posted September 30, 2012 Share Posted September 30, 2012 (edited) The police think he was killed elsewhere and dumped there. Girlfriend just translated from Thai Rath for me. My speculation the scene looked pretty clean aside from the body. Maybe police speculation also. Edited September 30, 2012 by Colabamumbai Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

hellodolly Posted September 30, 2012 Share Posted September 30, 2012 My regrets to those who knew him and were related to him I mean no disrespect but I honestly feel the following. Great just what we need in Chiang Mai. We already have a thread going for getting and carrying a concealed gun for Farongs. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

coma Posted September 30, 2012 Author Share Posted September 30, 2012 At this stage we only have Thai language news coming out. From said sources : The deceased was found around 11 am today. Police believe he was shot elsewhere and then moved to and dumped next to a pre-dug shallow grave by 2 or 3 assailants [ maybe they were disturbed as they didn't use said grave]. They [police ] determined this because the body was man carried a distance of 80 metres from where vehicle tracks of a suspect vehicle were found. They also found 1 shoe/ sandle near the body and have taken it as evidence. Other sources are reporting that a police officer stated that he is of the belief that the killer/s led the victim to the area in an attempt to clear a personal matter. When this failed he was shot, killed and then stripped of his belongings to slow down identification and hinder the police investigation. Let's hope the BIB get to the bottom of this ASAP. I guess English media will be picking up the story when the BIB estabilsh the victims identity. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
sirchai Posted September 30, 2012 Share Posted September 30, 2012 Sad news. My feelings go to the family and friends of the deceased. Hope they find out who he is and who it did. Not too many more smiles in the Land of Smiles these days. Even Thais don't understand the different meanings of their own smiles anymore. An Army guy wanted to kill me a few years ago, he said I scared him. Didn't even look at him, my good luck was that I was there with my Thai friend who was also a soldier. Without him would have been a different story. Would any of the Karaoke girls have seen the guy who shot me dead? I doubt it. I'm trying to avoid to drive around in town at night, it's a fact that life became more dangerous all over this country. It's sometimes pretty bad to be at the wrong time at the wrong place.------- 1 Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Popular Post timewilltell Posted September 30, 2012 Popular Post Share Posted September 30, 2012 Is it me or are stories of this nature getting more frequent. Thai Society seems to be descending onto a slippery slope with the Rule of Law openly ignored by the rich and influential with them not even bothering any more to try to conceal it. It is almost reverse anarchy where those in power run amok. With role models such as those running the country, the military, the police and just about every other service or agency run by the local or national government, what hope is there that the general low level population will give a dam_n about the law either. Thais accept so many things in their society now, two faced attitudes, corruption rampant with some reports of 60% of government funded schemes going into the pockets of the politicians and government officials, lousy education and a million other things. Murder should not be added to the list of things a blind eye is turned to. I hope this case is investigated with vigour and vigilance and not just left in a file to gather dust because it earns the police no money. I hope the family of this man finds closure and him peace. There but for the grace of God go I - I wonder how long His grace will last sometimes. 5 Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

There seems to be plenty of farang on farang violence these days as well if you read the local papers. 4 Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

khaowong1 Posted September 30, 2012 Share Posted September 30, 2012 Farang who got in the way of a Thai. When did foreigner mean "falang" In Thailand, most times, farang is interpreted as, white caucasian. Not always, but most of the time. Sometimes it is interpreted as foreigner, usually a white foreigner. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Popular Post Pui Posted September 30, 2012 Popular Post Share Posted September 30, 2012 (edited) At the risk of sounding nieve. If he was indeed dragged/carried 80m to a shallow grave there would be forensic evidence everywhere. Hope they get the people that did this. As for the post from timewilltell. Quote Murder should not be added to the list of things a blind eye is turned to. The murder rate is actually very high in Thailand but it doesn't often involve foreigners. unlike other countries i.e. Philippines for example the Police will get involved and will likely catch the people that did this. I've been here 10 years and on the whole feel pretty safe. Edited September 30, 2012 by Pui 6 Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Popular Post MILT Posted September 30, 2012 Popular Post Share Posted September 30, 2012 RIP! There is nothing to suggest who killed this person. Thai or non-Thai. More will be revealed once the investigators can ID this person and then the investigation will continue. Until more information is released can the Thai bashers hold their pen's. I know you all have the right to spew your bashings and I try my best to scroll away from the usual diatribe. The only thing I am afraid of in Thailand is biting into a chili by mistake. 3 Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

There are plenty of white farang doing dodgy deals here as well, just look towards Pattaya for one such place. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
