Two confess to killing Turkish tourist in Samui

[sambum 3,841]

At least and last RTP did take a stand and arrested the curlprits. Job well done . Ensuring proper justice will for sure make thailand a safer place, that's what I believe.

as already mentioned this guy was obviously a thug

In my books walking into the bar making demands with a gun in his belt and showing it (probably not the first time) is as good as taking it out and pointing it - although that part of the story is somewhat unclear as to whether they new he was carrying or not

what sort of place would Thailand be if every falang or wannabe falang thug was walking around with a gun hanging out of their waist band - I for one would not be living here

In saying that - the bar manager should have called the police and let them deal with it

They called the police many times and escorted him away

But he kept coming back

This is not the first time he made problems in the place he had many businesses on the island and was well known in the area

Looks like the this tried to cover it up but I don't think they were wrong I reckon they just had enough

If a Thai was to murder someone they would do 2 on a bike a professional hit

This was an argument whilst playing with drink, guns and probably more

Might be because of the gun laws in entertainment Venus

They might have been worried about the laws that say that you cannot have a firearm in any entertainment Venus more than the law about protecting their bar

Yes, a well known dubious character, with businesses on the island, so why do the headlines keep calling him a "Turkish tourist"?

I see so many comments looks like anti Thai politics anti Thai way of rule way of life. Why are you lot still here if it's that bad. Don't make any sense????

Well my understanding of life is, if you carry a gun around with you then you are probably not a good person, if you are carrying illegally, so no sympathy here from me, regardless of where you are from

[Travelman868 355]

BUT THEY planted the .38 on him to make it look that he was armed. THEY did not know he had a pistol Duh.

OR were they going to suggest he shot himself with the .38 and the guard though he would help him to do the job properly.

OR the Turkish man realised that the shotgun had blown his head off and did not want to be left disabled.

only in Thailand

[RAZZELL 453]

No explanation as to why the Turkish fella had the large amount of $$$ on him?

Drug dealer?

RAZZ

Maybe in this case he is a grub Razz, i know there are many bad farang here and if you live by he sword, you deserve to die by it... this place is a haven for bad farang trying to escape the law in their own country for doing wrong, thats why thailand and its Authorities are so f* ed up by the baht and the bribes, they let them in here, so they are to blame for doing this which doesnt make it right for us farang trying to make a living and do the right thing by the law of this land... what i am saying is this, it doesnt just happen to people who deserve it, it happens to normal, good farang as well, who buck the corrupt and racist, unjust system that is Thailands cancer and i never believe anything i read or hear unless it is undeniably proven without a doubt... because through experience, many thais will BS through their back teeth about anything because they dont know common ethical values that we do, from the person selling u a watch on the beach, to the BIB, to the Government, this is a proven fact, you read about it everyday, you live it everyday if you live here, this is the Thai way.

I LOVE Thailand and its people, the same as i love my kids if they lie to me, BUT it has to stop, society has to learn to respect and stop this hatred and scamming and racism against farang, when we are bringing home the bacon to them. Trust me, i have had guns ointed at me, when i am trying to do my job and help build a better place here, because some Thai loses face, i have been bashed because i use my intellect and not fists against stupidity, but because the said Thai, cant keep up with verbal communication, they come back with 4 mates and bash me....Thais are weak by themselves, or without a weapon, thats just who they are, i feel so sorry for them, but this is Thai life.

Sometimes i cannot understand how a society is so lost on moral values and cannot get how to treat their fellow human beings, i am beaten in trying to change it, I am leaving for good once i wrap things up, coz i want to live a happy life again without all the violence and lies, which is ONLY something you will experience if you live here, Peace out!

It would be nice if you broke your post up with a paragraphs! :-)

Samui is like any other holiday/party place.

Drifters and wrong 'uns congregate there to get cheap sex and make a few quid by pulling scams, selling drugs or whatever.

Same all around the world. Seems this fella just got a bit out of his depth. (Any more information on what he actually got up too there?)

Sorry, I don't think any Thai would "plant" 100k or 200k (forgot what amount?) on a dead man.

.... the Turkish tourist often came to the bar, got drunk, intimidated the bar's staff and created a scene.

Wowwww. .... what a good business man the manager is. He kills his regular customer.

[tomacht8 6,472]

3 guns, 3 gangsters, 2 shots, 1 dead.
The circumstances of the first shot can not be clearly seen on CCTV.
The second shot was an Execution.

Maybe the court will give the second gunner in its judgment the same favor.

The pleasure tonight to visit a bar has passed me.

[saroq 335]

Straight out murder then by a couple of numbskulls.

Who walks into a bar ( forang ) tooled up with a pistol

If you ask me this Turk was a menace and probably played with fire and got burnt

I am sorry but more to this story than what is written and it ain't murder

If someone specially a foreigner was to come into my place of business and start trouble and i could see he was tooled up then should I let him bully and intimidate me in my own bar ( if I was thai ) in my own country

Some people just read a comment without a clue

People

Don't just shoot people out in the open without some sort of argument

I reckon if he wasn't carrying a gun he would will be here today

Agree. Live by the sword and all that. No sympathy for the Turk.

The kind of quality tourist Thailand is looking for.

[BigC 1,362]

It appears that perhaps Mr. Poletari was probably the kind of guy that wouldn't be very forgiving if he was shot and wounded and allowed to recover. Finishing him off may have been the best way to make the problem go away permanently.

If you are going to mess with Thais, never ever ever mess with Thais in a bar...also taxi or tuk tuk drivers.

He sounds like someone that would have ended his life in jail or by the sword

Fare play you came you played you lost

Lesson for all other forang gangsters you might be big back home but the Thais run this place

Sometimes a killing like this can send a message to all them plastic gangsters out there

[BigC 1,362]

Story now is that he was shot by the shot gun and his friend wanted to make sure he stare down. Was not aware of the details of the argument but probably wanted to put him out of is misery

I doubt he would live long with a shot gun wound

Wouldn't suprise me if he was a tourist guide

Good cover for drug dealers

[davidstipek 280]

Wow!!!

Glad someone has not said a "Thai" Would not do this as they did in the killing of the young Lady and Young Man from the UK!!

Absolute Stupid comment from Police!

No..

Their wives would have taken it if they knew.... (Easier then distracting shop owner to get money out of drawer and stuff in blouse,,,,)

[Dogmatix 4,776]

The story about planting one if the killers' .38 on the victim makes little sense. They claimed he already had his own 9mm pistol visible in his waistband, so why would he use someone else's gun to shoot himself in the stomach and then blow his own head off with a shotgun.

I hear you my friend, but what did you do to get Thais to bash you? I have never ever even been close to being in a situation where Thais have tried to bash me. I sometimes feel a little intimidated or inferior as a minority walking inside a Thai supermarket feeling like I'm getting stared at (I don't get stared at, but it's just a strange feeling I have, away from the tourist areas because I just feel so "visible") but that's about the worst I've ever experienced and probably more of my own making than a reality.
