Very true, but they're boxed in now. They expected a quick and quiet sweep under the rug, as usual. Now that their lies are systematically being exposed, they can't extradite themselves without admitting the frame-up. So they just keep digging a deeper and deeper hole.

Link, please? I'm also trying to find a link to what you posted about ;

o

You have posted baby mafia boy was involved in a rape before, I asked for a link as did one another.

Than you posted about a twitter comment that had bmboy not in Bkk whan he said he was. I aksed about a link to that post

You were quoted posted about the Thai human rights officer being a scum and incapable of truly overseeing human rights. I am also asking about that link, I have searched your posts but cannot find the original post.

Please consider it's better to include links - no links and it loses credibility and won't get put out where it can help.

A quiet news day. The cops must be regrouping to figure out their next steps. I wonder if doing the right thing is on their brainstorm list.

What a strange thing to do. He's on an island and instead of hurling it into the sea as far as he can for time and tide to take care of it, he disposes of it near the house.

^Just one of the many very strange claims made by a variety of people involved in this case. Why indeed?

Prison Chief Fears Koh Tao Suspects May Commit Suicide

SURAT THANI — The two Burmese men who were accused of murdering two British tourists in southern Thailand last month are being monitored to prevent possible suicide attempts, says the director of the prison where they are being held.

"I have instructed other inmates to monitor the two Burmese men. I am afraid they may commit suicide, because they show signs of stress," said Chanin Liangsuwan, chief of Koh Samui District Prison. "They may be feeling guilty for the crime they have done."

The two Burmese men, identified as Saw and Win, were arrested last week and accused of killing David Miller, 24, and Hannah Witheridge, 23, on the island of Koh Tao on 15 September. They have been charged with premeditated murder, among other crimes, and could face execution.

According to Chanin, the two suspects are being held in a general holding cell with other inmates, but he stressed that wardens are doing their best to keep the suspects under watch.

Witthaya Suriyawong, director of the Department of Corrections, said he has instructed officials at Koh Samui Prison to be extremely mindful of the two suspects' safety.

"They are a special case because they are charged with a serious crime, which carries a high penalty," Witthaya said. "Even the food they eat has to be checked thoroughly to prevent any incident. I also want officials to set up CCTVs and guards to monitor their safety when they sleep.
Witthaya said he received reports that Saw and Win are experiencing stress in their detention, which prompted prison officials to bring in psychiatrists to talk with the two suspects. Nevertheless, Witthaya claimed it is a "normal condition for people who are in prison for the first time."

He also said it is not necessary to move the two suspects to a maximum security prison, but suggested that they could be moved to Bang Kwang Prison near Bangkok if the court sentences them to life in jail.

Thai police’s investigation into the murder of Miller and Witheridge has been mired in controversy since day one. After several weeks of blunders, confusion, and numerous false leads, police arrested Saw and Win and accused them of murdering the backpackers.

Although police claim DNA tests and CCTV footage implicate the two men, many Thais remain unconvinced, largely due to inconsistent statements made by police and their long history of "scapegoat" arrests. The scandal took a new turn this week with an allegation from Amnesty International that police tortured Saw and Win during interrogation.

In a sign that the investigation may face yet another setback, Attorney of Koh Samui, Paiboon Ashawanandakul, said he has asked the police to "polish" the case filed to the prosecutor's office as the files remain "incomplete" in some areas.

I think the two patsy,s 'committing suicide' is the only way out for the BIB to save what little face they have left.

RIP patsy's.

One committing suicide maybe, but two!

The chances are very slim in the real world unless something more sinister happens.

It's as if the article is preparing everyone by sowing the seed of suicide, child like phycology.

I do believe the pressure will mount and intensify regardless.

People want change...300K likes on CSI LA facebook and 50K signining the petition can not be ignored.

Will Mon do the honourable thing and have his DNA tested by an independent organisation?

A high ranking prison official does not appear to understand the fact that until proven guilty you cannot say they have done the crime. maybe they're feeling stressed because they've been framed.

You would think the example of the police advancing all those original theories about jilted homosexual lovers and horny Burmese may have deterred this guy from following in their footsteps

Three Myanmar witnesses are to testify in advance
on Koh Tao murder case

Three Myanmar witnesses in Koh Tao murder of two British tourists will be brought before the court probably next week to testify in advance before the start of the trial.

Pol Maj-Gen Apichart Boonsriroj, commander of Surat Thani provincial police, said today (Thursday) that the three Myanmar migrant workers were under the care of the police and the public prosecutor had been asked to seek the court’s permission to bring the three witnesses to testify in advance.

The murder case file has already been submitted to the prosecutor by the police and is now being scrutinized by the prosecutor whether the case was strong enough or not or whether more evidences would be required.

Let's hope the pressure comes from within Thailand then.

The roti vendor was on channel 3 and even the news guy said he was surrounded by undercover cops during the interview. They were off camera of course but one can only assume they had to make sure he followed the script.

This bit doesn't look good :
