66-Year-Old Frenchman Shot To Death In Bangkok

"Love triangle" favoured over "business dispute".

Crime of passion. Seems suitable French?

Very sad, fucking money, the route of all evil.

Ah so bonecollector is going with "business dispute" while VocalNeal prefers "Love triangle".

Love triangle leading 2-1.

Chief Insp Hazza is being cautious and Insp Sausage won't come forward until he has a list of five reason to back up his motive.

Can you speak clear fucking English because I haven't got a clue what you're wittering on about.

You seem to be perpetually angry over trivia Hazza, use the ignore button to prolong your life.

You're all over the place wittering gibberish, then.

^Knew it wouldn't be long, anything exciting to say/tell Syb or anything really. I imagine the expat circle in the sandpit are in mourning since you left.

You come across as far more angry . . . especially when you're drunk, which seems to be more and more the case

I'm still waiting for you to explain that last unintelligible comment.

WTF is a "holding reply"?

Have you been sharing tiktoks with 12 year olds or something?

I wish you would stop trying to derail the investigation.

I am favouring one or more of the dead was involved in some nefarious dealings and the Thai boss has cleaned house so they will not be able to finger him if caught.

A poorly carried out murder-suicide plot, with only 2 out of 3 parts of the plan completed.

That's more like it Nev, none of this ludicrous "Love Triangle" nonsense.
