Thread: Druggie Kiwi Jumps from Pattaya Balcony

Them kiwi boys probably just got done shearing a shed full of sheep and had sore backs so probably thought a wee trip to Thailand and a few massages might help eh. I feel sorry for them.

Yes nothing wrong with some decompression time but I've never known anyone try to nick a coppers gun, don't care who you are or the circumstances that is asking for it.

If daddy hadn't coughed up, they might have had a couple more Songkrans in the nick. Just what they deserved.

They didn't do any.

Rich Mummy and Daddy paid the filth to let them go.

Slow down Harry,


Two brothers locked up in Thailand after a roadside struggle with a police officer are now safely back in New Zealand after spending nearly four months in prison.​

They weren't in the big prison as they were never convicted; most likely on remand in a Phuket Town police cell.

I did notice the glaring spelling error in this BP article however.

Their parents are millionaire business and property owners named Laurence and Katrina Day, according to the New Zealand Herald.
"It's very, very concerning," The Herald on Monday quoted the father as saying. "The family is distraught. We're praying for a good outcome."

Big prison, small prison. They were still locked up, ya goose.

There was no reported judicial process beyond their arrest and initial detention.

The account nearer to the truth of the matter is that they were the subject of what they thought was a ripoff and sought to evade it but where pursued by an angry police officer who in his rage and frustration drew his handgun amd threatened the men with it who being sound strapping lads and capable of handling themselves disarmed the policeman.

Storm in a T cup but the absence of any court involvement is telling not least because the two NZ were the victims and no doubt would convince anyone with a functioning brain they were acting in self defence from the histrionics of an out of countrol copper.

Sure, they were released in return for a suitable consideration but that’s normal here, and certainly in Phuket where such matters are quite mundane.

And assaulted him and discharged his weapon.

Don't tell me the parents didn't "pray" a fucking shitload to dig the silly fuckers out of the hole they dug for themselves.

So, he was arrested and detained by the police. Why no court case?

There was no assault, they disarmed the crazed policeman who discharged his own weapon and restrained him from offering more violence. When he had calmed down they offered to pay his fine but they weren’t happy and went into a sulk.

Should have offered more than a couple of hundred baht then, the stupid twats.

I don't think most police stations provide long term caregiving...I may be wrong though.

How long were you in there for?

Once arrested a prisoner is initially detained in police cells but depending on offence is offered bail.If bail is denied then usually after three days or less the accused is brought to Court and can apply to be remanded on bail. If refused then the prisoner is remanded in custody of a prison, not police cells. The maximum period of detention in police cells is around twelve days. The two Kiwis did not spend months detained in cells. If that indeed transpired to be the case then they were never brought before a Court which even for Thailand would have been nigh impossible as a foreigner with access to legal representation which tthe pair clearly had.

Frankly, given the support the pair would have had I cannot see why bail was not automatic given their passports were seized and they could have been made subject to strict reporting conditions. Enforced unauthorised detention is unlikely.

The case was not reported between arrest and release. Clearly, there are facts missing.

It seems from an early NZ press account using a local stringer that the two were remanded by the Court on the first available day after arrest but detained in cells behind the Courthouse in Phuket. No reports of any transfer to a prison that I can find. The charges of robbery etc were, like the Swiss nonsense, trumped up, inflated and probably bore little relation to the facts.

I cannot find any report of a judicial resolution of the case. But then, when one knows the facts of the Vard case anything is possible in that dreadful island.

Lots of "Real Life, Hands on" experience speaking from SA. It screams he spent some time in lock up. But living in Pattaya should we expect anything less?

The high level of crime there and Phuket affords those old geriatrics time to catch up on the process.

Your immigration OK SA? Overstay a risk? Hard to keep up when you can't leave your condo. Does your wingman lube up the wheel chair wheels and call a Songtaew?

You really do have a cartoon mind, Stumpy.

You silly little simpleton.

Once the Thai cops knew their father had a deep pocket, they would have been keen to keep the sons locked up at the police station. I'm guessing the father would have been prepared to pay at least 3 million baht to get his sons out early.

Why are you people so stupid.

They were remanded by the Court and therefore remained in detention under their jurisdiction and no longer in police custody.

Any deal struck would have had to be Court sanctioned with compensation for the police officer and a sentence imposed by the judge who may have set a large fine together with, say, a term of imprisonment of three months, which would have permitted their immediate release given their three months on remand would have counted as time served.

I suspect this would have been the outcome. But why no report?

^ok if you say so, Rumpole of the Bailey
