David Miller and Hannah Witheridge murdered on Koh Tao beach
There was another thread on another forum about a young barang female pulled from the water in Thaland (Bikini clad in Pattaya or Samui) this year but I can't find and info in it.
Anyone know who she was?

Good summation.Phuket2006 wrote:Speaking to the BBC, Lieutenant Colonel Somsak, who led the original investigation, said some of the original DNA samples had been "used up".
A hair sample found in Miss Witheridge's hand was among samples that were lost, he said.
Lieutenant Colonel Somsak said all police could offer the court was documentation of the results.
"There's nothing left. It was used up when we tested the first time," he said.
OK for those just tuning in, here is a recap:
1. The crime scene is totally contaminated with hundreds turning up for a media circus on the beach.
2. Headlines that the headman's son is wanted for the murder, the chief of police investigation is taken off the case then immediately the new chief on the case proclaims the headman's son innocent.
3. The police keep making contradictory statements to the media.
4. Headlines that a Scotsman flees the Island after allegedly being threatened and hounded by a "mafia" gang who threaten to pin the case on him and hang him in the woods.
5. A man claims he is allegedly beaten up and tortured by police trying to frame him for the murders.
6. Two Burmese young men make confessions then immediately allege they were beaten up and tortured to extract the confessions.
7. Confusion over ownership of mobile phones makes the evidence look weak.
8. The Prime Minister congratulates the police on a job well done!
9. The police claim the evidence is perfect.
10. The courts keep telling the police the evidence is not good enough to be presented in court and ask them to go back and improve their case.
11. Claims from Britain they have DNA evidence that contradicts the police DNA results.
12. The defense asks the court to re-examine the DNA but it has all gone missing or has been used up. Effectively, there is no DNA evidence for presentation to the court. Only the police word that it was "perfect"
13. The head of police threaten the defense team outside the court telling them they should be supporting the police not the accused!
outcome
they will be found guilty
they have to. otherwise to much face will be lost
Got to show the world that justice is swift and all the tourists can return and feel safe
than the right thing would be a Royal pardon, so they can return home
MY take
there is someone walking around out there that did it, wonder how he sleeps at night?
Whether it's this guy, the Red Bull heir, the young girl that slammed a mini bus full to their death on the Bangkok expressway or the actress who drove her Merc into the back of the sleeping cop's car killing him last week, or the countless others that will predictably follow in their footsteps they no doubt sleep soundly in the knowledge that their money and influence will buy them immunity from actual prosecution to any reasonable degree. A bit of superficial window dressing when required at most. I love most things about living in the country but this is the one aspect that I genuinely hate about.
Wonder if the Okhna's enjoying a beer with Red Bull junior in Singapore.

Yeh but at least the coup swept away all the nasty corruption that benefited the lower orders. The natural order in Thailand has been restored
I came, I argued, I'm out

Not aware of anything in Pattaya other than we had a dead Russian lady on the beach one morning in Jomtien a couple of months back, she was older and I'm pretty sure it was genuinely a natural causes swimming related drowning.YaTingPom wrote:There was another thread on another forum about a young barang female pulled from the water in Thaland (Bikini clad in Pattaya or Samui) this year but I can't find and info in it.

Andy - the perfect test case on so many levels to remove any lingering doubt that its business as usual and normal service resumed. I know I shouldn't be so naive.

DNACrucial DNA evidence in the case of the murder of two British backpackers cannot be retested because it no longer exists, Thai police have told the BBC.
The evidence is central to the prosecution case against two Burmese migrants on trial for killing David Miller, 24, from Jersey, and Hannah Witheridge, 23, from Norfolk.
The defence had wanted it re-examined.

The Thai are disgusting, really. We also have the trial about to start of the Thai and the Australian journo who blew the whistle on the Royal Thai Navy trafficking, torturing and murdering Rohingya. I am old enough to remember when the Thai trafficked, tortured, raped and murdered huge numbers of Vietnamese boat people. They Thai Army of course also raped,robbed and murdered Khmer refugees in the seventies and even today regularly murder Khmers who cross the border illegally.

Police 'Never Checked' CCTV After Britons Killed
Police failed to check CCTV images of a boat leaving a pier close to where two British backpackers were found murdered, a Thai court has heard.
There were gasps in the courtroom as Police Colonel Cherdpong Chiewpreecha revealed a series of apparent blunders in the investigation into the deaths of David Miller, 24, and Hannah Witheridge, 23, on the island of Koh Tao.
The court in Koh Samui heard that the senior investigating police chief and his officers did not believe the killer would have taken that boat, which left an hour or so after the estimated time of death of the pair.
"We have the footage, but we never checked it," Police Colonel Cherdpong said.

The Farce continues;
unreal;
First no more DNA for testing
Now
unreal;
First no more DNA for testing
Now
In testimony in court today, Lieutenant Colonel Kewalee Chanpan, from the forensic division of the Royal Thai Police, said that while the swabs used to obtain the DNA samples from the scene, and the victims’ and suspects’ bodies, would have been destroyed in the testing process, traces of the the DNA extracted from those swabs would still be available for retesting. The police lieutenant colonel explained that trace DNA material is generally conserved for at least one to two years by the police forensics department. While she could only speak for her own examination of the alleged murder weapon, some blood-spattered items of clothing, two cigarette butts and a condom found at the scene, she explained to the court that the same should be true for all the DNA samples gathered in the investigation.
They questioned the fact that the suspects were not dressed in clothes similar to those of the potential suspects on CCTV footage, and that the murder weapon itself was not tested for DNA evidence.
The Police Colonel, in both instances, said he did not believe it was relevant.
His comment came after Thai police informed the defence team they could not verify the results of police DNA tests on the victims because there were “no samples left”, and it was revealed that the alleged murder weapon had been moved from where it was initially found, and police had ordered the person who said he had found it to simply put it back.
http://www.edp24.co.uk/news/crime/hanna ... _1_4164482The senior police officer investigating the killing of Norfolk student Hannah Witheridge in Thailand said today that he had not investigated rumours that she had been involved in an argument with a Thai youth on the night of her death.
Police Colonel Cherdpong Chiewpreecha said he was aware of rumours the 23-year-old from Hemsby had an altercation inside the AC Bar, while she was there with friends. But he said neither he, nor his officers, actively followed up that line of enquiry.
But the court was also told, of the 300 CCTV cameras in the area, 200 were not working, and only 22 captured any video images of the victims, and neither Ms Witheridge, nor fellow backpacker David Miller, 24, were seen alive again after entering the AC bar separately, between midnight and 2am, in the early hours of September 15 2014.
