Yank and French found dead in Pattaya

[BuffHello]

American ex-serviceman found dead inside his Central Pattaya Condo.

 

 

At around Midday on Monday, Police Lieutenant Colonel Manot from Pattaya Police Station was called to the Roong Far Condominium Complex on the Sukumvit Road in Central Pattaya. A member of staff at the Condo made this gruesome discovery after noticing a foul odor from room number 514/112 which is owned by Mr. Jack Allen Div, a retired US Navy Officer. His decomposing body was found on the sofa. Police checked the room and body and could find nothing suspicious and recorded the case as death by natural causes. They are awaiting the results of a post mortem examination but suspect a heart attack was the cause of the death. The American Embassy in Bangkok has been informed of the death.

Case investigated and solved. Frenchman murdered inside his View Talay

2 Condo.

 

Police Major Satien from Dongtan Police Sub-station in Jomtien was

called to the View Talay 2 Condo Complex Building B on Saturday

afternoon after the discovery of a badly decomposed body of a foreign

man inside one of the condos. The alarm was raised by Mr. Edward

Portman from England who was friends with the deceased man; Mr.

Philippe Maria Louis Sabatier aged 64 from France who had not been seen

for more than one week. He went to his friends 4th Floor condo and

found the front door was unlocked and then made the gruesome discovery.

 

According to forensic doctors, the body had remained undiscovered for

at least one week which is consistent with Mr. Portman's account and

the man had sustained a head injury and electric cable was found around

his neck.

 

The complex's CCTV pictures were examined and at 5.10pm on 15th

February, the victim, a practicing homosexual, was seen walking to his

condo with two Thai men. Approximately 45 minutes later, the two Thai

men left and appeared hurried as they ran down the corridor to the

elevators.

The two were the prime suspects in the murder case and at this point,

Pattaya's Tourist Police joined the investigation and less than 24

hours later the two men were caught. They were identified as Khun

Wichien aged 25 and Khun Vee aged 17 who sell sexual services on

Pattaya Beach. They were located by Police Lieutenant Colonel

Wootishart and his team and were taken back to the Tourist Police

Station where they confessed to the murder.

 

Khun Vee mentioned that his mother was suffering from the latter stages

of AIDS and money was urgently required for the continuation of her

medical care. Khun Vee continued by saying that the pair stole a Sony

Digital Camera, Mobile Phone and mini VCD player which had a combined

value of 8,000 Baht.

 

The two were transferred to Pattaya Polcie Station where they were

formally charged with 1st Degree Murder which could see them locked up

for many years to come, if convicted of the crimes committed.
