Bangkokâ??s Elite arrives in Pattaya. Promotions or Demotions! Premature closure unacceptable.

 

Double murder update.

3 March 2007

 

 

Bangkokâ??s finest arrived here today to add his wisdom to this weekâ??s manhunt. He was updated on the progress in a one-hour briefing, and indicated that he was not expecting an early closure to this case.

 

General Seriphisut Temiyawej has no doubt that the â??lo-soâ? delinquent in custody, Anuchit Lamlert aged 24, is the killer, and forensics have proved Anuchit's weapon is the one that was used - a Noringo 213b which carries a registration document 2/10756 and the serial number 210249. Time must be allocated to further check details regarding the weapon and the motorcycle.

 

Not satisfied with the motive, General Seriphisut has urged local Police Lieutenant General Assawin Kwanmueng to dig deeper, as there is more to this case than meets the eye. If his suspicions are correct, the hired killer is withholding information about the real culprits, which is creating damage to one of the worldâ??s most popular tourist destinations.

 

It is expected that further investigations will result in deportation of foreign criminals.

 

It is understood that enquiries are being made far afield, involving Russian authorities, travel agents, tour groups and the airlines. Further checks are to be made into the backgrounds of the victims.

 

General Seriphisut also stated that this case will not be closed prematurely, and urged local police to work in co-operation with Mayor Niran Wattanasatsathorn and to rethink current staffing levels as money will be made available, and perhaps re-organize the force with more emphasis on public safety.

 

It was also made clear that every single officer will be accountable and positions will be on the line. Equally, promotions may be in the offing.

So let me get this right.......the media is allowed to question the accused without any interferance. The guys just seems way too relaxed. I still think it was a hit and involves the russians and the sex industry.

I always thought those beach deckchairs were cleared away and stored overnight, if they had come back after clubbing, are there deckchairs at that time of night already laid out there these days?

IF not, and they helped themselves, set them up, why put out four and not just two for themselves?

:hmmm:

PATTAYA SLAYINGS

Police continue to seek Russian murder motive

 

Suspect re-enacts beach shooting and insists it was a robbery gone wrong

 

 

Police continue to seek information about the backgrounds of two Russian women murdered in Pattaya, in spite of having arrested a suspect.

 

 

Chief investigator Lt-General Assawin Khwanmueng said diplomatic channels were assisting and could turn up a motive for the slayings.

 

 

Tatiana Tsimfer, 30, and Liubov Svirkova, 25, were shot dead by a Thai man about dawn as they sat in chairs on Jomtien Beach on February 24.

 

 

Anuchit Lamlert is in custody and has admitted killing the two in a robbery gone wrong.

 

 

But police want to know if either woman had personal or business disputes at home. They arrived in Thailand with a Russian tour party on February 16.

 

 

Assawin said a Russian man had told police Tsimfer confessed to marital problems.

 

 

Police now believe Anuchit did not kill the victims because he was hired or ordered to by another, he said.

 

 

Earlier information suggested Anuchit was hired by a Thai woman who was afraid her Russian husband would leave her for one of the victims whom the husband had association with after she visited his Pattaya tour company.

 

 

Police have arrested a third suspect, Monthol Bunmee, who owns the red Honda Wave motorcycle used by Anuchit in the killings.

 

 

Monthol has been charged with withholding information about a murder while Thinnakorn Meklee, the owner of the murder weapon, has been charged with illegal possession of a firearm.

 

 

Anuchit has shown police how he located the victims and attempted to rob them. He insists he shot the two when they screamed for help.

 

 

"I killed them because I was afraid they would remember my face," he said.

 

 

However, acting national police chief Seripisut Temiyavej still doubts the claim.

 

 

"There are inconsistencies in his confession and the evidence," Seripisut said during a visit to Pattaya on Saturday to question Anuchit.

 

 

"I believe the murder may be linked to a crime organisation and there may be other people behind it."

 

 

Seripisut told businessmen who met him on his trip it was time to clean up crime and mafia gangs deeply rooted in Pattaya.

 

--------------

 

Pol Lt-Gen Asawin Khwanmuang, chief of Provincial Police Bureau 2 that supervises the East, said that police were checking the backgrounds of the murder victims who came from Moscow.

 

He said police were fed a lot of information through the Russian consulate in Thailand, and a Russian witness had said that one of the murdered women had had a conflict with her husband before she left for her relaxation trip to Thailand.
