Flashermac Posted May 21, 2007 Report Share Posted May 21, 2007 << ..3 times, 2 in body one in head. >> If that's not murder, I don't know what is. Where else but in Thailand could a guy get bail after that. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Central Scrutinizer Posted May 21, 2007 Report Share Posted May 21, 2007 Ah, there we go. See, I knew there had to be more to it. So he was already inside and not barging into the guy's house. And drink was involved, and pussy. And the Yank was 'strange' and everyone dislikes him and has had previous problems with him. So the original posts were totally wrong. Figures.

Central Scrutinizer Posted May 21, 2007 Report Share Posted May 21, 2007 'one in head' Yep, murder then, and overkill? Might still depend on the circumstances and the sequence of placement of shots and any struggle that might have been going on. Cent Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Fidel Posted May 21, 2007 Author Report Share Posted May 21, 2007 Sorry 'bout that. It is all second hand info. Impossible to know the full story at this point. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
elef Posted May 21, 2007 Report Share Posted May 21, 2007 grabs Americans Thai wife and enters the bedroom the American had retreated to. American was armed with the Thai wifes' .22 rifle and used it. So the american had retreated to the bedroom to avoid violence and the brit is following, same time using violence against the wife. Self defence! Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
birozen Posted May 21, 2007 Report Share Posted May 21, 2007 Well there must be another side to this which will will probably never know as the guy is dead. Expect he had a good reason to be pissed of with the Yank. Alarming to see there are others just as crazy and gung ho on here, maybe beer chang fever?

Central Scrutinizer Posted May 21, 2007 Report Share Posted May 21, 2007 Fidel, No problem. I knew there had to be more to it. That's what happens on message boards. Takes time to get to the true story rather than rumor, unless firsthand info. Cent Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Mekong Posted May 21, 2007 Report Share Posted May 21, 2007 I am not claiming that my information is 100% correct, as I said Jungle Drums have been beating over the weekend and opinions have been flying. At first I paid no notice since the original Surname mentioned was Crossley so it meant nothing to me, but a 52 Year Old Guy from South Shields QA/QC Engineer Surname Connolly certainly rings bells. Hopefully the full story will come out over time, It has been a few years since I met Martin in the flesh, so I cannot say how he was over the last 2-3 weeks / months so I cannot be a current character witness, but even the last time I was him he was not the type of person to fly off at a tangent.

teddy Posted May 21, 2007 Report Share Posted May 21, 2007 I was going to say that I can't believe the reaction to this murder from certain posters here but sadly I am not surprised This does not seem at all like self defence to me. Self defence would have been kicking the bloke in the balls and throwing him out. Three bullets in the head deserves life in prison and I hope he gets it.

elef Posted May 21, 2007 Report Share Posted May 21, 2007 Three bullets in the head deserves life in prison and I hope he gets it So in your opinion you decide if it's murder or not by the number of bullets or because it was in the head? One bullet is enough for killing in many parts of the body and you must look at the circumstances to decide if it's murder or not. As I said the american had retreated and the brit followed same time using violence against the wife. The number of bullets used is more indicating that the american was very afraid and it was in fact self defence. All this of course based on the OP but that's what we're discussing. Except Mekong who has a personal knowledge of the brit but still doesn't know any fact that says the OP is wrong. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
