Shocking story, I can’t imagine how her family are feeling and with all the travel restrictions on top of everything else.

My prayers are with her and her extended family

You mean the killer  is a habitual liar?  He said, he was aroused but only robbed her.  Do you think he will confess truthfully,  or just do what criminals do? It's Sad this lady was killed over something  petty, and unnecessary.

Im amazed at how easily thais admit guilt...Just being my observations of thai police and their fumbling and bumbling...I mean if I "WAS" a killer such as this guy, Id deny it and make the cops find me guilty in court.

Just playing devils advocate if I was a bad guy looking at a thai prison...and my exps at how carefree and easily thais seem to lie to me daily.....why would any of them cooperate with the cops, being a "criminal"?

But then again some here in the stated like jail as some of their buddies are in there and 3 hots n a cot...

A Thai person.... admitting they were wrong? 

Doesn't happen, probably his confession was forced.

Clearly you have never been in a police cell here.

When i was in one, 11 years ago, phone call from British embassy, phone brought to the cell, policeman outside with a BIG bamboo stick, telling me to speak nice, not bad.

Now what would have happened if i spoke bad about my situation? Probably been beaten with the Big stick.

Crazy thing was plod who was listening to what i said could not understand English.

Knowing the threat made to me, was Terrawat beaten to get him to confess?

No way i am defending the scum, if he is guilty, he needs beaten damned hard with something, then locked away for life.
