The initial policeman has turned himself in.. Was drunk was his excuse.. Motive (excpet rivalry) unknown..
This is part of the frictions between Kathu (local) and the new BKK imports.. The boys I had some drinks with last night seemed very pissed about it.. There was some talk about revenge etc but I think (lets hope) thats a combo of drink, being used to power, face, etc..
Also remember my Thai is crap so I was doing a loit of nodding and smiling and getting this translated and them dropping back to bits of English for me.. The bulk of the conversation was outside my understanding so I may be wrong on some facts..
Its kind of annoying that an item like this barely makes news while an item like Debs and Paul is splashed over all the Thai press and lots of international media..
