Canada doesn't extradite people if there is potential for death penalty. That's non negotiable.

But the culprits just have to confess, and death is off the table. I would let Dupre decide, which penalty he wanna go for!

All the preparation, disguises, switching clothes, coordinated ambush, and still they are easily spotted and linked to the crime via cctv.

Seems counter productive but hey i'm no criminal mastermind

What's the point of killing off the competition when you're going to get old behind bars?

Anybody?

CCTV wouldn’t have told the cops who the killers were. They would have been grassed up by their Thai partners in crime - the enablers such as the suppliers of the guns, the spotters, the transporters  etc etc

Who cares if the criminals kill the criminals... good riddance... let Canada have the problem... spend more resources on the problems here in Thailand facing your own citizens

Amazingly, er unbelievably, this barely made news in Canada until the very odd plane crash. The only major news to cover it wrote one article only after i sent a letter to the editor asking why nobody is covering this. Zero of thw people I talked to over the summer even knew any of it happened. It should have been a massive story. So wierd

Why would it be a big story in Canada? Every week there are criminal settling of accounts resulting in a murder that are barely mentioned. It is unlikely that a murder in St. John's NL gets a mention in the Calgary, AB Herald etc.  In this case, an alleged criminal from BC was killed. I doubt anyone  outside of the region  would be interested.
