And what it is the same invistigation team like in this other case and we all remember the interviews of the parents of the victoms and they explained this fool games and that are just the scape goats and the killers still walk free. And no parents would make that claim if they would not be sure and even involved the investigators to jave an look in it and they also said there is too much unclear especially with the dna evidences. This was in tv news in europe and around the world and very well explained shy the parents of the victims claimed foul play!

Wow what a surprise... Only yesterday I made mention on this site that no doubt a Burmese would be named as a suspect....

The swiss government should be wise and send their own investigation team because it is the same guy who lead the investigation in this other case with the two British who were murdered.

Hardly a shock that someone was going to come out with that though was it - entirely predictable!

My wife's cousin in the police here says he is actually thai 

If so await the avalanche of retractions and apologies from the "I said it would be a burmese" mob

Very interesting to note that the Thaiger is the ONLY one reporting this... Nothing on BKP or The Nation yet.

Thai news channels are on to it

I think it likely best to wait a bit, as its possible the early news is not precise (apologies to the Thaiger editorial staff for my caution).  

Thai language news is purportedly claiming the man to be a Phuket local of Thai nationality - so maybe the situation still a bit fuzzy.

Hopefully what ever nationality, that they have the right criminal/murderer. 

Once again, my condolences to family, friends and co-workers of this Swiss woman.
