Gaybutton Posted March 3, 2007 Posted March 3, 2007 Three stories have been published within the past few hours. Here they are: The following appears in THE NATION: _____ Robbery May Not Motivation of Killing Two Russians : Police Boss Acting national police chief Gen Seripisut Temiyavej does not believe the man arrested for the murder of two Russian tourists intended to rob them. Seripisut questioned on Saturday the man personally and said he disbelieved his claim that the killings had been the result of a robbery gone wrong. Tatiana Tsimfer, 30, and Liubov Svirkova, 25, were shot dead around dawn on February 24 as they sat in chairs on Jomtien Beach in Pattaya. Seripisut said Anuchit Lamlert, 24, was the killer. He was arrested on Thursday night. However, Seripisut was convinced that the suspect had not worked alone and that his motive had not been robbery. He was suspicions of Anuchit's claim because the victims had no valuables on them at the time except for a mobile telephone. The pair had gone to the beach for an earlymorning swim. "Police have arrested the suspect, but I am not satisfied. I believe there must be a motive," he said. Pattaya police will continue to search for accomplices, and Seripisut said he did not want a "scapegoat". On Thursday police recovered the murder weapon, a Chinesemade 9mm Norinco pistol. Anuchit told police he had attempted to rob the women but shot them when they screamed for help. Police Second Region commissioner and the senior officer investigating the killings, Lt Gen Assawin Khwanmueng, said Saturday a Bt550,000 reward had been paid. Anuchit has been denied bail. ____________________ The following appears in the PATTAYA CITY NEWS (Photos on the link) : http://www.pattayacitynews.net/news_03_03_50_2.htm _____ National Police Chief Quote
