Shameful they did not let them go. Anyone knows the Burmese boys were framed.

Maybe try and find the actual person who committed the crime rather than scapegoating on immigrants...

Better. Taking their lives is useless, one it is over that is it - at least a life sentence is long and miserable for them. Proper punishment.

That is a far worse punishment.

Send him to Russia...

I think this is scapegoat.

Why they killed they? For materials? “Is human been is human”?

Well there was a fair amount of doubt over the convictions

Send them a nice healthy food parcel.

Here come the dickheads making excuses for murderers...

Obviously murder is not a serious offence in Thailand. Shame on this 2nd rate country.

I think you'll find its pronounced 'Thighland'

These men were used to protect the travel industry. Flawed in many ways

100% the wrong guys and tried to save face.

Disappointed. If I was the parent of either of these poor souls I’d want them dead.

Good, capital punishment is never the answer.

Of course it wasn't them. The king confirmed it lol

Bet they will be on a boat crossing the channel soon!

Yea that case was flawed, blame was put onto scapegoats. Still questionable conviction.

It probably wasn’t them

what’s with these western tourists being killed first those british tourists in thailand and then those french tourists in niger
