сегодняшныайа инфо-на данный момент самий лучсий репортаж,лишенный догадок и слухов.обратите внимание на противоречия с предыдущими заявлениями свидетеля.
The alarm was raised by a security guard on duty at the entrance to Anantaya Resort, which is located at Soi 18, Jomtien Beach, just 20 meters away from where the women were sitting.Police arrived at the scene to find two Russian women, Miss Livbov Svirkova, 25 and Miss Tatiana Tsimfer, 30 slumped in their beach chairs with multiple bullet wounds in their dead bodies.
The bodies were later transferred to the Forensic Institute whose initial findings reported that Svirkova and Tsimfer were inflicted with six and four 9-mm bullet wounds respectively. Examining the scene of the shooting, police found four empty 9mm cartridge cases. The table where the two were sitting at held a bottle of whisky, a glass, one mobile phone and a mini skirt. Somsak Noonoi, 28, an employee of the Siam Pattaya Guard Company, told officers that he was on duty at the Anantaya Resort entrance when he heard one gunshot, so he ran out to investigate. As he was running he heard more gunshots. Initially it was reported that he saw a young Thai man, about 165 cm tall, wearing a black T-shirt and white jeans with a gun in hand run to a motorcycle and fled towards the end of Jomtien Beach. Later investigations reported that the nationality of the murderer is still not determined.
The gunman silhouette was captured on the city’s CCTV cameras.
The two women arrived on February 16, with the Discovery Holiday Tour Company and were staying at the Dragon Beach Resort on Jomtien Beach, approximately 500 meters away from where they were shot. At approximately 4 a.m. they left their room and stopped to buy whisky at a 7-Eleven store, and then went to the beach to enjoy a swim at daybreak.
Pictures taken from the city’s CCTV show a man park his motorcycle at the roadside about 5 meters away from the where the women were sitting, run across the wide footpath, jump down onto the beach and fire shots at something or someone. He then ran back to his motorcycle and rode away. The CCTV captured images of the gunman during the nine-second shooting but his face could not be seen clearly.
Police theorized that the gunman wasn’t after valuables because the women weren’t wearing anything of value.
Acting national police chief Pol Gen Seripisuth Temiyavej has ordered that the killer be found quickly because this reflects badly on the country’s image and inevitably its tourism businesses.
Minister of Tourism and Sport Suwit Yodmanee said this crime, like any other murder of foreigners in Thailand, would definitely affect the tourism momentum especially in the Russian market. About 100,000 Russians travel to Thailand and to Pattaya City annually. Their visits generate millions of baht for many businesses.
The Russian consul in charge of the case said no evidence had been found to indicate that two women were involved in international sex or illegal мята trading. They worked as telephone operators in their hometown and that this was their first trip to Thailand.
Police said the women had bought a package tour to Thailand and in the eight days since they had arrived they hadn’t traveled much with the tour group, usually sightseeing around town by themselves. Police said they didn’t know whom they met or what they had done during those days because the tourists could move around freely and are not obliged to travel with the group.
Pol Lt Gen Assawin Kwanmuang, chief of the Provincial Police Bureau 2, said he has set up an operations center at a hotel near the murder site, and organized 12 groups of officers to gather information on what has become a nationwide headline murder case. He said the team leaders meet every seven hours to update the situation. Police have offered 100,000 baht to anyone who can provide them with information that will lead to the capture of the killer.
Police have questioned the tour guide of the company from which the two victims purchased the tour package. Investigators said the tour leader had received the two women and other tourists from U-Tapao Airport on their arrival to the kingdom and delivered them to their hotel.
Security guard Somsak remains the most valuable witness so far, and police are keeping him in their care for further questioning as the case proceeds. Police have also questioned the shopkeeper who sold the alcohol to the women, and are searching for the baht bus driver who delivered them to the beach.Police are checking the women’s mobile phones for clues as to whom they were in contact with during their stay in Pattaya.
Footprints were found on the sand near the bodies, but police are disappointed that they couldn’t make out which were the shooter’s footprints, because by the time they arrived, curious onlookers had mingled around the bodies thus disrupting any sign of evidence that could have been vital to establishing the identity of the gunman.
On Tuesday Pol. Col. Suthin Sappuang, superintendent of Pattaya police station summoned over 500 motorcycle taxi drivers to meet with his investigation team. He urged anyone of them who may have information of the movements of the women during their last 8 days to come forward and help police with their investigations.
Meanwhile at city hall, Deputy Mayor Ronakit Ekasingh said that out of the 85 CCTVs installed around Pattaya and Jomtien, only 60 were in working condition. The defective cameras were sent back to the manufacturer in England for repairs, 13 have come back but have yet to be installed.
