For those of you who, like me, have no legal qualifications...
Inchoate offences in English law are offences in England and Wales that cover illegal acts which have yet to be committed, primarily attempts to commit crimes, incitement to commit crimes, and conspiracy to commit crimes.
This is the way

Really, the girls should be treated as an accessory to the murder as they were there and involved in some way...whether that happens or not is another question, but maybe by the looks of it. Either way, the Thai scumbags that committed the crime should also be investigated for having illegal relationships with minors as the report said they were underage girls that were their "girlfriends"......so, the douches are pedos too? What is the truth? They have not released any info about the nasty women so that might suggest that they are indeed underage and it's not a 'lost in translation' thing.

However, something I noticed from the picture in the BBK Post that didn't tally with the story was that they said the Thai thugs had knives....erm no, more like swords.

:tsk:

Of course you realise that underage in Thailand means under 20 years old. They could be 19 which in most countries would not be under age.

https://en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Ages_of_c ... a#Thailand

"The age of consent in Thailand is 15 (with the below caveat) as specified by article 279 of the Thai Criminal Code. The current legislation applies to all regardless of gender or sexual orientation.

However,parts of the Prevention and Suppression of Prostitution Act, which disallow any sexual contact with prostitutes under the age of 18, are widely interpreted by some local authorities to cover sexual acts classed as "obscenity for personal gratification". Also, from the Penal Code Amendment Actof 1997 Section 283bis, having sex with an adolescent under 18 is a compoundable offense even with the consent of that person. The parent or the adolescent may file charges against the other side if they later regrets their own action. This ostensibly makes the Thai unfettered age of consent 18.

A high profile example of this application of the law was a statutory rape charge filed against the lead singer of the Thai band Big Ass for allegedly having had sex with a (then) 16-year-old girl. The charge was filed by the girl after the singer refused to take responsibility for her baby. The singer has since been cleared of being the baby's father due to the results of a paternity test and he received 2 years suspended sentence.[75][76]"

Ha...sounds like the usually clear and unambiguous rules.

Thanks for the replies. I was a little confused about why they won't release any info about the girls, so thought maybe they were really young....and if so, then it opens another can of worms. Maybe I jumped the gun...but we'll see.
