The "compromised" nature of the crime scene in the drowning death of actress Pattarathida "Tangmo" Patcharaveerapong -- or Nida -- who reportedly fell into the Chao Phraya River from a private speedboat with fatal consequences, could well have been averted with better professional conduct by law enforcement and experienced police interrogators, according to former police investigator-turned-criminologist, Krisanaphong Poothakool.
While cyber sleuths continue with gusto to dig up proof of what led to Pattarathida's untimely demise, the Thai police have yet to offer a plausible explanation of the circumstances that contributed to the actress falling off the boat and eventually drowning that satisfies Thai society. This has largely been attributed to the fact that it has taken investigators a much longer time to collect evidence in this case due to the rather questionable nature of the eyewitnesses involved.
