AUSTRALIA (Update)
Australians admit dumping Thai women in croc-infested river: court
AGENCE FRANCE-PRESSE in Darwin
Two 18-year-old men had admitted to police they murdered two alleged Thai-born prostitutes who were bound and thrown alive into a crocodile-infested river in northern Australia, a court heard on Tuesday.
Prosecutors told Darwin Magistrates court that Ben William McLean and Phu Ngoc Trinh admitted killing the women, who were Australian permanent residents and had worked as prostitutes in Darwin for several years.
The bodies of Phuangsri Kroksamrang, 58, and Somjai Inssamnan, 27, were found by tour operators conducting crocodile-spotting cruises on the Adelaide River, 70 kilometres southwest of Darwin last March.
Prosecutor Rex Wild told the court the women had been weighed down with car batteries and thrown into the river with rope tied around their necks.
Wild said McLean and Trinh had bought cables, rope and packing tape before picking up the two women at a Darwin motel.
He said the men had consensual sex with the women before strangling them in the back of a car.
Mr Wild said Trinh claimed the women were dead when they were dumped in the river but forensic evidence suggested they drowned, meaning they were both alive when they hit the water.
"Maybe they were unconscious, we have to speculate about that," Mr Wild said.
He said McLean claimed the killings arose from a drug debt but prosecutors did not accept the explanation.
Mr Wild said AUD$1,800 (HK$9,900) was taken from Phuangsri's bank accounts around the time of the killings.
The accused fled to Queensland state after being questioned by police and were found hiding in the cupboard of a friend's house in a police raid, Mr Wild said.
McLean and Trinh are each charged with two counts of murder. They did not enter a plea and the hearing was to resume on Wednesday.
There is also a rumour, one of the BGs asked one of the guys for a 1,500baht loan, but the guy decided to turn the tables. "You know what they're ALL like", he was heard to say.

Hmmm, a friend of mine knew the younger thai quite well. I also know the Adelaide river very well, damn big crocs in there and the tour operator who may have found them.
Also in January this year I think it was, the tour guide who took a group swimming in Kakadu Nat. Park, he was an old employee of mine, I knew him well. One of the group got eaten and dragged off. they were swimming at midnight in another area that I know very well, it is a lovely, inviting white sand swimming hole, especially on a hot day or night and the guide probably trying to get into a gals pants.

Hey, maybe BK would like to open a BTF Holiday camp there.
Sort of a 'BTF Buntlins for Bar Girls'!
You could be the camp director NM and helicopter in
the boys and girls and then later, helicopter out the boys!
Finding investors would be a snack...I mean 'snap'!

Funny enough, there was this plick who owed me money in Oz. I often fantasised about kidnapping him and flying him to this little island I know that is surrounded by these 18 foot crocs and leave him there until he decided to pay me.

I wonder if the 'crocodile-spotting cruises' got more popular after the bodies were found.?
