NU.nl checks reliability daily. Affirmation: "The owner of a Thai restaurant served human meat to his customers."
Judgment: False
On November 1, NU.nl announced that the owner of a vegetarian restaurant in Bangkok would have used human flesh. NU.nl has reported not only in AD De Telegraaf and in various international media. However, the story turns out to be wrong. The owner of a restaurant in Thailand is suspected in a murder case but has not cited his alleged victim to his clients.
Where does it come from?
In the news of the website NU.nl AsiaOne used as a source. The Singapore news website in turn refers to several sources. The oldest is a 23 October message issued by a major Thai newspaper
In this post, it is said that in Bangkok, a murdered man had been found in the cloaca of a restaurant. The victim allegedly began drinking something at the restaurant in question, after which the man would no longer have been seen. According to the story, this man's family would have started looking for him at the restaurant. When the man was not there and the restaurant seemed to be further away, the police were called. The victim was later found, but the restaurant owner seemed to have run away. The English-speaking nation also reported on this story on October 23.
We can not say for sure how human flesh was told in this restaurant to customers around the world. Nieuwscheckers of the University of Leiden identified on November 1 an article of October 28 in the Oriental Daily a newspaper of Hong Kong, as a possible source.
This article is a personal anecdote. Someone who says that he or she ate at a vegetarian restaurant east of Bangkok and found a piece of meat in the meal. The guest then reported the restaurant to the authorities
When, according to Oriental Daily police arrived at the restaurant, "traces of blood on the kitchen wall" and a body in the cloaca near the restaurant were found. The man found was reportedly killed by the restaurant owner after the man came to discuss a possible job. The message of Oriental Daily indicates that the restorer incorporated part of his victim's body into the food he presided over at his clients' premises. The report contains the same photos that had already been used on October 23 in the news regarding the killing of a man in a restaurant
Investigators at the University of Leiden found an article in the Thai newspaper Khao Sod in November 1, in which the police state that the narrative that brought the Oriental – and that among other things AsiaOne and NU.nl have finally taken over – is wrong. The restaurant was even rebuilt at the time of the murder and will only open later. Published images of the site seem to confirm this.
Conclusion
A message was posted Oct. 23 in the Thai media regarding a body found in the cesspool of a restaurant east of Bangkok. The restaurant owner was not found by the police. In these stories, there was nothing about cooking and serving human flesh. This story seems to come from a Hong Kong newspaper, but we do not know what comes out of it. On November 1, the local police told a Thai newspaper that the story of Oriental Daily was not correct and that the restaurant was not yet open.
What exactly happened in the restaurant in Thailand remains unclear. but we judge the statement "the owner of a Thai restaurant served human meat to his customers" as false .
