He might be able to pay and finish his sentence in NI at a best case scenario. Hope he rots though. I'm thinking back of a similar case of another Irishman who killed a working girl in patts years ago, got the money and got out, he later got convicted of attempted murder of an Irish woman in Dublin and is serving 14 years.

It always surprises/disappoints me to find how corrupt they are. Thanks for sharing. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

The only real difference for most of you is that, if you drive 2 towns away from where you grew up, you probably won't be able to understand what anyone is saying ! I once attended a lecture by British writer Brian Jacques, who wrote the Redwall series of children's fantasy novels. He told about traveling from place to place in England and having a hard time understanding local dialects. Fascinating, or frustrating ...

Only a complete loser in my mind. RIP to the poor girl. Anyone I knew in Thailand had a big knife around the house. They are tools. I have a Thai short sword with a 20 inch blade hanging on my wall. I probably have 150 other "machetes" of various types laying around about the house. I've helped forge a few and I've been accumulating them for over 40 years. One time I was invited to speak English at a classroom of about 5th graders. A farmer kid in back was playing with a short "machete" that had about an 8 inch blade. No one paid any attention. I've had two occasions over the years where police or soldiers asked me about transporting a knife with about a 10" blade (like the pointy one in the second pic). Hey, it's just a knife! How am I supposed to get it home? No problem. The pic of the knife I saw didn't look like it was 23 inches. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

It just doesn't sound plausible that he couldn't of handled the situation without killing her If he was in a right state of mind he probably would of handled the situation differently , however under the influence of drink and drugs that all goes out the window Ive no doubt he has had a few days to think about "what if?"........and many more years to come to contemplate it.

Kerryd Posted May 4, 2020 Share Posted May 4, 2020 So has anyone actually admitted to actually being a "friend" of the guy ? 13 pages of posts and I don't recall anyone saying they actually knew him. The article in the OP mentions just the one Thai guy. (Note - his house is in a sub-division "village" just off of Soi Khao Talo on the Darkside. Got to love how they publish a person's full address in the Thai media. Surprised they don't hang a big "Owner in jail, help yourself !" sign on the gate while they are at it !)

BradWilkins Posted May 15, 2020 Share Posted May 15, 2020 His friend saying he was a "lively" guy was probably due to the ya ice use. Another case of it sending someone totally nuts. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
