rooster59 Posted May 23, 2020 Share Posted May 23, 2020 Man Wanted in 2017 Miami Beach Murder Extradited From Thailand A fugitive wanted in connection with a man's 2017 murder in Miami Beach was extradited to South Florida after he was captured in Thailand, authorities said. Matthew McGowan, 32, was wanted in the Sept. 16, 2017 fatal shooting of Jose Alberto Martinez Valenzuela. In a news release Friday, Miami-Dade State Attorney Katherine Fernandez Rundle said McGowan was in custody in South Florida. “I want to thank the government of Thailand, U.S. Department of Justice Office of International Affairs, United States Marshals Service, Interpol Central Bureau and F.B.I., for all of their assistance in helping bring Matthew McGowan back to Miami to stand trial," Fernandez Rundle said in a statement.

Baerboxer Posted May 23, 2020 Share Posted May 23, 2020 Seems that if a farang is wanted in another country, the police here are quiet good at finding him/her and then extraditing. However, they're not so good if a farang commits the crime here - seems then the farang can slip quietly away providing the victim was another farang - American who killed Aussie in Pattaya Bar; Norwegian who killed Brit in Phuket etc etc. And they are really bad at getting wanted Thais back to Thailand. All seems rather selective. Wonder what the criteria is? ???? 1 1 Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Just a guess, of course & it just might be what you're thinking of??!! 1 1 Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Learn something new every day. Yes the Thai bashers like to pretend killing a love rival only happens here and they have a fancy term for it.. Fragile Thai male ago .. But in every other country they are simply killers. 2 Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

I thought Biometric at immigration was fingerprints when you enter the country. The perps fingerprints may not be on file anywhere as he was just a suspect, not arrested yet in Florida.

Most likely they will release him from custody since there is an imminent danger that he might catch coronavirus while in prison. I see he is Canadian. I suppose he could apply to be a refugee and then released awaiting his court case on how he is qualified to be classified as a Refugee. 1 Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
