PHUKET:-- Roger Bullman, the 53-year-old Norwegian man charged with manslaughter for the killing of British tourist Amitpal Najaj at a resort in Phuket last month, has had a warrant issued for his arrest after he failed to present himself at Phuket Provincial Court yesterday (Sept 2), Karon Police have confirmed.
 

However, the officer responsible for the case, Maj Techin Deethongon of the Karon Police, told The Phuket News today that he is in contact with Bullman and that he is not worried that the Norwegian will skip bail and flee the island.

“He knew he had to come to court, but he didn’t come because he did not feel safe. He said was he was being hounded by some media following him who were invading his privacy,” Maj Techin said.
