A BRIT ex-soldier arrested after a Thai prostitute plunged to her death during a balcony sex romp gone wrong has been jailed for drugs offences.

 

Convicted rapist Reece Vella, 27, was detained following the death of Wannipa Janhuathon, 26, in Pattaya, Thailand in January last year.

 

The sex worker mysteriously plunged naked from the balcony of a fifth floor apartment in the tourist hot spot of Pattaya.

 

She suffered severe head injuries and multiple fractures and died later in hospital.

 

Ex-squaddie Vella was arrested on suspicion of causing death by negligence, overstaying his visa and theft.

 

But he was eventually released after investigators concluded the death was an accident - and the result of "strange and extravagant sex".

 

Vella, who was jailed for raping a teenager in 2012, was then escorted back to Britain by police after it emerged he was also on the run accused of drug dealing.

The 27-year-old previously admitted two counts of being concerned in the supply of Class A drugs.

He didn't manage to get his s#it sorted out in the army. But then again maybe he was only there for a few weeks and will carry the tag of "Brit ex-soldier" until he's had another career.

He was traumatised in primary school when he couldn't have pizza for lunch, he was such a nice boy before that. It's a wonder that he didn't get off with 10 hours community service in the UK.

He has been jailed in the UK for crimes committed in the UK and not for crimes committed in Thailand 

Quality Tourist ????

This is about drug charges committed in the UK and has nothing to do with the balcony-sex incident in Thailand:

 

A man who was released from a Thai prison under an amnesty programme has been jailed in the UK on drugs charges.

 

Reece Vella, of Worcester, was sentenced to four years and three months in prison at the city's crown court on Monday.

 

The 27-year-old previously admitted two counts of being concerned in the supply of Class A drugs.

Utter scum. Hope he dies soon.

Burn.

So, he will only be around 32 years when he is released if he serves that. I somehow feel he will be in the news again, so I hope he is banned from entering LOS.

Try a different language. 

The dirtbag should have rotted in a seedy Thai jail with stale rice and rotten boiled fish heads...

4 years, out in 2. 

 

Poor girl life taken for 20 months in a Thai prison.......and he wants sympathy.
