******NOTES******AND******CORRECTIONS

Please note that the victim is Austrian not Australian.

The woman claims that she grabbed the first item that came to hand, only realising later that it was a knife.

Yeah yeah sure!!

If she was standing near the television set at the time she might have picked up the remote control.

This looks like a classic Pattaya open and shut case.

She opens him up, tells the BIB about how he used to slap her about and speak bad to her.

He pays 1/2 a mill in "compensation" and "costs", case closed.
