george Posted June 9, 2004 Share Posted June 9, 2004 Australian arrested in Thailand for NSW murder BANGKOK: -- Thai police have arrested an Australian citizen and charged him with murder and drug-dealing in his home state of NSW. Police said Emil Chang, 41, was taken into custody at his townhouse in the Bangkok district of Pathumwan on Tuesday after Australian authorities asked for help in his arrest and extradition. At a press conference, Immigration Police Commissioner Lieutenant Colonel Tharnvuth Vacharatuk said he expected Chang to be sent back to Sydney in about a week, in accordance with an Australian Government extradition request. Chang had been been charged with a murder that occurred three years ago in NSW and with engaging in drug dealing. Chang strongly denied the charges, telling reporters at the news conference, "I'm innocent. I've never done anything against the law in my life. I'm a Buddhist and I don't even drink alcohol." Lieutenant Colonel Tharnvuth said Chang, of Indonesian-Chinese origin, had a Thai wife and child and had been travelling in and out of Thailand for the past three years. --DPA 2004-06-10 Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

dr_Pat_Pong Posted June 9, 2004 Share Posted June 9, 2004 The soapdodgers do go on don't they It is a natural inferiority complex they have Bronco. And a well deserved one too The criminals sent to Oz, were in fact, from the UK. Brit's still feature well in criminal matters in Thailand too.

maerim Posted June 10, 2004 Share Posted June 10, 2004 It is a natural inferiority complex they have Bronco. I wish to complain in the strongest language about the above statement. The United Kingdom I will have you know produces world class scum as I have said many time before we only sent second class convicts to Oz. The practise of keping the best has certainly paid off as Brits on holiday are feared the world over. So if you don't mind a bit less of it.

george Posted June 15, 2004 Author Share Posted June 15, 2004 Update: Murder suspect held in Thailand BANGKOK: -- Australia has 60 days to seek the extradition from Thailand of a man who allegedly murdered a Sydney accountant by forcing him to drink hydrochloric acid. Court officials said Emil Chang, a 41-year-old Australian national of Indonesian-Chinese origin, was being held in a Bangkok jail after being arrested earlier this month following a tip-off by Australian police. Mr Chang faces murder charges in Australia over the death of accountant Dominic Li, a Sydney man forced at gunpoint to swallow hydrochloric acid in December 2002. The acid burnt Mr Li's internal organs, eventually blocking his breathing, and he died in hospital three weeks later. Mr Chang, who is also expected to face Australian charges of drug smuggling, has declared his innocence. The official said the court last week confirmed Mr Chang's arrest and ordered him held in jail to allow the Australian Government to mount a case for extradition. Thai extradition law allows other countries up to 60 days from the time of the arrest to present their case to the Thai courts. --The Australian 2004-06-15 Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Bluecat Posted June 15, 2004 Share Posted June 15, 2004 The criminals sent to Oz, were in fact, from the UK. Fortunately, there was some cross breeding with other nationalities,... But I agree, especially these days, it seems there was quite some inbreeding also,... Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
ChiangmaiJim Posted June 15, 2004 Share Posted June 15, 2004 Strange case this one, I think I would prefer to get shot than drink acid! An accountant, Well, those that live by the sword must be prepared to die by the sword! Just as bad as a tax man or an estate agent. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
