Martin Connolly Killed Hua Hin May 15

[mmaggi]

Martin Connolly was in Hua Hin after just buying a condo on a golf course. Friends at work in Abu Dhabi learned he was killed on 15 May. A short fax from a Thai friend said his death was "under suspecious circumstances" and that he was "the innocent party in the incident and regretfully lost his life."

If anyone has any more information, that would be appreciated to understand what happened.

I remember reading/hearing about the incident. The story here was that he was shot by an American in an argument involving a Thai woman (rumor was it was the American's wife). I really don't know any details but you will find a few narratives on forums and news if you google "hua hin martin connolly".

If he was a friend or family member, please accept my condolences.

Does anyone have any further information on this - like the facts, or the progress of the criminal trial, or whether it has been quietly dropped or even publicly dropped as an act of self-defence? Thanks.
