webfact Posted February 28, 2022 Share Posted February 28, 2022 Thai authorities released these surveillance camera images of two people they are searching for in the murder of a former B.C. gangster. PHOTO BY THAILAND NATIONAL POLICE Postmedia has learned that Matthew Dupre has been arrested in Canada, but that Gene Lahrkamp is still on the run by Kim Bolan TRAIL, B.C. — When Ron Joseph first heard that a Trail man was a suspect in a gangland murder in Thailand, he didn’t immediately make the connection to his neighbour up the mountain. He went to his beer league hockey game and “everybody was talking about it” trying to figure out who it was. The next day, Joseph saw a Postmedia report mentioning that accused killer Gene Lahrkamp was a dog breeder and it clicked: The younger guy he had many casual conversations with was alleged by police to be an international hitman. “It’s shocking because it’s out of the ordinary,” Joseph told Postmedia News. “Never would have known he was a hitman.” Since moving to the top of Lookout Mountain just over four years ago, Lahrkamp had friendly interactions with the neighbours he passed on his daily walk with one of his Belgian Malinois dogs.

Yes, the guns were sourced locally and I would have thought to arrange a couple of hitmen locally also. 2 guys could have just disappeared into the night then off to Nakon Nowhere and not heard of again. Would've been a better option than sending a couple of Canadians. 1 Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
