The private Cherokee plane was carrying four people who all died in the crash. It came only four days after Mr Lahrkamp had been listed as Canada’s second most wanted fugitive in the country’s Be on the Lookout (BOLO) programme by officials in Toronto. by James Morris and Son Nguyen From the moment the two hitmen stepped back onto Canadian soil last February after the murder of crime figure Jimmy Sandhu, their fortunes began to unravel. 36-year-old Matthew Dupre sits in custody in Alberta as he fights extradition to Thailand while his alleged partner in the assassination of Mr Sandhu, Gene Karl Lahrkamp has been declared dead in a plane crash last Saturday while on the run as a fugitive. The hitmen found themselves pursued not only by police in Canada and Thailand but also by both rival gangs with links to Sandhu who they mercilessly gunned down at his villa in Phuket on February 4th last. This followed a robust, lightning speed and highly successful police investigation which identified the pair to the world. One of the two murder suspects identified by Thai police over the murder of drug lord Jimmy Sandhu in Phuket on February 4th last died on Saturday in a plane crash near Sioux Lookout in Canada’s Ontario province. The news came just four days after 36-year-old Gene Karl Lahrkamp had been named the second most wanted man in Canada in an appeal to the public to track him down based on a warrant for his arrest issued in Phuket on February 11th last for murder.

bendejo Posted May 4, 2022 Share Posted May 4, 2022 Look up the location on map. Gotta wonder where they were going, was it supposed to be a drop-off where they would live like Grizzly Adams for a year before starting a new life with new IDs? And someone altered that plan for them. Or maybe not. Sounds like they had quite a few enemies. 2 Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Popular Post Canadian Snowbird Posted May 5, 2022 Popular Post Share Posted May 5, 2022 The flights started on Canada's west coast with 4 passengers plus gear in a small 4 seater Cherokee airplane with stops every 7 to 8 hours. Dryden to Marathon in NW Ontario is a 6 to 7 hour drive and similar time in a small plane. Its pretty rugged country in NW Ontario and the weather can be very unpredictable this time of year. I've hit snow driving the Trans Canada Hwy in that area in late April before. Some comments here say "how convenient", but it's true. It's all over the news here. Pretty hard to fake dna recovered from the wreckage. I guess you could say justice has been served ... karma wins again. 6 2 Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Easy to hide when you are not really bring pursued, and Interpol is ignoring Thailand's request, due to a lack of respect, and the knowledge that he is above the law here anyway. 1 Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
