thailand49 Posted June 1, 2022 Share Posted June 1, 2022 2 hours ago, Liverpool Lou said: "...order a Thai murderer compensation?" The murderer has not been awarded compensation! Its common for the family of victims to be awarded compensation. Glad it isn't one sided, because one rarely hear about compensation when murdered by a Thai maybe because never get s follow up. Years ago I heard from my Thai police neighbor such a story but he laugh saying court award the family 500,000 baht basically the conversation was good luck with it he lived in a tin roof shack can't even afford tooth paste. 1 Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
swerve Posted June 1, 2022 Share Posted June 1, 2022 Whatever happened about Neil Henry Elliott, the Northern Irish Brit who murdered a bar girl in Pattaya two years ago? Meth was involved and he was arrested in Thailand. He and Looker are similar. British, monied, and out of control. Last I think I read, Elliott may be back in the UK.

Yes I recall that, possibly fake news because the latest report in the last day is he bar fined her, they went to a Bangkok hotel and she wasn't seen leaving. There you go read that https://royalcoastreview.com/2022/05/former-british-hua-hin-resident-sentenced-for-murder/ I've, obviously, read the link and that could be inaccurate also.

If you've ever watched "Locked Up Abroad" - you'd know that while Thai prison's are brutal - the three years this dude will have to spend there when it's all told is survivable and not really a just punishment for murdering and chopping somebody up. 2 Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

arithai12 Posted June 1, 2022 Share Posted June 1, 2022 I find 8 years for killing the unfortunate lady quite lenient. More recently, there was a comparable case in which a Spaniard killed and dismembered a fellow countryman and dumped the body parts in the river. He was caught and convicted quickly. He was sentenced to death, then commuted to life in Spanish prison. https://www.catalannews.com/society-science/item/death-penalty-reduced-to-life-sentence-for-catalan-businessman-in-thailand Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

I remember when he was named as a suspect. This forum was full of posters saying he was innocent and it was all a setup.

It clearly stated that EU countries will not extradite someone to be tried in a country where he or she might face the death penalty. The Thai authorities had to pledge that they would not seek the death penalty or he would not have been extradited at all. I agree that he deserves to be executed, but it's a moot point in that it has never been and will never be a possibility in this case. Eight years imprisonment is better than no punishment at all. 1 Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
