Pattaya police took a man called Mr Liternia into custody. His nationality could not be confirmed as yet. 

 

The media said he was hiding in Pattaya.

 

He has been taken to Surin and DNA checks are being made. 

 

The media further reported that the scene of the murder was all quiet while the deceased's mother's property nearby was a hub of sad activity where a funeral was being arranged.

 

This is due to take place imminently.

So he allegedly kills someone 3 weeks prior and doesn't flee the country?  Either they got the wrong guy or he's incredibly stupid.

[sammieuk1]

Was he not Russian yesterday! and today? ???? 

[RandolphGB]

He's Lithuanian, not Russian. Thai media mixed up his nationality by giving him a wrong name 'Mr Liternia' and this was repeated by the usual suspects in the English language media based in Thailand without checking.

I thought that was him walking down soi Buakaow. 

 

Lots of Dodgy guys here these days. 

 

[ezzra]

Not to sound like a lynch mob, but if he's the right guy i hope that he will be dealt with to the fullest extend of the law...

[internationalism]

that was fast arrest, within a day or two of warrant.

Even if they did not disclose publicly his picture or description.

Did he check in to Pattaya hotel in his own name?

Aren't all murderers incredibly stupid?

[Neeranam]

Reminds me of Begbie in Trainspotting when he found out the girl he had picked up had a cock. 

 

Every red-blooded male has been fooled by ladyboy prostitutes, to varying degrees. I'm not suggesting the deceased was a prostitute but ....

And even if he was , most certainly does not deserve to be killed . If he did deceive the punter , sure he deserves a few slaps but most certainly not to be killed.

I recommend that you don't rely on that belief should you ever find yourself on the wrong side of the law.

I was fooled by one who said she had 6 inches. By heck, it was about 4.

2027 for Vorayuth's charges' statute of limitations.   

 

"...so called professional's that allow him to wander the World freely"

He's allowed to "wander the world" because he's not wanted anywhere in the world, except Thailand for his offences here.  Thailand's "professionals" (presumably you mean the RTP) are not "allowing him to wander freely", they have no jurisdiction outside Thailand and cannot stop him doing what he wants, where he wants.

Flee the country - where to? Understandable if he is a Ukrainian as rumours says ...

If the RTP provided the evidence for an Interpol Red Notice, and the subsequent extradition proceedings, he could be arrested wherever he is found within the territory of the signatories.

"If the RTP provided the evidence for an Interpol Red Notice..."

They did and a Red Notice was issued.  The issue is that Interpol's notices are advices to member forces, they are not instructions, and he cannot be extradited from countries where he has not been arrested.

In any case, there would have to be an extradition treaty in place between the country where he is, let's say detained, and Thailand, in order for extradition to take place. It is not as straightforward as some appear to believe.

You're right, but extradition can be accomplished even in the absence of a treaty.

[koolkarl]

He is going to have a sore rear end.

8 years for murder these days I believe!!!!

[Balder]

This guy is a Lithuanian and he meet this ladyboy several times. This must be a complete stupid. He could have left the country straight after he killed her. Either he is stupid or he didn't do it. Nobody with a clear mind kill anyone and then go to Pattaya where many knew him. I think he would think Thailand would be the last place to spend the rest of his life behind bars... Something is not correct...
