British Man Arrested in Thailand for 2004 UK Murder Case

Thai authorities arrested 62-year-old British national David Stuart Armitage, a suspect in the 2004 murder of his Thai wife, Lamduan Armitage, whose body was found in the Yorkshire Dales and identified in 2019 through DNA testing. Lamduan, known as "The Lady of the Hills," had moved to the UK with Armitage and their children, reportedly enduring domestic abuse before her disappearance. Armitage was captured in Kanchanaburi Province on January 23, 2025, after years in hiding. His residency permit was revoked, and he was detained for extradition under the Thai-UK Mutual Legal Assistance Treaty. The arrest, achieved through Thai Immigration and the Department of Special Investigation, underscores the value of international cooperation in solving long-standing cases and delivering justice.

I'd hand him over to his murdered wife's family. Let them decide how justice should be carried out...

Could be about to bring a new meaning to the word "Armitage Shanks".
