British Couple’s Thailand Dream Turns Into Legal Nightmare
A British couple’s dream retirement in Thailand has turned into a legal nightmare. Des and Mary Byrne, aged 77 and 69, were brutally attacked in a land dispute in December 2023. The assailants, reportedly trained in Thai boxing, confessed and agreed to pay compensation. However, in a shocking twist, the Byrnes were later arrested on counter-charges of causing “superficial injuries and mental anguish” to their attackers. Now, as their court date approaches on March 12, they fear imprisonment. The couple has sold their Hua Hin villa to cover legal fees, while their family urges the UK government to intervene, calling it a grave miscarriage of justice.
