you seem to think most people hiding out here will be caught. You are totally wrong. And sorry to tell you the thai police are the ones partly repsonible for this.

The truth only a very small perecentage of them do. Thailand is a GREAT place for hiding out.

I am told this by prisoners, embassy staff and police here and in europe.The main reason that they do get caught is...

Wow! You have an extensive knowledge of the subject. How in the heck did you amass all of that???

Interesting read for me.

Quite close to home for me...

REALLY?

The murderer:

Christopher Caunter

and his victim:

Deborah Townsend

UPDATE.... The convicted killer's brother and a friend have now also been convicted...

Robert Caunter

Men jailed for helping girlfriend killer

The brother of a businessman convicted of killing his fiancée has been jailed for helping him evade arrest in the hours after her murder.

Robert Caunter was sentenced to three years behind bars at Ipswich Crown Court today.

Last month his brother - Christopher - was jailed for life for the murder of 35-year-old Deborah Townsend. The court heard that Robert Caunter, 39, of Eldred Road, Barking, drove his brother to London in the hours after Ms Townsend's death.

Also before the court was Joseph Brown, 39, of Mild May Road, Romford, who was sentenced to two years in prison for also helping Christopher Caunter.

Parts of Ms Townsend's scalp and clumps of hair were found in a pool of blood by a passer-by on the A146 at Beccles in 2005.

Her partially-clothed body was found the following day in the boot of Christopher Caunter's abandoned Land Rover Discovery in the car park of a fishing lake at Newlands Hall, Roxwell near Chelmsford.

Meanwhile 18-stone Caunter, of Hullbridge, Essex, fled to Thailand where he stayed until he was extradited back to the UK in 2007. The three defendants initially stood trial a year ago but the jury was discharged after failing to reach a verdict.
