Buchholz Posted November 3, 2011 Author Share Posted November 3, 2011 Life for Leigh man who suffocated Thai wife A man who suffocated his Thai wife in their home has been jailed for life. Rickie Nehls, 30, of Maple Crescent, Leigh was found guilty of murdering Pornpilai Srisroy at Preston Crown Court and sentenced to life, with an order to serve a minimum of 12 years. Nehls, also known as Rickie La-Touche, told police he had killed Mrs Srisroy after she threatened to leave him. Senior investigating officer Andy Tattersall said police "may never know exactly what happened that morning". Nehls was arrested on 26 April after he told his mother he had killed his wife. -- BBC 2011-11-02 Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

DP25 Posted November 3, 2011 Share Posted November 3, 2011 Wonder if the wife had murdered him in Thailand what the outcome would have been? It says right in the article threatened to kill him when he was asleep and then “cut him up and eat him”. Only question is the recipe Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

ianf Posted November 3, 2011 Share Posted November 3, 2011 Star Wars toys? He should get life just for that. I knew an American Guy who's house was full of these toys who treated his lovely and gentle Thai wife like Sh**. The toys were more important than she. The house was full of this cr*p, she couldn't have proper furniture or dust these things (they were absolutely covered in dust, the toys that is!). Eventually she walked out on him. Strikes me as an obsession and these guys are probably quite well into the autistic scale somewhere. I wonder if the guy in Leigh had a mental health assessment?

phutoie2 Posted November 3, 2011 Share Posted November 3, 2011 Doesn't surprise me that this type of personality ends up with a Thai bride. Hmmm - must have met her when he was 20 years old, two years later married and two years later got her visa to UK and moved there. Cowardly act because she was threatening to leave and go back home. Toys story just a smokescreen. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

elwood Posted November 3, 2011 Share Posted November 3, 2011 Very sad story. A child has lost his mother and for all purposes his father too. You shouldn't write sensible comments like that.

damo Posted November 3, 2011 Share Posted November 3, 2011 12 years in jail or "henpecked" for the rest of life. He may have been smarter than you give him credit for.

billd766 Posted November 3, 2011 Share Posted November 3, 2011 (edited) If he is Mr. La Touche, then surely she must have been Mrs. La Touche? Why? I have known my Thai wife for 18 years, been married for 11 and she kept her own Thai name and didn't change her family name to mine. Our 7 year old son has a Thai first name and my family name. On the other hand my first wife in The UK changed her family name to mine and though we have been divorced since 1999 she still has my family name. edited for bad spelling Edited November 3, 2011 by billd766 Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
arfamo73 Posted November 3, 2011 Share Posted November 3, 2011 If he is Mr. La Touche, then surely she must have been Mrs. La Touche?

F1fanatic Posted November 3, 2011 Share Posted November 3, 2011 Its one of those things. Some men are 'obsessive' about certain hobbies and related paraphenalia - Thai women are unlikely to understand this. Of course those men need to be avoided, but again - Thai women wouldn't realise this. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
softgeorge Posted November 3, 2011 Share Posted November 3, 2011 He should of just let her go back to Thailand there are plenty more bargirls lining up to tell him he is handsome and love him.

Cheaper than divorce in the UK, he gets to keep his pension, his house and the kid (when he gets out) Better deal than I had from a judge. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Junglejumbo Posted November 3, 2011 Share Posted November 3, 2011 She may not have got much cash if anything from him to send back to her family in Thailand. Having lived around Leigh and Preston area myself, just isn't the kind of thing that a 30-yr old lad would do espcially given his mother stil on the scene. I expect that she got nothing and that's why there was trouble ending in her death. He probably was a bit child-like and unable to cope with the realities of adult marriage especially with a Thai girl frustrated about not having found the good life she'd hoped for.

Moonrakers Posted November 3, 2011 Share Posted November 3, 2011 Considering the source, the story told is probably nothing like what happened in reality. But what is really getting under my skin is that I can't think of an original star wars murder pun. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
tropo Posted November 3, 2011 Share Posted November 3, 2011 . A 30 year-old man.... suffocating and murdering someone..... over children's toys. . Read the full story....this was not over children's toys.... it was a ticking bomb ready to explode at any time. If he had come back to Thailand it's likely the outcome would have been reversed.
