Buchholz Posted July 25, 2012 Author Share Posted July 25, 2012 (edited) The best bit: "...found Robert Dominique Bernard working at an electronics parts factory in Lamphun province..." The other paper lists his employer as Cherrytech Asia Co. in Muang district of Lamphun province where he worked as a technician. The company is headquartered in Portsmouth, UK. Police said Bernard left for Thailand on the same day as the shooting and travelled with an Ivory Coast passport. Interpol lists Kouaolio Christophe Brou as his name on the above passport.

elwood Posted July 25, 2012 Share Posted July 25, 2012 i wonder who grassed him up,was it a girlfriend who knew the truth or got upset and told the police Why do you assume he was grassed up and suggest a girlfriend? Reading the report it seems that Interpol informed Thai police about his passport name and he was tracked down, . Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Popular Post trainman34014 Posted July 25, 2012 Popular Post Share Posted July 25, 2012 Oh goody goody, another scumbag for the British taxpayer to support for around 14 years in the slammer. Not only that but when he gets back he will start claiming benefits for all the rest of his family that are back there as well, and when he is released he will be given a free council house and 300 quid a week to live on. Be better if they put a bounty on these peoples heads to be claimed when returning a corpse. 3 Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Until we discovered 3 strikes and jail for life and the death penalty. Now we can proudly state we have the most people incarcerated of any industrialized nation. 3 Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
