DOG DAYS: Phuket murder fugitive 'Mick the Pom' living openly in sunny Philippines

Featured Replies

The alleged offence was committed in Thailand, and therefore the whereabouts of the alleged offender is likely to be of interest to the Thai authorities. We would suggest that any information on the case be shared with the Thai authorities, an email from the embassy said.

This is a bilateral matter between Thailand and the Philippines authorities and the Royal Thai Police are the correct body to take this issue forward, said an earlier email.

No embassy representative was willing to officially claim responsibility for either email.

A lot of Brits enjoy complaing about unfair justice in Thailand - problem is when your own country practices unfair justice, you have little ground to whinge.

Huh? Shouldn't the Thais just call the Filipinos?

    Keystone Cops comes to my mind. Although there is nothing amusing about a dead lady and a possible murderer on the loose

i BET THE THAIS ARE SO FED UP WITH THESE MILLIONS OF FARANGS WHO ABUSE THE THAI SYSTEM.Murder,rob,extort,scam,ALCOHOLISM,drugs,u dont see the thais doing thisPosted Image

Please use Google translate and put that into English mate.

We don't understand jibberish.

Extradition Definition A

The procedure by which a state or nation, upon receipt of a formal request by another state

or nation, turns over to that second jurisdiction an individual charged with or convicted of a crime in that jurisdiction.

Extradition Definition B

The surrender of an alleged offender or fugitive to the state in whose territory the alleged

offence was committed.

Notes:-

An 'Extradition Treaty' has to be in place in both jurisdictions.

All the other options discussed herein are <deleted>.

(Unless you are President Obama).

Not only that, what about the British attitude to justice. It took the UK 110 years to extradite its first citizen to Thailand to stand trail.

The UK will do nothing to bring this man to justice and if he should murder another person the blood will be on their hands.

Try engaging brain before writing nonsense.

The murder was committed in Thailand. The suspect is/was in the Philippines. The British police, courts, embassy, government have no jurisdiction in this. He has not been convicted yet by the way.

The British Embassy provided the correct advice - this is a matter for the Thai authorities who must request extradition through the appropriate channels. As usual the Thai authorities don't seem very interested, and if they were couldn't organize a piss up in a brewery between them. No idea who should do what, as long as its not themselves.

If he was residing in the UK, then again the Thai authorities would have to request extradition, which must go through the UK legal system.

As to you last statement - maybe there wouldn't be any issues if the Thai authorities had not somehow let him disappear mid-way through trial.

The accused happens to be British, That does not make Britain, it's government or legal system responsible for his actions overseas,

How many extradition requests has Britain turned down from the Thai government prior to extraditing Aldhouse ?

The British embassy should be explaining how/why this guy got a new passport. Then take steps to revoke his passport.

It is in fact a matter for the attorney general to make a request to the Ministry of Foreign Affairs for extradition. The ministry should then make a request for extradition through its embassy in Manila to the Philippines Foreign Ministry.

The guy had sex on the beach with a lady boy and then took the lady boy to his house to visit his girlfriend whom they found mysteriously murdered. What a charming fellow. Gives a new meaning to the Sex of the beach cocktail.

A firm alibi !

Well, what's to be expected ? The police know the location(s) of 2 other well known fugitives and have made no attempts to have them arrested and returned either, and they are Thai nationals !

"Someone else's problem" I guess.

Gotta wonder though if the Philippines wants a foreign fugitive living in their country...........

No you "gotta wonder" why Thailand wants so many foreign fugitives in their country.

The Thais have been calling the Phillipinos for years, to work as domestics and other low paid jobs in Bangkok.

If the murdered girl had been my daughter, Mr. Smiley and all the police and judges he has bought off with his offshore money, would not protect him from gentlemen who specialized in their own manner of justice.

On what travel documents did he leave Thailand? Or did he buy his passport back from the police? I regret to say I do not think he is a wanted man in Thailand anymore.

He probably skipped over the 'open' border, meaning he must have received travel documents in the other country to return to the UK.

Taylor denied the accusation and told police that around the time Ms Jantra was estimated to have been killed, he was drinking at the Moonlight Bar in Karon and then having sex on the beach with a katoey (ladyboy), 21-year-old Fonnoi Khonsau.

 

Well, that's about as good an alibi as I could possible imagine (sex on the beach with a ladyboy). I'm sure the police were much persuaded by that one!!!

That, or, did the Pom have sufficient money and/or connections at the time to grease the wheels of "justice" in his favor?

 

Usually when the police and others involved all want to look the other way in a serious crime case, it's because they've been motivated to do so.

 

How come this post has been resurrected? has he been sighted on the strip?

...well what is good for Boss is good for this bloke.

On 10/11/2013 at 5:37 PM, webfact said:

he British Embassy in Bangkok has refused to confirm or deny whether or not he re-entered the UK after he absconded from Thailand, and neither that embassy nor the British embassy in Manila nor the Home Office in the UK have explained to the Gazette how Taylor continues to travel abroad.

 

On 10/11/2013 at 5:37 PM, webfact said:

Asked who to contact with such information, the British Embassy in Bangkok refused to provide any assistance in bringing one of its own nationals to justice.

 

On 10/11/2013 at 5:37 PM, webfact said:

For Taylor to be legally travelling today as a British national, he must have been issued a new passport by the UK authorities while he was still wanted for murder in Thailand.
