Belgian arrested in Thailand for wife's murder
By Digital Content



BANGKOK, Feb 25 – Thai Immigration police arrested a 57-year old Belgian, Tcheo Joel Tcharada, a fugitive with valid arrest warrants issued by the Court of Verviers and Interpol accusing him of homicide.

Immigration commissioner Pol Lt-Gen, Panu Kerdlarpphol told the media Monday that Mr Tcharada allegedly murdered his wife, Ms Paschale Daelen on Jan 14 in Belgium and dumped her body in a lake. He reportedly fled to France with his wife’s belongings including an iPhone, ATM and credit cards. He entered Thailand on Jan 24.

Pol Lt-Gen Panu said Interpol had earlier contacted the Thai Immigration Bureau to help track the accused known to have hidden in Chon Buri province following the CCTV camera footage showed he was withdrawing money from ATM machine in Pattaya.

He was arrested in Mukdahan province on Feb 21, when he was about to cross the border to the Lao PDR.

The accused has, however, refused to speak to the police about the charges. (MCOT online news)

He's a "Belgian"? Then why does he look - dare I say it? - Thai? Something doesn't add up here, Dr. Watson.

Maybe he's naturalized or the wife was Belghis.

Note to the Immigration police: If you're also looking for that other infamous person also wanted on a murder warrent and hiding out in Chonburi, you might try the VIP wing of Chonburi Provincial Hospital.

No, you shouldn't say it.

Another irrelevant and stupid remark about a person with a certain nationality not looking like an ignorant poster's view of what everyone of that nationality should look like, then compounding the stupidity of the remark by getting a sly dig in at Thais

Well the aborigines get rare in Europe.....tell me the most common name given to babies in Germany, Austria, UK (most probably also France):

"Mohammed"

In France and Austria the extreme right wing seem to win the EU parliament elections...

I thought it was quite obvious from the post. He's Thai, married to a Belgium woman, thus naturalized. His name is Tcheo Joel Tcharada - which seems like a legitimate Thai name and surname while his wife's name is Paschale Daelen - which seems like a legitimate Belgium name.

Or maybe I'm interpreting it wrong?

What you say is utterly wrong, sir.

According to a Belgium newspaper, he was the boyfriend of the murdered Belgian woman. The article is in French language.

Mankind has had the ability to travel and migrate for some time now, I'm sorry to hear that this development has passed you by, because it has led to some very interesting mixtures of heredity and culture.

Would you believe that there are black, white AND asian people that live in North America for example - amazingly it is not only Native Americans any more, and you can observe similar patterns in most countries around the world.

There are naturalised white people in Australia, and in Africa, and there are naturalised black people in the UK and many other places in Europe, naturalised asians as well! Crazy concept, but it is quite possible that this man of asian heredity may, in fact be Belgian.

I appreciate that the past few centuries may have passed you by, and that presently this revelation may be world-rocking for you, but you'll get used to it (well, you probably should..).

The guy must be a total p%%#, and obviously left the room when god was handing out the brains, He kills his girlfriend then uses her credit cards , he is probably wondering why the police gave him the yellow shirt.

He is probably a Thai with a Belgian passport. However, if there is even the slightest chance to blame it on a farrang they will go for it. Better than loosing face.

Is it possible that something passed you by also? If it is positive a person is always referred to as a Thai. If it is negative, thank god he holds a foreign passport.

It amazes me to see home posters with their racist remarks on a forum where we all are actually foreigners in this country.

Very true, though in the event he happens to be a dual passport holder, that doesn't make him not 'Belgian'. My comment is aimed at the poster that expressed incredulity that this man could be Belgian, rather than the press choices made in terms of characterisation.

Yeah, what doesn't add up is your mental capacity! First off all, he doesn't look Thai whatsoever! He looks very much Japanese to me and his name supports that theory of mine! Secondly, there's numerous possibilities how he could've obtained a Belgium citizenship. Here's 3:

1. He was born in Belgium.

2. He married a Belgium national and was granted citizenship after he's been living in Belgium for the required minimum amount of years.

3. He migrated to Belgium to work there and then applied for citizenship once he was eligible for it.

Next time please use your brain before you post anywhere because then you won't make a total fool of yourself!

He could be a fake Belgian perhaps? Nothing surprises me here in LOS where politicians call the farmers that voted for them fake!

[jimbeam1]

It really annoys me It seems that where ever I go in the world, they are nearly all foreigners.

To all the nutjobs who seem to have converged to this thread, a simple Google search will bring you to his Facebook profile, which will in turn tell you that he studied at a Belgian high school close to Verviers.

And, yes, it is all rather ironic that some members seem puzzled by the fact that an Asian-looking guy was Belgian while they themselves live in Asia.

If you know that there's a guy who's on the run who'd killed somebody, if there's such a warrant, why don't you report him/her to the Tourist police/Immigration?

Or do you really think the Immigration will page you?-

Yes but we don't call ourselves THAI do we?

Rather obtuse. Not sure what point this aims to make at all.

I don't call myself Thai, because I don't have Thai citizenship. I am therefore not Thai.

Some people with western backgrounds do have Thai citizenship. They are Thai, legally Thai.

Ergo, if this individual has Belgian citizenship, he is Belgian. It's really a very, very simple concept.

How about seeing if they can bring back Son of Red Bull while they have the extradition round file open? He seems to have fallen off the radar. I imagine his flu case that so urgently required him to go to Singapore has run it's course by now.......

In this day and age of internet information technology and global cooperation you can get caught even when your half way across the world.

Then anything else than a citizen of the world would be irrelevant I presume...
