Police too busy to extradite Mick "the Pom" Taylor accused of killing girlfriend in Thailand

[lostmebike]

'He was heard bragging in a bar in the Phillipines'

Not just a complete scumbag but classy too (NOT)

Hope they can eventually be bothered to extradite him and throw his arse in the monkey house where he can brag away to the Thais in there how he killed one of their own.

Wow a whole month has gone by without filing extradition papers with prosecutors for a guy in custody (and not going anywhere) in the Philippines. Sounds to me like there is some power or political struggle going on with prosecutors and police and this is just being used as tool to try to embarrass one.

Also sounds a bit odd that police would need to initiate extradition since the police already filed charges with prosecutors and this case was in their hands and the courts.

Yes, ex-forking-zactly, there JohnThailandJohn. This guy is not going anywhere and if/when he DOES get here inside of as month he'll be begging to go back home to Wormwood Scrubs to hang out with his "Snatch" and "Nill by Mouth" crowd there.

He sticks out like a sore thumb in a Phils lockup.

That's not good for one's health.

Great thing is that it's going to take an English Language process to get him extradited. And in this case there's no deep pockets Anglo in the house to do it. The guy will never be able to bribe his way through the door in Phils and if the food he gets in the joint there doesn't do him in, don't worry, some high-minded inmate surely will.

Let him rot in hell.

I can imagine they're too busy as everyone will want to be on roadblock duty over the holiday period.

it's all a matter of priorities.

It's pointless to ask why the Interior Minister isn't all over this and questioning the Pol Col involved's competence and suitability.

The holiday period must be along one , Mick has been MIA since 09 , then again the DSI have been seriously busy chasing shadows in the Democrat party.

Sorry, but the DSI has no authority in the case in respect to the local police pace.

You are confused about one aspect: Phuket is in the Democrat Party heartland. If the locals don't like a copper, he gets the heave ho. Phuket is the apex of corruption in Thailand, and surprise, surprise, surprise, its Democrats in charge in Phuket.

The DSI has no authority.............? Total rubbish - the DSI can take over a case if they so desire. Chasing Dems is exactly what they have been busy doing.

Phuket is no more an apex of corruption than Pattaya (Chonburi), Samut Prakarn, Pathum Thani or Mae Sot.

This is a pure & simple case of police negligence (similar to the Thong Lor - Ferrari driver case) where the brown envelopes have been delivered and there's nothing more in it for the BIB.

Phuket may be Dem but the police are PTP (Thaksin) owned.

Oh no, not another Thaksin bash...it interesting how when things are wrong, it's either the Democrats or the Thaksin clan.

Wonder who people blamed their problems on before Thaksin?

Of course the Democrats ...

Carry on now, everyone enjoys the bashings, but no one has mentioned how this guy got out of the country,

when his passport should of been taken away when he was released on Bail...

Let that one sink in for a moment...

I believe it is called the Royal Thai Police which is a national organization with little local control, and who controls the police PTP.

[Thai at Heart]

On who's request was he arrested?

Surely you can't ask a foreign country to arrest someone on your behalf and then not submit the extradition.

[Travel Dude]

Col Danprai, a quality cop....

[Seastallion]

If it wasn't him then maybe the Lady-boy did it.

Couldn't have been, because at the time of the murder the ladyboy was on the beach having sex with a farang.....that's her alibi anyway.

[Nip]

police too busy, more like there is no money in it for them. The thai police are totally hopeles, they just dont like work, thats why they join, they simply dont want to have to do anything physical to earn their pay, thay much rather just accept cash payments from those breaking the law.

Maybe they already got their cut?

[JohnThailandJohn]

Surely you can't ask a foreign country to arrest someone on your behalf and then not submit the extradition.

Certainly you can be arrested in one country for a warrant in another. Extradition process can go on years but I believe the Thai / Philippine treaty allows a wanted person to be held for 20 days and then released unless a request for extradition is requested and basic paper work is sent that includes info about the crime.

Something sounds off about this story including the fact that Prosecutors cannot seek extradition and are banned legally from requesting police assistance in extradition when somebody had fled they are currently prosecuting.

[FNQ]

" claiming he had been having sex on a beach with a ladyboy at the time Miss Weangta, 27, was killed."

Now, this kind of alibi any criminal would be proud to have and tell the world...

But will look good on his resume particularly while staying at bangkok hilton some day.

Well, of course they will be ending up releasing him. How very convenient.....

The are busy persecuting journalists for the Royal Thai Navy, that girl was from Issan anyway. You do realise that there is one law for the rich and one for the poor??!!!

They actually have more than two laws based "level" of wealth and privilege. In other words if two high class level 3s had a squabble or one level 3 hit and run another level 3 then the tie breaker would be wealth and land. In the case of a police death such as the hit and run cop killing on Sukhumvit, the breaker was clearly wealth since we have to assume that police value the lives of their own more than ordinary Thais and wealthy level 3s and 2s.

[tiffanystoyz]

Same Same Never change in 6 months he will get new visa for Thailand then can kill another lady here quality tourist in deed. But as useful as a Thai cop.

[chooka]

The case has provoked uproar in Thailand, with questions being asked of both the British and Thai authorities after Mr Taylor was permitted to slip through the nets.

I don't see how the British authorities could stop him leaving Thailand.

Well it wasn't Thailand's fault so it had to be the British

[diehard60]

Yep they are all ways too busy. They never do thier jobs like they are supposed to unless their boos says to go to work and then they ask WHAT? WORK? Oh my GOD>

Suspend passport, or revoke it.

A passport can be red flagged.

I highly doubt it - I think the above story is not fully explaining things as it appears the Thais already have made the case to the Philippines they plan to extradite otherwise they wouldn't still be holding him. Can only guess but sounds like they may just be waiting to actually file all the legal paperwork requesting he be returned which will likely begin the process of court hearings, arguments and appeals assuming this guy will fight extradition. For all we know he is going to voluntarily return and that is now being worked out behind the scenes. Just because we don't understand the process, we shouldn't jump to illogical conclusions. Thailand is very experience in the extradition process and if I am not mistaken this is the same jurisdiction that the got the Britain back who killed a US Marine .... a much harder feat than getting somebody back from the Philippines, I would imagine.

Did the Thai authorities try to have this done?

[mrtoad]

What has Thaksin, PTP, The Dems go to do with this thread? Give it a rest.

This is more to do with corruption in The BIB, which will be there whoever is trying to run this country. It is an absolute disgrace that this bloke was able to leave the country simply, and that nothing has really be done about it.

[bbbbooboo]

Just when you think you've heard it all. Thai police too busy doing their job to do their job...who would believe it?Not me for sure

[oldsailor35]

No doubt too busy helping the BKK police decide how to get the gutless little dictator Suthep to give himself up and face his crimes. Anyhow they cannot go against their arrangement with Mick the Pom as he did give his block of land to one of the top cops to be allowed to walk !

[oldsailor35]

So if the family want justice they have to block the police stations in Phuket? What kind of useless people are employed in Phuket? Since the case went to court earlier, that means the paper work is already done and the man is already arrested. They just have to sign their names in the dotted line. It is obvious that they refuse to do it. Did the killer pay them off? If not, they would have got him extradited long time ago.

apparently, Mick owned a large piece of land on Phuket which was "confiscated" when he absconded..................not a bad arrangement was it. I wonder who owns that land now ?

You have to understand John ! the higher echlon of the RTP do not really have a lot of time to mess around with people such as Mick the Pom. They do have families, Golf and their Mia Noi's to attend to , and lets face it, Mick did the right thing by them, when he absconded and surrendered his property ( Land) on Phuket to them.

Am still wondering who owns that now, guess it would be too hard for some young journalist to investigate, although i do not think there are any journalists in Thailand who has yet thought of this line of work, have'nt seen any yet.

[oldsailor35]

Well there is now a new "Top Cop" on Phuket, the previous one has been moved on ! Lets hope that this guy is all he is made out to be. His designated job is to "shake up " the Phuket police force...................we'll see.

[Chicog]

No-one considered that putting him on trial might actually put the spotlight on who it was that took the land deed in return for letting him go?

The cops in Phuket are very edgy right now, one of the Dive Shops reported that they were contacted by their local police station and offered the return of their bribes if they promised not to go to the Feds.

Hi Old Sailor

The only reason at all that we even have to deal with these murderous peckerwoods is that the jails in our own jurisdictions are too expensive to accommodate petty violent offenders. The end up here. And they do things like this. Or they threaten you in a bar. Or they steal from or scam their contemporaries.

This ain't Disneland.

The web AND this forum are truffled with examples of guys from all classes who float over here in a daze. Most of them fall into the same behaviour patterns they traced back 'ome. Stay in a daze. Run out of money in a daze. Revert to their customary behaviour in a daze. And get themselves royally and vigorously rogered by the local environment.

Patts is simply teaming with 'em.

But there's heaps of 'Most of them fall into the same behaviour patterns they traced back 'ome.em in Phuket, Samui, Bangkok and CM (slightly fewer)

One drunken Maury Povich, Jerry Springer idiot box train wreck after another.

And Who doesn't love a good train wreck ;-?
