geovalin Posted October 24, 2015 Share Posted October 24, 2015 Chhay Channyda and Shaun Turton Police in Siem Reap yesterday arrested a 68-year-old man they say is wanted for a kidnapping abroad – an incident seemingly corroborated by Australian media reports, which cite an attacker with the same name and age allegedly abducting a businessman in Queensland. The suspect – detained over an alleged robbery – has also been linked to the suspicious death of Canadian journalist Dave Walker, whose decomposed body was discovered in the Angkor archaeological park on May 1, 2014. Australian expatriate Guido James Eglitis, 68, was seized by police yesterday together with New Zealander Brett Michael Hastie, 44, over the alleged robbery and assault of British national David Scotcher, 66, according to Siem Reap deputy provincial police chief Chao Maovireak, who is also in charge of immigration. read more: http://www.phnompenhpost.com/national/police-arrest-kidnap-suspect Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
geovalin Posted October 24, 2015 Author Share Posted October 24, 2015 Australian fugitive Guido Eglitis arrested in Cambodia after seven years on the run Lindsay MurdochSouth-East Asia correspondent for Fairfax Media Bangkok: A Victorian man has been arrested in Cambodia seven years after he jumped bail in Queensland on kidnapping and torture charges. Australian authorities have known for months that Guido James Eglitis, 68, was living in Cambodia but made no attempt to have him extradited to Brisbane to face charges relating to an attack on a businessman in 2007. Cambodia media is reporting that Eglitis, of Warnambool, has been arrested in the Cambodian town Siem Reap, near the historic Angkor Wat temple complex, following a complaint of violence by a British man. Cambodian police released a photograph of him under arrest. Eglitis allegedly has a 30 year history of crime and featured in a 1998 Australian published book book titled "Scams and Swindlers". In 2007 a Brisbane court committed Eglitis to stand trial in a higher court on charges of kidnapping, deprivation of liberty, robbery, impersonating a police officer and possessing restricted items. Police allege Eglitis posed as a federal police officer when he grabbed a businessman, tied him up in a house and demanded money. The businessman allegedly managed to untie his hands and escape. In Cambodia, Eglitis came to the attention of Australian authorities last year when he claimed to be a private investigator working with Cambodian police on the mysterious death of Canadian journalist Dave Walker, whose decomposed body was found near Angkor Wat. Australian Federal police helped investigate the case for Canadian authorities. In 1988, Eglitis was sentenced to four years jail in the United States on fraud charges. Eglitis would be deported to Australia if he is found guilty of violence in Cambodia.

Suradit69 Posted October 25, 2015 Share Posted October 25, 2015 with his NZ stooge Both sound (and look) like real charmers, but is "stooge" intended to mean "accomplice" or was the guy from New Zealand a mental incompetent who was used as a tool by the Aussie?

alboxblue Posted October 25, 2015 Share Posted October 25, 2015 It say`s he jumped bail from Queensland Australia, while awaiting trial for several serious offences, so if he is found guilty in Cambodia and deported to Australia, shorely the Australians will put him on trial and whatever his nationality, not deport him until he has finished his jail sentence there.
