PATTAYA:--A Dutch fugitive wanted in Switzerland for the murder of a compatriot has been captured hiding out in Pattaya.

Ronnie Westdijk, 39, was captured June 6 by Chonburi Immigration police. He had arrived in Thailand on May 4 and was supposed to leave by June 2.

Police said Westdijk confessed to the charges of killing a Dutch woman in Switzerland during a robbery in which he made off with 4,000 euros and two expensive watches.

Why would he confess to the Thai police for an alleged murder in Switzerland? What a moron or wasn't he given his rights, ie he is allowed to keep his mouth shut and entitled to a solicitor. Is Thailand trying to jeopardise the case by forcing a confession from him?

As he's a fugitive with a warrant on him, he likely confessed or was convicted in Denmark and fled before sentencing or from jail. I can't imagine Danish jails being very secure...probably even have work release programs for murderers so able to go on the lam.

What has Denmark to do with a Dutch person arrested in Thailand?

Nothing!

You would be amazed how many people don't even know the Dutch are from the Netherlands or where it is.

Good to see him off the streets...let justice take it course in the Netherlands

The Dutch probably would have little interest in prosecuting him since he is wanted by Swiss authorities.
