Thai police arrest Czech man wanted for infecting people with HIV

[phycokiller]

its easy to get upset about one person but HIV would have been eradicated years ago, and still could be,  if governments allowed the public easy access to cheap testing kits instead of allowing the medical industry to monopolize them and put them out of reach of most people

spreading HIV, which is actually attempted murder

By your definition ignoring your own responsibility to protect yourself is attempted suicide.

The other issue of underage sex, yes prosecute him without a doubt

Dangerous HIV-infected Czech national arrested in Phuket

 

 

BANGKOK: -- A 52-year old Czech, identified as Zdenek Pfeifer, wanted for criminal transmission of HIV in Thailand, was apprehended in Phuket last night.

 

Cherng Talae station police in Phuket said Zdenek Pfeifer was arrested at 8.30pm by a joint police force of Phuket and Cherng Talae police.

 

Details of the arrest of the criminal was not immediately known but he was now under detention at Cherng Talae police station pending immediate deportation by authorities.

 

Earlier yesterday police have launched a nation-wide manhunt for the dangerous man who has allegedly slept with several young men and women despite the fact that he has AIDS.

 

An urgent order was sent to the northern-based 5th provincial police bureau by the Royal Thai Police Office for the police there to arrest the 52-year old Czech, against whom an arrest warrant was issued by the Interpol.

 

Earlier Pol Maj-Gen Pongdet Prommeechit, deputy commissioner of 5th provincial police bureau, described the Czech as a dangerous man and instructed police, especially in eight northern police, to arrest him on sight because of his sexual behavior of spreading AIDS to men and women.

That isn't even a country.

 

From the sounds of things he committed the crimes in his home country - he was on an International Arrest Warrant. 

 

So why would the Thai police try to charge him with crimes he committed elsewhere? 

He might have spread HIV in Thailand or elsewhere.

Wonder if he was Thai if this much news attention would have been given ?

 

How much news coverage do you think he's received?

If you're basing your comment on something appearing on Thai Visa, I suggest you skim through all the  petty, negative things, as well as the more serious things, posted about Thais (most of it from Thai news sources)  ... which wouldn't even merit a mention if some farang did the same thing back in Farang-utopia.

Police in Phuket have arrested a Czech man who was the subject of an international arrest warrant

 

Wonder why, once again, farang authorities have to rely on Thai police to apprehend someone who's slipped through their hands.

The "victims" share a responsibility.  People who have unprotected sex with strangers can expect regularly to pick up sexually transmitted diseases, including HIV.

 

They might have a small part of the responsibility, as they're taking a risk. At least it should've just been a risk and not a 100% certain death sentence. I hope the animal never sees the outside of a prison.

PHUKET: -- Thalang Police Chief Col Sompong Thiparpakul confirmed to The Phuket News this morning that Czech fugitive Zdenek Pfeifer, 52, was arrested last night in Phuket’s popular west coast beachfront neighbourhood of Bang Tao.

 

Pfeifer was wanted under a red notice by Interpol. He was wanted in the Czech Republic for sexual offences with minors, including intentional passing his HIV infection.

 

Police in Thailand believe Pfeifer may have infected up to 10 people in the Kingdom.

 

The alarm was raised when Pfeifer was spotted at the Tesco Thalang shopping mall yesterday evening (Jan 17) and a police officer on duty there was notified.

 

The officer responded and questioned Pfeifer, who denied he was the man police were looking for.

Hmmm, a quick search reveals that apparently Thailand has few (if any) laws regarding intentionally spreading HIV to unsuspecting partners. If he'd kept his visa current it seems there's nothing they could do !

he was the subject of a INTERNATIONAL arrest warrant so the there is the reason for the overstay, if he went to renew he be caught (hopefully)

A somewhat naive response. This individual is a manipulator who will play every game in the book to have unprotected sex. Keep in mind he has sex with underage boys in a 3rd world where money and education is scarce. Please do not undermine the seriousness of his crimes with this nonsense of "shared responsibility".  There is no excuse for his intent to infect and kill. 

Agree... and also, we have no idea what lengths the guy went to to infect those other people... he may even have used a condom, but made sure it was 'faulty'.

Leprosy? Flesh eating bacteria is more appropriate... Starting with his privates...

[Gillyflower]

I wish you would read and understand articles properly.  He was arrested for these crimes on an International Arrest.....That means he committed these crimes elsewhere.  Not in Thailand.  At the moment all the Thai authorities have against him is Overstay.  The only thing they can do is to send him back to wherever they are supposed to.

 

There is no mention of women, so why would you assume that he is 'bi'?

Exactly why HIV positive people should be prevented from entering Thailand. 

And I suppose all people that are ugly, like alcohol, like purple, like candy, or anything you don't like or approve of should be barred from entering Thailand too?  You sir are a uneducated nincompoop!
