Weren't there guarantees given that he won't be executed as conditions of his extradition?

As usual, the Thai prosecutor did not bother to learn the details of his case (hi-so Thais need not be competent at their jobs, as nobody holds them accountable, or even dares have a good hard laugh at them for blatant mistakes).

Whilst many senior jobs with the hai government are held by well connected incompetents, they do tend to do their jobs better than the reporters at the daily mail, sky news or even fox news.

As a matter of interest does anyone know of when anyone was last executed in Thailand for this type of crime ??

I'm guessing a long time ago ,, and also guessing it will be a long time untill it happens again .

Allthough he is probably shitting himself at the thought of some ill trained executioner with a gun that may or may not go off properly .

Still as someone allready said if you cant do the time etc

**taxexile** · 27-12-2012, 09:06 PM

they dont use guns now, they use the pussy option of lethal injection.

but there havent been any executions for a while, and sadly, there probably wont be in the future.

I had that understanding as well. Its one of the reason we have loads of asylum seekers in the UK that are wanted for murder, even though they're guilty they're not allowed to be extradited to countries where they face the death penalty..

I know that even though the death sentence gets passed its not been implemented for a while, although there were a couple of (I think drug smugglers) in Bang Kwang got executed in around 2009..

Last time they used a machine gun was 2002. It was quite a set up.

Lee Aldhouse to Enter Plea to Phuket Murder Charge Next Week

By Chutima Sidasathian
Monday, February 11, 2013

PHUKET: Extradited British kickboxer and accused murdered Lee Aldhouse will be asked to enter a plea at Phuket Provincial Court next Monday.

Aldhouse will finally face the formal charge that he murdered former US Marine Dashawn Longfellow on Phuket in the early hours of August 14, 2010.

The 29-year-old, who fled back to Britain and fought extradition, has been held in Phuket Prison since being escorted back to Phuket on December 1.

He was returned to Thailand last year in a precedent-setting move under an agreement with Britain that had been in place for 101 years.

If Mr Aldhouse pleads guilty, the trial is likely to proceed as soon as possible.

If Mr Aldhouse pleads not guilty, Phuket Prosecutor Tawan Sukyiran will be required to call a number of witnesses.

The American family of Mr Longfellow, 23, has been anxiously awaiting a conclusion to the case.

I heard they switched to lethal injection because America told them that "guns don't kill people".

Crazy fool needs to be hung!

I read it was because of the mess it made, after and the body is given over for the family to deal with, its better by injection.
This man needs to be put down like a dog he is a coward that uses a knife.

gosh, you two are brave fellows

unfortunately for your wishes, Aldhouse would not have been extradited back to Thailand without a guarantee that he would not face the death penalty

mind you, 20 years in a Thai prison may have some interest

Phuket Murder Trial Begins:
Longfellow Killing Was Accidental, Lee Aldhouse Tells Court

Monday, February 18, 2013

PHUKET: Lee Aldhouse told Phuket Provincial Court today that he had gone looking for his missing pet dog when he stabbed former Marine Dashawn Longfellow.

The long-awaited Phuket murder trial began with the judge reminding Aldhouse, 30, of the seriousness of the charge.

Late last year Aldhouse became the first person extradited from Britain to Thailand under a treaty that had been in place for 101 years.

When asked by the judge today whether he was confessing to the murder, Aldhouse at first responded: ''Yes, i did it.''

The judge pointed out that a guilty verdict could leave him in jail for many years, perhaps even for life.

''Did you murder Longfellow or not?'' the judge asked.

Aldhouse said he did not murder Longfellow and said he had followed his lawyer's advice in confessing.

''If you did not murder Dashawn Longfellow, why take the advice of your lawyer?'' the judge said.

Aldhouse was then given the opportinuty to tell his version of events.

He said that he had been drinking at the Freedom Bar in the southern Phuket district of Rawai on August 13, 2010, and was quite drunk.

He said that he had been attacked late in the evening by Longfellow and another man. Barefooted, he went to a nearby 7-Eleven to make sure he could properly defend himself if he was attacked again.

The staff of the 7-Eleven threw a couple of knives to him, Aldhouse said. Back at the Freedom Bar, there was no sign of Longfellow.

Aldhouse said he headed for home on his motorcycle, but when he arrived home, his pet dog was missing.

So he went looking for the dog, Aldhouse said. Soon after, at the Ya Nui Resort, he remembers being attacked and his shoulders were held from behind.

As he turned, the knife he was holding went into Longfellow. He did not know at that stage who he had been attacked by.

Aldhouse said he was shocked by what had happened. He fled Phuket and Thailand soon after, he said.

He could not remember a great deal about what had happened that night, he said.

Aldhouse, in prison garb and with his feet shackled, appeared agitated at times. He was remanded in custody.

The case against Aldhouse will continue at a date to be set.

bullshit . I'm a brit but total cowardice on his part , even now . big boy with no balls !

**FailSafe** · 18-02-2013, 07:20 PM

In two-and-a-half years that's the best story he could one up with?

**Stranger** · 18-02-2013, 07:24 PM

Hang his this filth Ald(shit)house!

I hope Aldhouse is also being charged with theft (7-Eleven knives) and drink driving?

**adzt1** · 18-02-2013, 07:41 PM

^doubt he's worried about that right now.

**taxexile** · 18-02-2013, 07:47 PM

Why does a kick boxing champ need knives to defend himself.

**robuzo** · 18-02-2013, 07:55 PM

"As he turned, the knife he was holding went into Longfellow." Have to be careful with self-propelled knives. Just the other day my wife surprised me when I was chopping onions in the kitchen and I turned and lopped her head clean off. Be careful with knives, kids, they have minds of their own.

**Feticheur** · 18-02-2013, 07:55 PM

should get thai citizenship for that story

**Stranger** · 18-02-2013, 07:58 PM

Aldhouse claiming innocence means the death penalty can be put back on the table?
