Birmingham kickboxer murder suspect could be in Laos

A MIDLAND kickboxer suspected of murdering a US marine in Thailand may be on the run in Laos, it was claimed last night.

Lee Aldhouse, 28, allegedly stabbed DaShawn Longfellow to death in the early hours of last Saturday following a bar fight on the paradise holiday isle of Phuket.


The Birmingham fighter has reportedly fled his home on the Thai island.

And a source close to the investigation says he may now be living in Laos or Malaysia, hiding among tourists.

“He’ll probably be somewhere on the backpacker trail.

“He’s a very well built white man, so he would stand out like a sore thumb anywhere else,” the source said.

“The police are not any closer to catching him at this stage.

“They have focussed all their attention on Phuket, but he is almost certainly gone.”

Aldhouse, whose ring nickname was Pitbull, moved to Thailand in 2006.

He had reportedly been part of the Thai boxing circuit until a year ago.

He reportedly picked a fight with decorated Afghan war veteran Longfellow at a pub, where the American was having drinks with a Thai girlfriend.

The unemployed Brummie was a regular at the bar.

He was said to have been known for “getting drunk and picking fights and bragging that he’s invincible”.

The bar fight was broken up, but cops say Aldhouse followed kickboxing fan Longfellow back to his hotel, where he was stabbed in the chest.

The source claimed: “Aldhouse got involved in a similar incident two years ago.

He will be shitting himself if he reads this post, .........way to go tugboat

He's long gone that's over a week now

They nabbed the Yank bar girl killer there after more than a month. Not the same circumstances, but who knows?

He sounds dodgy, so it's possible he already posessed a fake passport and was on a plane a couple of hours after the incident - then again , he would be on airport CCTV which you would presume would be checked - as would all border checkpoints.

As mentioned, he may have made to Laos or somwhere, but with little money, a fake passport would be hard to get so he would be stuck there unable to work etc.

That leaves Phuket or elsewhere in Thailand.

Unless he managed to fly out before the alarm was raised for him (which I doubt) his days are numbered any way you look at it..

With his ex army buddies throwing in money to get him bashed in prison. I really wouldn't like to be in this guys shoes.

He'll probably take he gutless way out and lop himself if they are close to catching him.

Not all border checkpoints have cameras nor are all computerised.

If he has escaped out of the country, don't expect the Police to announce it as it would be a massive loss of face for them.

Breaking reports that Alderhouse has been arrested - at a UK airport.....

Phuket murder suspect Lee Aldhouse arrested at UK airport


Fugitive murder suspect Lee Aldhouse, now in custody in UK.

PHUKET: Fugitive murder suspect Lee Aldhouse has been detained by airport authorities while trying to enter the UK, the Gazette has learned.

Lt Col Anukul Nuket, investigating officer in the case, confirmed that Chalong Police received the news from British officials yesterday.

Chalong Police are now compiling evidence to try and have Mr Aldhouse extradited to Thailand to be charged for the stabbing murder of 23-year-old American Dashawn Longfellow in Rawai on August 14.

Mr Aldhouse, 28, was the target of an international manhunt for almost two weeks, after he allegedly followed the American home and stabbed him after the two engaged in a bar fight in Rawai.

Chalong Police will pass all evidence in the case to the Phuket provincial public prosecutor, who is expected to file an extradition request with the British Embassy in Bangkok as soon as possible.

The embassy will then liaise with Thai Ministry of Foreign Affairs, he added.

Forensics Police have confirmed that the knife found at the scene was the murder weapon and a report from Vachira Hospital Phuket has confirmed that Mr Longfellow died from the knife wound, Lt Col Anukul said.

More damning evidence is available in the form of CCTV footage of a man closely resembling Mr Aldhouse entering a nearby 7-Eleven convenience store just before the time of the murder and ordering terrified staff to give him knives.

All evidence required for the initial extradition application is expected to be compiled today, Lt Col Anukul said.

Chalong Police hope to have the suspect back in Phuket within a week to be formally indicted, he added.

So, it has to be asked, how on earth did he manage to leave Thailand?

Very quickly, more than likely.

Probably got back to his abode, thought 'Oh Shit', grabbed his passy and some clothes and headed straight to a border by sunrise.

Flying back to the UK though, as an international fugitive... not exactly the mintiest tictac in the box.

In fairness, what else could he do? Roam the Asian countryside as a nomad?

murder carries the death sentence in Thailand , extradition will not be straight forward .

I cannot find anything else regarding his arrest only in the phuket cazette no mention of which airport.

As for having him back within a week I don't think so
