Whoever he is and wherever he is really from it seems like the death penalty would be an ideal opportunity to rid the earth of a grade one scum bag.

Phuket's Kickbox Killing: Stalker Struck in the Dark

POLICE believe the Phuket kickbox killer may become increasingly desperate while he stays on the run. Officers have staked out the Rawai home of the prime suspect and named him as Englishman Lee Aldhouse, 28.

Inside the house, most of his possessions remain. Police have a copy of Mr Aldhouse's passport. Officers also say that as he was not working and has already been on Phuket for several months, he is likely to be running short of cash.

Sad though the killing of 23-year-old American Dashawn Longfellow has been, even in tragedy Phuket provides an overlay of tropical island living: Mr Aldhouse lived at a spot named Happy House, and his murder took place at a resort with the alternative name of Paradise Beach.

Mr Aldhouse is unlikely to try to fly off Phuket: officials at the airport would quickly recognise him. Security has also been intensified at Tachatchai Checkpoint, which guards the only highway leading to the single bridge off the island.

Crossing neighboring national borders without paperwork or catching a local boat seem improbable courses of action.

Could he lay low on Phuket? Possibly, especially if he has the help of friends. Sweethearts Bar hostess killer, American Ronald Fanelli, held out alone for four weeks and a day before he was eventually nabbed by police last month.

Police believe that Mr Aldhouse did not return to his place at Happy House after Mr Longfellow was stabbed to death, and that he is still somewhere on the island. Booking into a guesthouse, though, as Mr Fanelli did, is less likely. Photographs of Mr Aldhouse are being widely exposed, making even travel by motorcycle difficult.

Here's what happened on Friday night, the night kickboxing exponents Mr Longfellow and Mr Aldhouse first met, with a timetable up leading to what police say was their second fatal and final encounter:

Friday evening: Mr Longfellow goes to the Freedom Bar in Rawai with five friends. Mr Aldhouse is at a neighboring table, drinking with his own friends. Sometime after 3am, two men meet by chance in the toilet. Mr Aldhouse picks a fight and punches are thrown. Mr Aldhouse hits the floor. Friends hear the commotion and break up the fight, but not before one patron calls 191 for the police.

3.30am By the time officers arrive, the fight is over. Mr Aldhouse is already about 100 metres down the road at the local 7-Eleven store. Inside, he grabs one knife, snatching it from the kitchen bench where sausages are usually prepared, and walks out.

3.45am Mr Aldhouse goes back to the Freedom Bar, where bills have been paid and Mr Longfellow and his group have headed off. Mr Aldhouse is told by someone where Mr Longfellow lives.

4am Mr Aldhouse arrives at the Ya Nui Resort II, otherwise known as Paradise Beach, where Mr Longfellow rents a 15,000 baht-a-month apartment. He sees that Mr Longfellow is not home, and opts to wait in the darkness outside.

4.30am Mr Longfellow arrives at his apartment. It's a self-contained unit, with a living room-kitchen, two bedrooms and a bathroom. Soon after he dismounts his motorcycle, he is attacked. A two-centimetre stab wound is made to his chest. He runs into his apartment, through the sliding door. He is attacked again, and this time a knife wound goes deeper into his chest. His girlfriend, awakened by the noise, comes from the bedroom to see her boyfriend lying on the livingroom floor. She sees a man fleeing through the door.

4.45am The same two police who were at the Freedom Bar earlier that morning answer an emergency call to Ya Nui Resort II. By the time they arrive, Mr Longfellow is dead. Officers find one bloody knife, discarded 300 metres from the scene. Inside the apartment, a second knife with a bloodied blade is also found. It is not known how the second knife, which belongs in the apartment, came to be bloodied.

Before dawn The hunt begins immediately for ''Mr Lee.'' 7-Eleven staff have reported the theft of the knife to police. They identify the blade found 300 metres away as a 7-Eleven knife. Police have been told about the trail off destruction wreaked by ''Mr Lee.'' There are two men who roughly fit the description, and who are known to police. One is an Englishman, the other is a German.

Saturday The first alert goes to Phuket International Airport, the Immigration HQ in Phuket City and Tachatchai Checkpoint, outlining what officers have learned about ''Mr Lee.'' Police talk more to people who were at Freedom Bar earlier in the morning and look at the security camera footage taken outside the 7-Eleven store. The alert goes out: the man they wish to interview is Englishman Lee Aldhouse. He already has quite a reputation. Now he is a murder suspect, and a fugitive.

Talk is nice....as we just go through the motions. Why not further such action and rid the earth of similarly related destructiveness?

I thought that but.....
That was in 2006....fresh into Thailand...beefed up and shaved head, same tatt on arm though, jump to 2009/10...a trimmer person with hair, the long-ish face is similar, check at the end of the vid above, and remember it was 4 years back.

What we need now is Paul Gascoigne to turn up with a six pack and a KFC and talk "Aldy" into doing what "Moaty" did.

Why not? That's what Thai criminals do.

I never read in any article that the American was in anyway causing trouble or being a prick. The English guy on the other hand seems to be a complete asshole and have a history of violence and being a complete wanker.

No it's not. But where I come from it's not acceptable to threaten or use violence against females either, even if you are married to them or if they are solicitors. Do you find this type of behaviour acceptable?

^wasting your breath, err finger strokes, EN. buriramboy has some sort of fixed hatred for Americans so there's no reasoning with him.

^He's fishing in Pakistan at the moment.

Thailand should focus their resources on banning Western expats and booze, not methamphetamines.

What a strange opinion.

Why in the world would they want to do that?
