Thread: Phuket Manhunt for Expat Killer: Englishman Knifes American to Death

I think that proves beyond doubt that Thai police and immigration do not have access to British citizens personal information nor the national criminal records database.

We would like to send him back to serve his sentence in his home country. But will his country want him back? ''We would like to hear them say that they are prepared to take this accused man back.''

I am sure Lee Aldhouse wished that this was the case also.

I was told this morning it took the police over 2 hours to arrive at the scene.

The police found out were he lived and broke into his house he had obviously fled but left his dog there, go on ask me what kind of dog he had?

Pit Bull

He could be well away by now, he could even be back in the UK. Hope he gets what he deserves though.

I haven't seen a mention of this on the news (UK), may have missed it of course, but i do know there is an all ports alert for him.
He would not stay free long in the UK, my guess would be he will be found in Indonesia or Cambodia.

I agree that it's unlikely that he has got back to the UK, but if by chance he has, would the UK send him back to Thailand for trial? Thailand has the death penalty for murder, and the UK will not send anyone to any counrtry for trial if the chance of being sentanced to death exsists.

Any body remember that case in Pattaya a few years ago how the Belgian guy allegedly stabbed his ex girlfriend and got out of the country and was never brought back to stand trial?

...

If that 2hrs is correct - could be well onto the mainland by then, before they were stopping/searching vehicles at Sarasin Bridge. 220km to Ranong and a border crossing - though surely they'd know that know if his passport had been used.

Phuket Kickbox Killing: Cam Shows 'Man in Black' With Knife

DRAMATIC footage from inside a 7-Eleven store on Phuket shows a man who looks a lot like British kickboxer Lee Aldhouse obtaining a fruit knife.

Security camera video show the man entering the store at Rawai, in southern Phuket, soon after a fistfight took place at the neighboring Freedom Bar early on Saturday morning.

Police allege that Mr Aldhouse took the knife to the apartment home of the man who won the fistfight, former US Marine DaShawn Longfellow, and stabbed him to death.

Phuketwan has viewed the security camera footage from outside and inside the Phuket 7-Eleven store.

It shows a man in black shirt and shorts entering the store, shoeless. Police say he demands a knife from the people behind the counter.

The 7-Eleven staff are so shocked by his aggressiveness that one of them throws a knife used in the preparation of food in the store over the counter.

It lands on the floor, where the man in black stoops to pick it up. He then leaves the store.

7-Eleven staff can be seen in the footage following him out the door. One of them is already on a mobile telephone, alerting authorities to the unusual theft.

Later, Phuket police find a similar knife close to the apartment where the stabbing took place.

The mother of 23-year-old Longfellow told ABC News today that she thought local authorities on Phuket were not doing enough to find her son's killer.

"The cops ain't doing nothing fast enough,'' Tammy Longfellow is quoted as saying. ''They keep telling me they're closing in on him. Well how long do you think you're going to close in on somebody to catch him?"

Her son served in Iraq and Afghanistan, where a roadside bomb exploded under his truck, damaging his right arm and filling 80 percent of his body with scrap metal, ABC News reports. Longfellow was awarded the Purple Heart for his service.

After her son finished in the Marines, Tammy Longfellow said from her home in Oklahoma, he ''decided he wanted to do more in life. So he decided to become a Thai fighter and he decided to go to Thailand.''

Yesterday the man in charge of the Phuket-wide hunt for 28-year-old Aldhouse and his Thai girlfriend, Colonel Vichid Intharasorn, told Phuketwan he was confident of an arrest soon.

From what I have read in other cases of the UK extraditing to countries that use torture and/or the death penalty; if the country gives an undertaking not to torture or kill the accused person; the extradition can go ahead. The accused could then appeal to the courts saying that the country will break their undertaking, if the courts don't trust the country then the extradition will be stopped.

There's many more on the run in Pattaya alone than Cambodia.

I met one of Scotland Yard's ten most wanted in Bangkok too.

Yesterday the man in charge of the Phuket-wide hunt for 28-year-old Aldhouse and his Thai girlfriend, Colonel Vichid Intharasorn, told Phuketwan he was confident of an arrest soon.

Of course no way would Aldhouse think he would be safe hiding out with the g/f's family......

I wonder how long before the g/f reads about a reward and grasses him up?

He's probably enjoying a few beers in Vientiane or Phnom Penh now, more's the pity.

Nobody has mentioned what a cowardly person this Aldhouse character is.

Must be a fairly bitter pill to swallow.

A muay thai fighter gets his butt whipped in a bar scuffle and resorts to knife fighting.

I hope his inflated pride gets him through life in prison.

Poor, wretched human being.

He'll probably prosper in prison and continue to exploit the foreigners who don't have his fighting skills or attitude.

I think a previous report mentioned the police had his passport. If true, not too easy crossing borders and catching flights. Have they thought of visiting the girlfriend's family in Issan?

A copy of his passport.

You having a laugh, getting into Cambodia from Thailand without a passport would be a piece of piss, might have to dodge a few landmines though.

being on the run for a week is do able, for many months will be very difficult

Did he announce it to you or did you know him anyway?

I'm sure there's a logical explanation for this but i'm thick so I can't see it.


"filling 80 percent of his body with scrap metal"


How does that work then?

We've discussed this in person before Andrew. I met him while in a pub and later discovered the truth by accident when I came across his photo and the relevant information on the internet.
