Is your neighbour in Snookie a murderer?

Cambodia news in English! Here you'll find all the breaking news from Cambodia translated into English for our international readership and expat community to read and comment on. The majority of our news stories are gathered from the local Khmer newspapers, but we also bring you newsworthy media from Cambodia before you read them anywhere else. Because of the huge population of the capital city, most articles are from Phnom Penh, but Siem Reap, Sihanoukville, and Kampot often make the headlines as well. We report on all arrests and deaths of foreigners in Cambodia, and the details often come from the Cambodian police or local Khmer journalists. As an ASEAN news outlet, we also publish regional news and events from our neighboring countries. We also share local Khmer news stories that you won't find in English anywhere else. If you're looking for a certain article, you may use our site's search feature to find it quickly.

That ain't worth a point! The tourist police FB page is like the cute Khmer girls' FB that knows how the use the 360 app. It's never what it appears to be! There's usually a couple of cops on 'patrol' early evenings and at night but they're useless and outnumbered...
Shv (and Cambodia in general) is full of convicts, bail dodgers, murderers, etc.,. Who knew this guy http://m.haberler.com/trafik-magandasi- ... 34-haberi/, a Turkish killer was just until yesterday in Shv while on bail? 8)

As a flyer, he passed through PP twice to get to Shv once, so I figure that's a +1 for Sihanoukville (relatively counting). How's that? Imagelus1:

Someone on Sihanoukville Fb page says that " ...He [Mick] was held illegally for 2 years before they let him go because the evidence was scratchy at best..."
The newspaper articles report that they didn't let him go because the evidence was scratchy. They released him on bail and he fled. I would ten to believe the newspapers on this before believing Mick "I'm in not in Cambodia" the Pom.
Problem is, as PSDKiwi pointed out on the first page of this thread (that I can't get back to quote), the newpapers are getting some of their "information" from these forums.
It's not that I'm more inclined to believe a dodgy guy in a bar more than a newspaper, but when we know that sometimes the "source" for the newspaper may be forum gossip, then I think it's importantant to know the source.
Here it is written "reportedly", which means nothing without backup.
Seng Saroeun, deputy chief of provincial immigration police in Preah Sihanouk province, said yesterday that Michael Taylor – who had been jailed in Thailand over the stabbing death of his girlfriend Jantra Weangta, but reportedly left the country while free on bail – was living on the Cambodian coast.

Correct me if you have seen anything official from the Thai police about MT skipping bail. Even if he did, they wouldn't want to admit it, so it could be that "released due to lack of evidence" is now the official line. If he's not wanted, there's no story.

But that's half the point, isn't it?

We all know how corrupt the police in this region can be, and it's kind of a public service having forums to out these guys that are getting away with it.

He posted bail, then he didn't show up for his trial, and he moved to Sihanoukville. That's not in dispute:

http://www.hulldailymail.co.uk/Police-8 ... story.html

It does seem to be unclear whether: (a) the murder charges against him have been dropped, or (b) the murder charges are still pending but the Thais are too lazy or incompetent or unmotivated to request his extradition

This is a guess but I would think if a murder suspect skipped bail and fled a developing nation there would be an interpol alert raised.

I think it may be possible that the charge(s) were withdrawn.

I think it's possible they were dropped sometime in the last few years. If they had been dropped before he fled to the Philippines, the press wouldn't have reported, after talking to his lawyer, that he jumped bail.

The press has reported not just that he jumped bail, but the amount of bail he posted. The charges weren't dropped at the time he fled Thailand.

They may be dropped now, 9 years later, I don't know.

Even with your recent investigation on the press here in South East Asia you give them unquestionable reliability on getting the facts correct.
