Re: Bar Brawl Murder in Soi 6 Pattaya
13 February 2018
An American national turned himself in to police following a drunken brawl at the Soi 6 Ruby Club in Pattaya that killed an Australian man, police said.
US national Jose Manuel Polanco, 42, has claimed self defence in the homicide. He has been charged with physical assault leading to death.
A 42-year-old Australian tourist from Newport, Victoria, identified as Benjamin Robb, succumbed to severe injuries, including internal bleeding, police said.
He was rushed to a hospital after the quarrel but was pronounced dead the following day.
According to an investigation, Robb allegedly acted aggressively toward a bar employee, at which point the American confronted him and a brief altercation took place.
Both men were said to be heavily intoxicated when the brawl erupted.
Witnesses told police Polanco threw Robb across the bar and kicked and punched him until he lost consciousness, at which point – just 20 seconds according to the bar owner – the fight stopped and the Australian was taken to a nearby hospital.
According to public records, Polanco was convicted in 1994 of second degree manslaughter with a gun in the US state of Florida. For technical reasons he did not serve any of his one-to-nine year prison sentence and his probation was vacated as well in 1995.

Re: Bar Brawl Murder in Soi 6 Pattaya
Seems like tje American has some anger management issue's he needs to address.
Well guess he will have a bit of time up his sleeve to think about what he's done..
Was it worth it ?
