Thai Immigration Police have arrested two fugitive British nationals in Bangkok on Friday. Both men, arrested in separate investigations, are wanted in regards to serious criminal matters including murder and child sex offences in the United Kingdom and Cambodia respectively.

Bangkok, the 6^th of August 2010: Following a request made by the British Embassy, Thai Immigration Police arrested Mr. Stuart Scott Crawford [44] in Pattaya on Friday. Mr. Crawford is wanted for the 2008 murder of Mr. Michael Ryan in the United Kingdom.

The pair were had been close friends after meeting in Pattaya on holiday in early 2008. Upon their return to the UK Mr. Crawford moved into Mr. Ryan’s house in Surry, murdering him after an unknown domestic dispute. Before fleeing the UK for Pattaya, Mr. Crawford reportedly transferred an amount of Bt325,000 in cash from Mr. Ryan’s bank account.

Having remained a fugitive in the nation for the past two years, using his Thai wife to rent houses and cars, the Immigration police subsequently arrested him after tracing emails he had sent to his relatives in the United Kingdom to an apartment in Pattaya.

Mr. Fletcher allegedly founded a fraudulent charity organization in order to fund his residence in Cambodia, were he is thought to have sexually interfered with several minors. Mr. Fletcher previously served 18-months in prison in the UK for the rape of a 16-year-old girl.

At present, Mr. Fletcher is accused of taking advantage of a girl under the age of 16, whose mother he had allegedly paid approximately Bt10,000 for an arranged marriage. The young girl and her family live at Cambodia’s notorious Stung Meancheay rubbish dump community, where his charity “Rubbish Dump Project” was supposedly aiding the underprivileged children and families.

Anyone with a brain would have known that if he committed a murder in the UK, they were not going to just "forget about it" and that sending e mails to your family in the UK from your home computer is about the same as saying "here I am, come and get me."

Another valuable lesson in how to be a successful fugitive for those who do not want to be caught.

The Brits are the #1 problem in this country. 99.9% are stinky tattood hooligans, wearing camouflage pants/shorts. A lot of them shave their heads and wear football jerseys.

It costs hundreds of pounds a week to keep just one prisoner in jail the uk.
I suggest the Thai givernment keep these two in their prisons and the UK government can reward the Thai government to the tune of say 500baht per prisoner per day.

Thus creating more money for Thailands prisons, saving money for the UK government and giving these two animals a punishment that is deserved.
