Cops catch wife-hurler at hotelImmigration police commissioner Pol Lt Gen Sompong ChingduangA British tourist who allegedly threw his Thai wife off a balcony in Rayong last month and then fled during the police investigation has been apprehended, said the Immigration Bureau chief. Pol Lt Gen Sompong Chingduang told a press briefing on Wednesday the suspect had been identified as David John Marshall, aged 47. Mr Marshall was arrested on May 16 after a hotel operator in Soi Lat Phrao 130 in Lat Phrao district, Bangkok informed police that the suspect had checked into his hotel. Pol Lt Gen Sompong said the suspect used a biometric passport to check in, which alerted the hotel operator to his fugitive status. On that day paramedics arrived and treated the injured and still-conscious woman at the scene before taking her to hospital.
