Bangkok (Reuters) – After a three-year hunt involving cutting edge technology and police on three continents, it was dogged detective work and a Thai transvestite that finally led officers to Canadian paedophile suspect Christopher Neil.
Thai police Colonel Paisal Luesomboon, who arrested Neil in the dusty town of Nakhon Ratchasima, 250 km northeast of Bangkok, said the 32-year-old knew the game was up and surrendered without a struggle.
“He said he knew he was on an Interpol arrest warrant,” Paisal told Reuters. The only other words Neil spoke were to confirm his name.
