Is accused murderer "Mick the Pom" living in Cambodia?

I ran across something interesting on Facebook a few weeks back that I've been meaning to post about. Back in August 2004, a British guy named Michael Taylor (aka Mick Taylor, aka "Mick the Pom") was arrested for murder in Phuket, Thailand.

Image

He allegedly fatally stabbed his girlfriend, Jantra Weangta, through the heart. She was found dead in the rented bungalow they shared. Taylor denied the charge and claimed to have an alibi. His alibi was -- and I’m not making this up -- that he was having sex with a ladyboy on the beach at the time of the murder.

The press reported that the evidence against Taylor included bloody trousers, a large Bowie knife, and thirteen witnesses. The news reports did not say whether the trousers or knife belonged to Taylor, or if there were fingerprints or blood on the knife, or what the thirteen witnesses claimed to know about the murder.

Image


Taylor appeared in court for a hearing in January 2005, but his case was adjourned until October 2006 so that the parties could have more time to interview witnesses and examine the evidence. In 2006, the Thais granted Taylor bail after he posted the title to land worth 400,000 baht. Not surprisingly, after being released on bail, Taylor skipped a subsequent court hearing and disappeared.

Apparently, Taylor moved to Pundaquit, Philippines, where he began operating a bar called Dog's Offshore Bar. In October 2013, the Phuket Gazette reported that Taylor was living openly in the Philippines, using the names "Mick Doggard" or "Mick the Dog.”

Image

A few weeks later, someone opened a Facebook account under the name Jantra Weangta for the purpose of trolling Taylor and advocating for “Justice for Jantra.”

Image

Image

In March 2014, Taylor was arrested in the Philippines for overstaying his visa, and the Philippines authorities detained him pending extradition to Thailand on the murder charge.

That’s where things get really weird. About a month later, the Bangkok Post and Taylor’s hometown newspaper, the Hull Daily Mail, reported that Thai police were “too busy” to extradite him. I can’t find any press coverage about Taylor after April 2014. As far as I can tell, no one has ever reported on Taylor being released from detention in Philippines, or being extradited to Thailand,or being deported to the United Kingdom.


Fast forward to a few months ago. On October 21, 2015, Facebook troller “Jantra Weangta” posted a screenshot of an October 1 Facebook status update by “Mick Doggard.” The "Mick Doggard" account appears to be a legitmate Facebook account used by Mick Taylor since 2012. His October 1, 2015 status update contained two photos of a beach and said "another hard day on the beach."

Image

“Jantra Weangta” suggested that the above beach photos in Mick Doggard’s (i.e. Taylor’s) status update are of Sihanoukville and that this is where Doggard/Taylor is residing.

Doggard/Taylor then responded on October 22, “Who ever make this site could u please keep up to date I am in Thailand now and have no problem with friends or police.”

Image

How in the world could Taylor be living openly in Thailand, with no problems with the police, after jumping bail there for murdering a Thai woman? Have the Thais dropped the charges, due to evidence being lost during the time Taylor spent on the lam? Did the Philippines simply release Taylor after learning that Thailand wouldn’t extradite him? Why wasn’t Taylor's release reported on by all the press outlets that had covered the legal proceedings against him?

I don’t know if the beach in Doggard/Taylor’s October Facebook status update is in Sihanoukville, or if Taylor ever lived there or still lives there. I do know that last year, a totally unreliable Khmer440 poster named “Stains”
posted that “Mick the Pom” was a “solid bloke” and ex-drinking buddy who “checked out Snooky and PP to set up shop after he bailed from Thailand.”

I recently sent a Facebook message myself to the “Jantra Weangta” account asking how he/she knows that Taylor is in Cambodia, and I received a dickish reply calling me lazy and saying “he’s either in Sihanoukville or Phnom Penh.”

He's most likely lying about his whereabouts to throw people off his track. If the expats living in SHV find this degenerate and turn him in to police, I will gain new respect for them. If the story is true, justice must be served upon him. "Good on" whoever that is keeping up the hunt via facebook in the name of the victim.

I'd guess he was in Snooky, or he would just have left everyone to believe it.
Sounds really stupid for a fugitive to have a facebook page with his photo on it.

Does anyone from Snooky recognize the pics? What if you head down Serendipity beach road to the pier and turn right.

One of the pics sort of reminded me of that spot but I could be way off.

But maybe the Thais had no choice but to quietly drop the charges due to loss of evidence, and then they let him return, and he wants everyone to know that he's a legitimate member of the Thailand expat community, not some Sihanoukville fugitive.

I don't know.

Could be right. But I think I'd still like to throw a facebook ghost off my trail, even if charges were dropped. Janta could hit every expat forum in Thailand with his pic, and he is instantly labelled a monster.

That is Cove Beach or what used to be Cove Beach (they may have changed owners) or next door at Lucy in the Sky.

His reply on Facebook seems suspect. I'm guessing he isn't a guy who would be well versed in Shakespeare or even basic English writing skills but the post he supposedly wrote sounds like one of those idiots who have spent way too much time with SEA bar girls that he now speaks like them, or it's not him?

One thing worth mentioning here is that the Mick Doggard FB account is closed to only his close friends, and that the SHV pic above was posted on that, but somehow leaked.

Given he is using a fake name and posting stuff to only (presumably trusted) mates, it's not beyond the realms of possibility that he posted it thinking he was safe. Then it was released, and he immediately goes to the Jantra account to say 'nahhhh, I'm in Thailand. Honest injun.'

Well, he doesn't say that Weangta's identification of the beach as Sihanoukville in his October 1 photo is wrong.

He posted on October 22 that Weangta should stay "up to date" and that he was "now" in Thailand.

If the Thais wanted to try him for murder, he would have been extradited from the Philippines. Assuming he didn't escape from a Filipino prison, and that they let in fact released him, it very well may be that the Thais have quietly dropped the charges.

I like this ad for his bar in the Philippines, especially the bit about the first beer being free before 8am. If he is in Sihanoukville, he will fit in well.
