Siem Reap expat arrested in Australia re historic child disappearance case
What support, moron?
And what makes you think he'll 'function in his country of origin', with 10 charges over his head?
Your comment just proves my point, that you people have trouble functioning generally, and specifically in your country of origin, only to end up in this Asian bolt-hole. Twit!

Here is the text:
A child's diary that puts a convicted paedophile on Glenelg beach in the days surrounding the Beaumont children's disappearance there in January 1966 has been handed to Adelaide detectives.
The "salvage and exploration club" diary was kept by one boy, and contributed to by another, tracking their adventures diving off the Adelaide coast that summer.
Arnna, Grant, and Jane Beaumont disappeared on January 26, 1966.
The dives regularly involved one of their fathers, Allan "Max" McIntyre, and family friend Anthony Alan Munro, who will be sentenced in August for abusing boys in 1965.
One of Munro's victims and a contributor to the diary was Andrew McIntyre, who is now aged 63.
Mr McIntyre says the diary is evidence that his father and Munro were frequenting Glenelg beach in the days before Jane, Arnna and Grant Beaumont went missing there on Australia Day 1966 in one of the country's most infamous mysteries.
The children were aged nine, seven and four when they took the bus from their nearby home to spend the day at Glenelg beach.
They were reported missing by their parents at 7.30pm, five hours after they were meant to return home.
Witnesses told police they had seen the children playing with a tall, blond man in his 30s. The disappearance sparked one of the largest police investigations in the country's history.

A copy of the diary was handed to major crime investigators by South Australian investigative journalist Bryan Littlely, who urged police to seek the original copy from the main diary writer, to whom he had spoken.
"Major crime [investigators] have material which provides evidence people were willing to cover the truth about Munro – evidence dating back to 1965," Littlely said.
The Beaumont children's disappearance is one of the country's most infamous mysteries.
In his statement to police as part of the investigation into Munro's abuse, Mr McIntyre alleged his father, now in his late 80s, and Munro, now 72, were involved in the Beaumonts' disappearance.
"The day the Beaumont children disappeared was a shocking day in history that stands out in my memory very clearly," the statement, seen by Fairfax Media, reads.

"I believe Tony and Max were involved in the disappearance of the Beaumont children."
Max McIntyre, a former Telecom worker, was investigated over the disappearance after one of his daughters, Ruth Collins, made the allegations back in 2007.
Allan "Max" McIntyre witrh his children Andrew, Ruth, and elder sister Clare.
Police found no evidence he was involved.
Munro, who lived in Glenelg in 1966, was interviewed about the Beaumonts after he was arrested for the abuse of other boys last year. Again, police found no evidence.
Allan 'Max' McIntyre in the 1970s.
In an interview with Littlely in 2015, Mr McIntyre denied his own involvement and pointed the finger at Munro.
Munro's lawyer, Stephen Ey, dismissed the allegations.
"The police who interviewed Munro were satisfied he had nothing to do with it. It's the fanciful ravings of Ruth Collins," Mr Ey said on Wednesday.
Police said the claims about Max McIntyre were extensively investigated and cannot be supported. There was nothing to implicate Munro either, they said.
"Police have undertaken many actions and lines of inquiries in relation to this matter ... there is no evidence at all to support these claims," the police spokeswoman said.
But the diary, Ms Collins and her brother said, supports their assertion that the pair were at Glenelg beach that day.
In a statutory declaration, Mr McIntyre claimed he was meant to go with his father and Munro to Glenelg beach to do some diving, but was told to stay home and they went with other young men.
He said when they came home, both were upset, his father had his hands on his head saying "s---, s---, s---".
Mr McIntyre claims there was sand and blood in Munro's car.
His sister goes even further. She says her father came home wearing a bloodied shirt and, extraordinarily, she claims she saw the children's bodies in the back of the car.
The siblings have demanded that a filled-in well on their father's property outside of Adelaide be dug up, though the well remains undisturbed.
Mr McIntyre was unable to be reached for comment.
The officer in charge of South Australia Police's major crime unit, Detective Superintendent Des Bray, said dozens of people had been named as persons of interest over the years.
These include notorious child killers Derek Percy, Bevan Spencer von Einem – who abducted, tortured and murdered the son of an Adelaide newsreader – and James Ryan O'Neill, who murdered a boy in Tasmania in 1975 and molested others.
Meanwhile, Munro is awaiting sentencing after he pleaded guilty to abusing Andrew McIntyre and another boy between 1965 and and 1983.
The former Adelaide businessman, who was also a Scout leader, was also convicted of the indecent assault of an 11-year-old boy in 1992.
Munro moved to Cambodia to run a bar in the mid to late 2000s before he flew back to Adelaide last year to face the child abuse charges.

Are we to assume that the well in the story has now be carefully excavated?
Or are the promotion-conscious police kept busy searching industriously for perpetrators of Islamophobic crimes and misdemeanors?

So?
Is anyone excavating the concreted well - which supposedly smelled so horid before it was hastily concreted - or
is anyone proposing to do so soon?
Has this intriguing tale simply run out of steam and been forgotten?

A woman claiming to be th daughter of the supposed paedo who was Munro's supposed accomplice in the Beaumont murders posts updates on tof semi-regularly. There was one from a few weeks back which went:
Twice convicted paedophile Anthony Munro is due to be sentenced tomorrow, Tuesday the 29th of August, in Adelaide, South Australia. Munro has been a suspect in the abduction and murder of the three Beaumont children since 1966. My brother Andrew McIntyre, who has secured a conviction against Munro for sexual abuse during the time the Beaumonts disappeared, expects to finally be allowed to read out his victim impact statement tomorrow in court. In 2007 my sister Ruth Collins made a statement at the SA Major Crime department regarding her witness account of the three Beaumont children, Jane, Aarna and Grant, dead in the boot of a car on the fateful Australia Day that they went missing. In 2015 our father, Allan Maxwell McIntyre told investigative journalist Bryan Littley (on camera) that Anthony Munro took the dead Beaumont children to his Edwardstown home on that Australia day. After 12 years of trying to give a statement to SAPOL regarding his own corroborating witness account of what happened on Australia Day 1966, SAPOL have still not interviewed my brother Andrew McIntyre about this event. The stalling tactics utilised by SAPOL and the major crime department in avoiding giving Andrew his legal right to make a statement about the events of Australia Day 1966 have been unbelievable, and in my opinion, criminal. Ruth, Andrew and myself have been treated appallingly by the major crime department in our attempts to give harrowing witness accounts of the children and adults whose bodies and murders we witnessed as children. It seems to me that the SA major crime department are either extremely corrupt, or unbelievably naive when it comes to the sordid history of South Australia's unsolved child murders and missing children. Ruth, Andrew and I all agree that the major crime department needs a severe overhaul! The police Ombudsman in this state has done little but defame me in my attempts to achieve justice for the children whose murders I was forced to witness in my childhood. Instead, the acting Police Ombudsman chose to mislead the Attorney-General about the validity and substance of my allegations. This acting ombudsman just made it up as he went along! Had SAPOL, the major crime department, the sex crimes investigation bureau, the Police ombudsman, and the Police complaints Authority (now defunct due to corruption allegations) done their job when Ruth first made allegations about Anthony Munro's activities in Cambodia in 2007, Cambodian children who have allegedly been abused by Munro since that time could have been protected from harm. The Australian Federal Police also failed to prevent Munro from travelling overseas despite his previous conviction as a paedophile. If I was a Cambodian, I would be very angry at Australian officials who have allowed this abuse to continue.

Anthony Munro was sentenced today in the Adelaide Magistrate’s court for the historical abuses of two boys. My now adult brother, Andrew McIntyre, was one of those boys.
This morning Judge Slattery ruled that Munro be sentenced for 8 years for the abuses he inflicted upon Andrew, and a further 10 years for the ordeals he forced upon the second complainant in the case (who does not wish to be named.)
I was present in court for the sentencing today. Afterwards, in front of media outside, I watched Andrew give testimony to some of that harrowing abuse. He also gave his opinion of the five and a half year non-parole period which Munro received today.
During sentencing remarks there was no mention about the request from Munro’s lawyer Stephen Ey, at the last hearing on 7th June 2017, that Munro receive leniency for choosing not to sexually abuse children since the 1990’s.
This was a relief as Cambodian media have been reporting that Munro was abusing children in Cambodia in recent years. Attempts to liaise with Action pour Les Enfants (APLE), the NGO representing the two alleged Cambodian victims, with regard to Munro proved unsuccessful.
However, Munro did receive a 40% reduction in his sentence for having plead guilty to the historical charges against him.
Once reduced by 40%, the original 18 year sentence was pared down to 10 years 9 months. Judge Slattery then set a non-parole period of 5 and a half years.
Taking into account the period of time which Munro has already spent in custody since his arrest in December 2016, this means that Anthony Munro could be at large within our community in approximately 4 years, 9 months.
According to Andrew’s statements outside court today, there are other crimes which Anthony Munro need answer to which are even more heinous than the ones he was sentenced for today.
It is now left to the Adelaide major crime department to make an important decision regarding the alleged involvement of Anthony Munro and my (now deceased) father Allan Maxwell McIntyre in the abduction, murder, and concealment of the three Beaumont children, Jane, Aarna and Grant.
They can either continue to keep their heads in the sand and assume they already have all the answers regarding the abductions and murders of several missing South Australian children which myself, Andrew and sister Ruth Collins have been attempting to inform them about since 2006.
Or they can reinvestigate our allegations and conform to vocal public opinion that the sinkhole on my father’s former Stansbury Yorke Peninsula property be excavated to search for the remains of Jane, Aarna and Grant.

A slightly confusing, but actual original and interesting story from the Copy/Paste Times.
When the father of three children, whose strange disappearance 57 years ago became a major Australian unsolved crime mystery, died on April 9 the news resonated in Siem Reap where bizarre and murky connections to what has been dubbed The Beaumont Children’s Case emerged about a decade ago.
In January 2014, after interviewing a local author who had been working on the case, I began to break the story, writing, “Does the answer to Australia’s most famous unsolved crime mystery, the missing Beaumont children, lurk in Siem Reap’s dark corners?”
This followed revelations by an Australian woman who claimed her father was the killer. She named some young men who may have known about aspects of the killing of the three Beaumont siblings.
One of the men she drew attention to was a wealthy retired gay businessman, “Mr X”, who the author claimed was living in Siem Reap.
Later in 2014, an NGO began raising questions about a wealthy Australian bar owner and his involvement with local children, and in 2015 Australian news reports revealed that a businessman living in Southeast Asia was connected to the disappearance of the Beaumont children.
This man was Anthony or Tony Munro who had moved to Siem Reap and in 2011 opened the Station Wine Bar, a “gay-friendly” venue featuring ladyboy performers.
In July 2011, Munro had told me that the bar partly targeted men like him – men who had recently declared themselves to be gay. But what he didn’t tell me was that, as a former scoutmaster in Australia, he was a long-time and previously convicted hardcore pedophile.
In 2016, Munro returned to Australia and faced multiple child sex offence charges and in August 2017 was jailed 10 years for his “repulsively evil” abuse of two boys between 1965 and 1983. Later one of those boys, as a grown man, also alleged Munro was connected to the disappearance of the Beaumont children.
Mysteries can attract mysterious people much like a corpse attracts maggots and two strange men also emerged in Siem Reap in 2014 at the time.
One man who claimed to be a former associate of Tony Munro said his adult son refuses to have anything to do with him because the son believes the father sold him to Munro many years ago. Say what? The mere notion that a son could believe that his dad “sold him” to a pedophile business associate boggles the mind, but also highlights what a strange murky world was being uncovered as people delved into this bizarre and unfolding scenario.
That man with those claims was John David Pike. He last departed Siem Reap in February 2018 and a month later, in March, he was extradited from South Australia to Queensland to face multiple historic child sex offences.
Nine News in Australia reported that he is “also said to have ties to Tony Munro the notorious pedophile who was arrested in 2017 in Australia after leaving Siem Reap, Cambodia” and that he “has a very long association with Anthony Allan Munro, who was questioned about the missing Beaumont children in Adelaide but was charged and convicted of different crimes, which he is now serving time for in Australia.”
In September 2020 Pike, accused of sexually abusing six boys in 30 years, pleaded guilty to a range of serious charges including indecent treatment of boys under 16, carnal knowledge, rape and indecent assault upon males. The guilty plea followed an 11th-hour confession on the morning of his trial on September 15.
The court was told Pike was manipulative in his dealings with the boys, who were plied with alcohol before the offences, although at times he offended the boys while they slept.
One victim told the court Pike’s sexual abuse of him started when he was 14. He said Pike, “Had a big house, a boat, Corvette, he bought me presents, we ate at restaurants and took holidays.”
Pike was sentenced to 16 years in prison. His appeal in December 2021 was turned down and the Brisbane Courier Mail reported, “A depraved child predator who once fired a gun above a boy he’d just raped, stating ‘next time, I won’t miss’, has lost a bid to overturn his jail sentence.”
A news report on the disappearance of the Beaumont siblings in 1966. Supplied
Also entering the Beaumont children fray in Siem Reap was a seemingly amiable Australian oddball, James An, aka Su Jia, who had launched an exhibition of his paintings in Siem Reap’s Sokha Hotel in November 2013 and described himself as a dedicated pedophile hunter.
He also claimed to be a Vietnam vet who had served a 16-year stint in the military, to have had worked for 22 years for an American intelligence service and had been jailed in China.
He threw himself into investigating the Beaumont case – which had a A$1 million reward attached to it – subsequently terrifying some locals who he questioned. He also expanded his pedophile hunt and in October 2015, while posing as an Interpol agent and together with an accomplice, he “interrogated” a suspected pedophile and this led to an arrest by Cambodian police who charged him and his accomplice with theft under aggravated circumstances
James An was then exposed as Guido Eglitis, who came complete with an alleged 30-year history of crime. He had been featured in a 1998 Australian book titled ‘Scams and Swindlers’, he’d been sentenced to four years jail in the US on fraud charges in 1988, and he had fled Australia in 2007 while on bail on charges of kidnapping a Brisbane businessman, deprivation of liberty, robbery, impersonating an officer and possessing restricted items.
Eglitis served almost a year in prison in Cambodia and on October 29, 2016, he was released and deported to Bangkok where he was spotted in the nightclub district by journalists.
In mid-November 2016 he was detained by Thai police and deported to Australia where he was arrested on arrival, and in October 2017, he was jailed for three years and three months.
And of course no information about the missing Beaumont children ever emerged.
