The arrest of Peter Dundas Walbran, 58, was made under a cooperation among the Department of Special Investigation, the Central Forensic Science Office, the Royal Thai Police and the Australian Federal Police.
The DSI was asked by the Australian Federal Police to locate Walbran who refused to return to Australian to be registered as a convicted paedophile after he was convicted and jailed in Indonesia for three years. He instead came to Thailand after his release to work as an English teacher.
