German escapee rearrested at embassy
A German ex-convict who had given his guards the slip at Bangkok's international airport while being escorted home was arrested in the capital on Thursday, police said.
Police arrested the 25-year-old at the German Embassy in Bangkok, Immigration Police Commissioner Panu Kerdlabpol said. "We had officers waiting for him at the embassy," Panu said.
The man was fined Bt6,000 for illegal entry to Thailand, and is likely to be deported on Friday after he "re-enacts his crime" at Suvarnabhumi Airport, the immigration police commissioner said.
"We have contacted the Australians and asked them to provide another escort to take him to Germany," Panu said.
The German was identified as Carlo Konstantin Kohl.//DPA
