SEPTEMBER NEWS!!
Lethal Injection re-introduced (Two Executed)
Greetings Readers,
I trust you are all well.
Live for the moment my friends, live now, for none of us know just how much time we have. So make the very most of it. Count yourselves lucky and enjoy life
If you’re wondering what brought that on, life can end so abruptly and unexpectedly, and you just never know.
A recent letter from a very good friend and fellow Brit Scott Hurford still imprisoned at my former home Bangkwang Prison
Terrible shocking news! Bangkwang Prison is the only Prison where Executions were carried out in
Without warning on August 25th of last month 2 alleged drug traffickers were taken from death row within Bangkwang Prison and executed by Lethal Injection.
I say alleged as I personally don’t know of their guilt, as many innocent people remain imprisoned in
I can imagine the terrible feeling within Bangkwang Prison right now.

I don’t want to dwell on the topic of the death penalty just to draw your attention to this extraordinary astonishing true account.
I am so sadden to see
My heart and prayers go out to all prisoners held in
My friend Scot twill soon be transferring back to the
Any news here seems irrelevant and insignificant in comparison to the above.
Still no news from the House of Lords as to whether my appeal there will be granted for a full hearing or not.
Two favorable articles about me appeared this month in the Sunday Mercury, many thanks to the reporter Ben Goldby and my Lawyer Carla Riozzi of Moss Solicitors Loughborough, Leicestershire.
