A British kickboxer has been sentenced to 25 years in jail in Thailand for the murder of a former US Marine on a resort island.
Lee Aldhouse from Birmingham pleaded guilty to stabbing to death 23-year-old Dashawn Longfellow in 2010, after being beaten up by the military veteran during a brawl at a Phuket bar.
The Phuket provincial court reduced Aldhouse's sentence from a life-term because of his guilty plea. He had initially denied the murder charge.
Aldhouse was a semi-professional kickboxer who fought under the nickname 'Pitbull'.
He had been living on-and-off in Phuket, where Mr Longfellow was also studying the sport.
Dashawn Longfellow was stabbed by Aldhouse after a brawl at a Phuket bar Aldhouse was arrested at London's Heathrow Airport after fleeing Thailand.
He was held in the UK for almost two years before he became the first Briton to be extradited to Thailand under a century-old treaty.
Laywer Kampon Siriwatunyoo said Aldhouse was considering whether to appeal.
"He prefers to be in a Thai jail rather than serve his sentence in Britain because he said there is a royal pardon once or twice a year here," he added.
Mr Longfellow's mother said her son was in Thailand after serving in Iraq and Afghanistan, where he was injured when a roadside bomb exploded under his vehicle.
