A murder investigation is under way after a man believed to be from Manchester was shot dead in Thailand.

He was on a motorcycle near the city of Khon Kaen when he was shot and killed.

Friends in Thailand said he was in his late 50s, was a retired railway worker and a keen Manchester United fan.

He had lived in the city in north-eastern Thailand, for several years but had recently moved 30 miles away to a town called Ban Phai.

He was a regular at Number 1 Bar in Khon Kaen, which is a popular drinking spot for British ex-pats.

Foreign Office officials said they are working with the local Thai police and are assisting the dead man’s family.

A spokesman for the Foreign and Commonwealth Office said: “We can confirm the death of a British national in Thailand on August 24.

“We are in contact with the local authorities and are assisting the family.”

One friend said on an internet forum for British ex-pats in Thailand that he was heading home on his motorbike when he was shot and killed.

When they have him laid out on the ground, he looks like he's levitating. I'm sure it's just because of the belly, but that's still how it appears. LOL

Great close up shots. Even got a shot of one of the slugs. Looks like it was a hollow-point from the mushrooming. The poor bastard never had a chance.

This is alleged ”killer wife’ – Wilaiwan Phillips – who has been charged with conspiracy to murder her husband Stephen Phillips - gunned down in remote north east Thailand five weeks ago.

And today exclusive documents show the countdown to his murder. And they reveal that Phillips, 59, described as a man with a heart of gold but extremely naïve, married, wrote a will in favour of his new 29-year-old Thai bride, and was gunned to death all within 15 days.

And his death was only delayed because, they say, Wilaiwan, had to find a deposit of 300,000 (£6000) for the gunman who drove in from another province to carry out the deed.

But it gets worse than that. There are real fears that Wilaiwan is believed also to have plotted to murder Phillips’ 81-year-old mother Ann Kingston, now living in Torquay, Devon.

After Stephen’s death she called Mrs Kingston at her home in Devon asking for money and for her to come to Thailand for her ex-husband’s cremation. Police believe she may not have survived the trip.

In the will Wilaiwan had inherited her husband’s flat in Newtake House, Hele Road, Torquay, but she could not take possession until after Mrs Kingston’s death. He also left her in excess of £220,000 in long term deposit accounts.
