British man charged with rape extradited to Cambodia

The Criminal Court on Friday issued an order allowing the extradition of a British man to Cambodia to face trial on rape charges.

The case was filed with the court by prosecutors of the International Affairs Department in response to a request filed by Cambodia through the Foreign Affairs Ministry and the Royal Thai Police Office.

The court found that David John Fletcher, 65, was arrested and charged with rape in Cambodia before fleeing to Thailand where he was arrested for immigration offences in August last year.
