Quote:
A retired rail worker was gunned down by hitmen after his young Thai wife used his money to pay professionals to carry out the kill, say police.

Stephen Phillips, 59, from Torquay, Devon, was shot dead last month as he rode his Honda motorbike near his home in the remote village of Baan Phai, about 250 miles north-east of Bangkok.

Mr Phillips' 29-year-old wife Wilaiwan, and two Thai men, one believed to be her Thai-Chinese lover, have been charged by police with conspiracy to murder.


Quote:
According to Andrew Drummond, friends who lived near Mr Phillips in Thailand said he was nicknamed 'the Wounded Buffalo' because of his 'gullible and naive' nature.


Quote:
'He had �12,000 in one bank account which he reported recently had been reduced to �300 by his wife.

'He was a quiet unassuming person. Apart from his marriage he loved the life in Thailand.'

Mr Phillips moved to the South-East Asian country after taking early retirement and got married two and a half years ago in a Buddhist ceremony.
