BACKPACKER Vanessa Arscott was executed with three shots at point-blank range after a Thai cop ran her over, a court heard yesterday.

Police Master Sergeant Somchai Wisetsingh shot her after gunning down her boyfriend Adam Lloyd.

Vanessa, 24, fled screaming but he allegedly ploughed into her in his car, dragging her 80 yards, before pulling up and shooting her as she tried to crawl away.

There were bullet wounds to her chest, throat and lip.

Police forensics expert Major Wichit Samatiwat, 57, told the court: “Any of the bullets could have caused her death. Each could have been fatal.

“Burn marks around her chest show the gun must have been held close, almost touching it.â€

The guy was later freed on bail. The mind boggles.

What was the outcome of this story - did the copper ever get any real punishment for this cowardly attack.
I cannot understand why so little is made of this type of thing in the UK media.

EDIT _ Sorry just found another thread with the answer!
