Moment Thai cops arrest Brit husband of ‘Lady of the Hills’ victim 21 years after her body found in UK beauty spot
THE Sun tracked down university lecturer David Armitage to his remote Thai home to ask if he had any part in his wife’s suspicious death – and he dodged the question.So I went for the blunter approach: “Let me put it another way, David. Did you kill Lamduan?”said: “Absolutely not. No, absolutely not. I know the inferences are there but I am just getting on with my life here.
“He had the choice of appealing the decision to revoke his visa within 48 hours but he did not take it.” Police were unable to identify her and she was dubbed the Lady of the Hills by locals, who arranged for her funeral in the nearby village of Horton-in-Ribblesdale. When Armitage answered the door at his whitewashed bungalow next to a banana plantation, he said there had been a whispering campaign against him in the Thai media, but insisted he was innocent.
Masking what must have been a huge irritation after officers flew 6,000 miles for the interview, cold-case manager Adam Harland said it was “unfortunate” that the meeting had not gone ahead.
