A British murder suspect who went on the run after being accused of murdering his Thai girlfriend 11 years ago is believed to be living the high life in Cambodia.

Speculation is rife among the expatriate community that Michael Taylor, an offshore worker from Hull, has relocated to the sunny south coast of the country.

The 51-year-old, dubbed 'Mick the Pom' Taylor, was arrested over the murder of his 27-year-old girlfriend, Jantra Weangta, in the Thai resort of Phuket in August 2004 after allegedly stabbing her through the heart in the bungalow they shared.

His astonishing alibi was that he was having sex with a ladyboy on the beach at the time of the killing.

But Thai police insisted he was the killer, producing a pair of bloody trousers, a large Bowie knife and bringing together 13 witnesses, although details about the evidence against him was still due to be heard.

In the meantime, the Briton was brought back to court in January 2005, but the case was adjourned for an extraordinary 21 months until October 2006 so that witnesses could be interviewed and the evidence could be examined in detail.

Taylor was granted bail – and then he disappeared, later turning up in the Philippines where he operated a bar called Dog's Offshore Bar and Resort.

According to Thailand's Phuket Gazette, Taylor was living openly in the Philippines, using the names 'Mick Doggard' and 'Mick the Dog'.

A poster for his Philippines premises portrayed photos of two dogs and declared that dogs were welcomed but 'wives must be on leash or under control.'

An unknown person opened a Facebook account under his murdered girlfriend's name and wrote: 'My ghost will not rest while those tasked with justice ignore me. Do I deserve to be dead?

'Where are my countrymen? Where are my comrades? Where, oh where is justice for Jantra Weangta?'

The Cambodian ex-patriate website Khmer440, tipped off today that Taylor was living in the southern Sihanoukville area, has tracked Taylor's movements, establishing that he was arrested in the Philippines in March 2014 for overstaying his visa.

He was held pending extradition to Thailand on the murder accusation.

But Thai police appeared to be in no hurry to ask for his extradition and Taylor disappeared from public view.

The Hull Daily Mail reported in April last year that the case had 'provoked uproar in Thailand' with questions being asked of both the British and Thai authorities after Taylor was allowed to slip through the nets.

Now evidence has arisen strongly suggesting that 'Mick the Pom' is in Cambodia.

Khmer440 reported today that what appeared to be a legitimate Facebook account used by Taylor contains two photos of a beach, posted on October 1, 2015, with the caption: 'Another hard day on the beach.'

The photos have been identified by the expatriate website as portraying a bar and bungalows in Sihanoukville called Above Us Only Sky.

An anonymous person also sent the group an email claiming that 'Mad Mick' was staying on Serendipity Beach, near Sihanoukville 'drinking, enjoying life and does not seem to have a care in the world.'

Another ex-pat asked if Sihanoukville was waiting to find out if they were going to be 'knifed through the heart tonight.'
