An American fugitive and his Thai girlfriend who staged a violent escape from a Thai courtroom two days ago were captured today with gunshot wounds to the head after trying to kill themselves in a stand-off.
Bart Allen Helmus, 39, and Sirinapha Wisetrit, 41, were surrounded by police near the Cambodian border today and taken to hospital in a police truck.
Helmus was found unresponsive but alive with a head wound from a handgun, while Wisetrit was also injured but conscious.
The couple, who were already facing a possible death sentence for drug trafficking, will now face further charges after the gunfight in which they escaped on Monday
A third prisoner who escaped with them, Noi Ton Nintet, 41, was captured in a nearby field in his underpants.
Police lieutenant colonel Hiran Burana confirmed the suspects had been captured, and said a getaway car they used had also been recovered.
