Singapore's effort to have a bank robbery suspect extradited from Thailand has hit a snag, as the Office of the Attorney-General has rejected the request, according to a Singapore media report.
"We denied it because we are not in the position to consider it," The Straits Times quoted Amnat Chotchai, director-general of the international affairs department at OAG, as saying. He did not elaborate on the reasons.
It now appears that David James Roach, 27, could be deported from Thailand to his native Canada instead. Singapore does not have a formal extradition treaty with either Canada or Thailand.
