Dear All,
My name is Aaron Quill, Kevin’s eldest son.
I would like to say thank you (to most of you at least!) for your support over the past 8 years (and now), what happened in the court was an absolute shock to myself, my family and all who know my dad. At a time like this, it is inevitable that the rumour mill will go into overdrive and the “no smoke with out fire” merchants will come crawling out of the woodwork. all I can say to this, is that it is one hel_l of a lot easier to slag off a man who cannot defend himself.
I must also stress, that 6 years in a thai jail would be a terrible punishment for any man-whether he is guilty or innocent, as you will all know thai jails are not like prisons in the uk. However, 6 years in a thai jail to an (innocent) man, who now has a hole in his throat following throat cancer, is in fact, a death sentence.
I understand that some of you know my Dad, and his stance against drugs, which he despises. I visited a bar in Pattaya yesterday, and was overwhelmed by the number of well wishers that all know that my Dad was framed (by 2 very high profile and wealthy FARANGS) that offered their support. I understand that I cannot name the 2 men responsible, but all I can say is that they have a very chequered past, both here and in the UK-Should you wish to find out more, a british journalist working in thailand has reported on their “dodgy dealing” on a number of occasions. His name is Andrew Drummond, and if you google his name, you will get a better insight into the minds of these twisted, evil crooks, as you will be able to read some of his work. It reads like a Hollywood movie-you have murder, corruption and greed.
Anyway, I have not come here to slate my dad’s ex-business partners. Some of you will not know the full story, and I can appreciate that many of you will read this and say to yourself ” this is coming from his son, surely it’s going to be biased”. All I ask is that you look at the facts before you judge, and nail an innocent man to the cross.
For example;
My dad has been back to the UK numerous times since his arrest-And returned to Thailand EVERY TIME. Why did he not stay in the UK?Surely these are not the actions of a guilty man? With his connections and wealth, it would be easy to start afresh.
I have been advised by the british embassy not to be drawn into online arguments, in case I am misinterpreted as criticising the Supreme Court, and therefore the King (hence my careful wording).
One of you has clearly not read the facts properly, and got it into your head that my Dad is scottish, and blackmailed a scottish judge-His ex business partners are from Edinburgh and Falkirk respectively! For the record, my Dad was born in Halifax, West Yorkshire, and later moved to Bradford where he made his name as a successful businessman.
I would also like to say thank you to the man who has stated that although he doesn’t like/think he’d like my Dad, he doesn’t believe that he would have commited the crime he was accused of. It is opinions like this, which are unbiased, and shows that even people who dislike my dad are shocked at what has happened.
For those of you that are shocked at the verdict and wish to help, i would appreciate it if you could contact me on my personal email which is aquill789@yahoo.co.uk
Yours faithfully,
Aaron Quill
