A man who fled to Thailand before facing trial for domestic violence offences against his then girlfriend has been jailed for nearly a decade. Cash absconded rather than stand trial, leading to a global manhunt before his eventual capture and return to the United Kingdom.

He was convicted of beating and poisoning his former partner. Both outlets report the nearly ten-year sentence, though only the Dorset Echo names him as Nicholas Cash. The Dorset Echo also notes this was described as a global manhunt to track down the fugitive.
