The suspect, identified by police as Nicholas, was detained on December 26 along a roadside in Kantharalak district of Sri Saket province, according to the Central Investigation Bureau.
Investigators said the man is wanted in Britain for a series of alleged offenses, including unlawful detention and physical assault of his wife.
Police said he allegedly beat her with a BB gun or imitation firearm and a glass, and forced her to swallow more than 100 tablets of various medications before escaping the country.

The UK’s National Crime Agency later tracked the suspect to Thailand, where he had been hiding since 2022, and requested assistance from Thai authorities. The Central Investigation Bureau launched an operation that led to his arrest, police said.
Thai authorities said the suspect is wanted under an arrest warrant issued by the Criminal Court on Dec. 3, 2025, on charges including coercive or controlling behavior against an intimate partner, intentional use of poisonous or dangerous substances, causing bodily harm, assault and property damage.
During questioning, the suspect denied the allegations. Police said he has been handed over to prosecutors as authorities proceed with extradition to the United Kingdom.
