Tsunami 'victim' safe in prison

A man feared dead in the Asian tsunami disaster has been discovered safe and well in a British prison.

Friends and family of Mark Steven Doogue, 47, thought he was in Phuket in Thailand on a three-month holiday.

 

His sons Michael, 24, and Matthew, 19, from Salford, Greater Manchester, feared for his safety when he failed to get in touch following the disaster.

 

But police said he is in jail after telling colleagues he was going to Thailand for three months.

 

Holiday claim

 

A Greater Manchester Police spokesman said: "He told his boss he was going to Thailand but he is actually in prison."

 

Police, who issued a photograph of Mr Doogue for his sons when they thought he was missing, said on Monday that Mr Doogue was "safe and well".

 

A spokesman said: "Mark Doogue was believed to be on holiday in Thailand when the tsunami occurred and his family were concerned for his wellbeing.

 

"Mark was not in Thailand at the time of the tsunami as was originally thought, and was therefore not affected by it.

 

"Mark is originally from Salford but had not lived in the area for several years. However, his two sons still live in the area."

 

Further details of his detention were not available

LOL - thats gold, BB - GOLD !

 

I now have to convince my work colleagues that my 'overseas holiday' snaps are real, and not fabrications to cover the fact that I spent a total of two months in the lockup.

and the crime was of having nude pictures of underage children.

 

So, rather than tell anyone the truth, he makes up a story and now its plastered all over the world.

 

Sometimes there is natural justice.
