Brit killed and barbecued

[MSGT]

A former public schoolboy was barbecued by his Thai wife after divorcing her when she ran up massive gambling debts, a court heard.
Toby Charnaud, 41, was clubbed to death with an iron bar and wooden staves by relatives of his ex-wife, Pannada Laoruang.
She then helped them burn his body on a charcoal fire, before chopping it up and scattering the charred remains around Kaeng Krajan National Park on the Thai-Burma border.

Serves him right for buying a Thai wife. Never comes to any good. But seriously, barbecuing him? WTF?

Doesn't anyone else think that's a strange way to phrase his description?

I think they are trying to paint humble beginings {public school}

That's an awful stretch, don't you think? 41 is rather old to be referring to one's primary education days, I would think.

Not for the British. They feel rather strongly about those things.


The term public school has different (and in some cases contradictory) meanings due to regional differences......
In England (http://en.wikipedia.org/wiki/England) and Wales (http://en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Wales), "public school" refers exclusively to fee-charging independent secondary schools and traditionally referred to a select group of very old and exclusively English Independent schools

Old Etonians and all that

Maybe they're referring to him like the Marine in FULL METAL JACKET--"Good morning, little schoolgirl. I'm a little schoolboy, too."
