After being swindled out of a fortune, Martin was let down by the hopelessly corrupt Thai police. Forced to rely upon his own resources, he tracked down the man who conned him and, drawn into a fight, accidentally stabbed and killed that man's bodyguard.
Martin was arrested, denied a fair trial, convicted of murder and throw into prison-where he remained for 8 years.
Honest and often disturbing - but told with a surprising humour - Welcome to Hell is the remarkable story of how Martin was denied justice again and again.
In his extraordinary account he describes the swindle, his arrest and vicious torture by police, the unfair trial, and the 8 years of brutality and squalor he was forced to endure.
