A retired British couple who said they were told they may go to prison in Thailand after their neighbours attacked them are “elated” to have been fined instead.
Despite being victims of the attack which was recorded on CCTV, Mary and Desmond Byrne were themselves found guilty of causing "superficial injuries and mental anguish" and fined £200 each, the BBC reports. The Byrnes are due to return to the UK after the 15-month ordeal and are waiting anxiously until they can safely get their flight home.
