A STAR Wars fan was yesterday jailed for life after murdering his wife in an alleged revenge attack for smashing up his cherished toy collection. Advertisement >>
Rickie La-Touche, 30, told a court that his Thai wife Pornpilai Srisroy, 28, had damaged his precious Darth Vader and Luke Skywalker memorabilia.
He later suffocated her during a row and then ran sobbing to his mother who lived nearby.
La-Touche later told police his wife had smashed up his Star Wars collection as part of a campaign to “make his life hell”. He also claimed he “flipped” when she threatened to leave him to go back to Thailand.
La-Touche, also known as Rickie Nehls, was found guilty of murder and was ordered to serve a minimum of 12 years.
The court heard that he met his wife in a bar while on holiday in Bangkok in 2001. He became besotted and they married on his fourth visit to Thailand in 2003.
In April the couple had a violent row one morning and he later arrived at his mother’s house in an agitated state.
When his mother asked him what was wrong, he replied he had “killed her”.
La-Touche told Preston Crown Court his wife had damaged most of his collection of Star Wars memorabilia, which he had built up since he was a child and was worth thousands of pounds.
He had also told detectives he was worried she was about to leave him. La-Touche, from Leigh, Greater Manchester, said in a police interview: “My wife is from Thailand and she keeps threatening to leave. We argued and she said she was going to make my life hell.

What about the people who make the movies,star in them, promote them,sell the “action figure colectibles”,etc.
Well, he lost his Princess Lay_. Ouch that is a bad one.
Collectivism’s goal is to reduce mankind into a state of infantilism dependent on the state. Another way to look at it is taking man down to the state of a dependent, domesticated, farm animal.
OK...?
Did you neglect to notice this was about a UK murder, and not something one can blame the USA DOE for?
Just saying...
LOL—figured this would happen....Yes....I did notice....but their school system was co-opted before ours—they were closer to the German Postmodernists. The elites that infiltrated our universities came from Europe. They wrote all the (marxist) curricula for our schools.
Europe’s educational systems were easier to get total control over....ours wasn’t centralized until Jimmy the Commie created DOE. Our education has plummeted since then—and the promotion of “sex ed” has created a sexual youth culture rife with abortions, promiscuity, and STD’s . Sexual activity since then has risen by 700% and ignorance and stupidity is rampant. i Stupid, immoral populous is easy to manipulate and use for revolutions and thug behavior as we are witnessing. To change, we have to get education away from government.
The culture in UK is just a little bit ahead of ours. We are headed there direction—Mark Steyn has described this.......in a few years, if we do not change direction and destroy DOE. We have to end the Marxist indoctrination.
(go down to the Dewey section and the communist Dr. Rugg who wrote hundreds of textbooks) My point is ===these immature idiots are created on purpose—it is all Marxism...they want “useful idiots”.

Exactly....and they want total egalitarianism (except for the elite rulers). That means to destroy the concept of male and female, family, biology, etc.
The idea—I am a girl in a boy’s body- and homosexual marriage-are examples of their stupid, nonsense that they promote to children on purpose (cognitive dissonance which destroys logical thinking)—those perversions destroy logic, science and knowledge and the belief in God and the Bible.
She should have left them alone; unless he was a Star Wars hoarder. I’m not allowed to touch ANY of my dh’s possessions. Our place looks a mess, but I leave the stuff alone. A man needs his space.
