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.
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.
