PATTAYA (Reuters) – A Thai court on Tuesday (Feb 7) sentenced an Australian man to death for murdering a Hells Angels gang member in 2015, a lawyer at the trial said.<\/p>\n

Australian Antonio Bagnato, 28, and US national Tyler Gerard, 22, were arrested after police found the battered body of Wayne Schneider in a shallow grave.<\/p>\n

Bagnato was sentenced to death by a court in the resort city of Pattaya for detaining, assaulting and then killing the victim, Gerard’s lawyer told Reuters.<\/p>\n

Gerard was jailed for two years as an accomplice to the crime, said the lawyer, Phipat Chantakul.<\/p>\n

Bagnato’s lawyer declined to comment.<\/p>\n

The court in the city, 100 km southeast of the capital Bangkok, found that the killing was premeditated, as the defendants had rented a house and a car used in committing the crime, Phipat said.<\/p>\n

Gerard’s sentence was reduced from an original three years because he had cooperated with the investigation, his lawyer said.<\/p>\n
