Funeral held for soldiers
RAWAI: Friends of Australian Jason Gerrard Flynn and James Plunkett Howe from the UK, whose bodies were discovered at a guesthouse in Rawai on July 28, attended a Buddhist funeral ceremony for both men on Sunday at Wat Sawang Arom temple in Rawai.
The ex-servicemen were in their early 30s. They died unexpectedly overnight after celebrating during their last few days of R&R together before returning to Iraq, where they had been working for a security company.
Friends attending the joint funeral expressed their disappointment at the negative media coverage of the circumstances surrounding the men’s deaths and requested that their families now be allowed to mourn in peace.
