Mystery man baffles authorities

A mystery man arrested for breaking into the same house three times in Wales is baffling the authorities.

Police and immigration officials have no idea of the man's name, age, nationality - or what language he speaks.

Magistrates at Llanelli were told he had broken into the same house, near Ammanford, three times, washed himself, cooked food, and stole a sewing kit.

The man, who appeared to be in his 30s with dark receding hair and olive skin, was remanded in custody as no plea could be taken.

Laura Carthew, prosecuting, said: "A map of the world has been offered to the defendant with no response."

She also said they presented him with flags from all the countries in the world, but this met with a similar response.

He has briefly spoken once in a language thought to be Amharic, but when a translator was called they said they did not understand him and had no clue to the dialect he was speaking.

The man's solicitor Mike Reed said in his 30 years' experience he had never come across a similar situation.

He said that in a previous hearing, the court heard how writing in a book apparently discarded by the man had been identified as belonging to a "small tribe at the bottom of the Atlas mountains" in Morocco.

I imagine this is going to turn into a sitcom.

maybe he's a time traveller from the future who is just trying to get by in our backwards and chaotic present.
