Glitter not with us say Vietnamese

Vietnam has no record that paedophile pop star Gary Glitter entered the country, the Foreign Ministry said today.

Glitter, who was convicted in Britain in 1999 for possessing child pornography, was expelled from neighbouring Cambodia on December 28 and permanently barred from re-entering that country.

Cambodian officials did not specify his crime, nor have charges been filed.

There had been speculation that he was heading to Ho Chi Minh City - formerly Saigon - in southern Vietnam or Bangkok, the Thai capital.
