53-year-old paraglider had first visited in Mongolia ten years ago with friend Gareth aiming to do flying expedition. However, he had went back to his country due to weather conditions. Thus, he had returned this year to fulfill his goal.
He had aimed to hike and fly through the mountains from Zavkhan to Arkhangai, a distance of about 400km.
Unfortunately, his friend Gareth had experienced several heavy landings, which meant his back had been strained and he was unable to continue the expedition. Thus, Steve had decided to continue on his own and had been robbed and killed by assailants. They stolen his wallet and passport and left his paraglider - packed in his backpack.
