Families of Brit backpackers killed in Thailand face fresh agony over demand


The families of two British backpackers bludgeoned to death in Thailand are facing fresh agony after their killers demanded a review of the case, writes Dan Warburton in Bang Kwang prison, Bangkok.



Burmese bar workers Zaw Lin and Win Zaw Tun, both 29, were sentenced to death for killing David Miller, 24, and Hannah Witheridge, 23, in 2014. Now prison letters seen by the Mirror show the pair still maintain their innocence 10 years after the brutal murders on Koh Tao island.

Traveling to some countries is dangerous. Especially in today political climate.

I don't know the whole back story of this couple or why they were attacked. Or maybe there was no reason, other than they were not locals and looked like they might have money. Greed, jealousy, all play a part.

I used to think that backpacking was just fine and a fun way to see different places. I'm not so sure anymore. Maybe a packaged holiday with a tourist guide is the way to go, if you are traveling to far off places?
