Thai Murders: DNA 'Does Not Match' Defendants

KOH SAMUI: -- The trial of the men accused of killing two British backpackers hears DNA on the murder weapon does not match the defendants.


A forensics team says DNA found on the murder weapon used in the killing of two British backpackers in Thailand does not match that of the two defendants.

The bodies of Hannah Witheridge and David Miller were found on a beach on the holiday island of Koh Tao last September.

Prosecutors say Miss Witheridge, 23, from Norfolk, had been raped and beaten. Mr Miller, 24, from Jersey, drowned in the sea after suffering head injuries.

Burmese bar workers Zaw Lin and Wei Phyo, both 22, have pleaded not guilty.
