Thai police continue hunting for murderers of British tourists

BANGKOK, September 19 (TNA) - Thai police have continued hunting for murderers of two British tourists on Koh Tao, a resort island in the Gulf of Thailand off southern Surat Thani Province, after DNA tests on the female victim did not match with all suspects earlier interrogated by police. Police General Jaramporn Suramanee, an adviser to the Royal Thai Police, led police on Thursday night in an attempt to find new clues which could shed light to last Monday's brutal murder. Police General Jaramporn and his police team walked in the opposite direction of the crime scene and during low tides, saying that several pieces of evidence were found. Another group of police investigators, in the meantime, searched for more suspicious places and persons in an attempt to gather more evidence, especially on finding an Asian man whose picture appeared on a close-circuit television (CCTV) almost the same time the murder took place. Meanwhile, Thai police have allowed Christopher Alan Ware, believed to be a friend of the male victim and earlier suspected to involve in the incident, to return to Britain. The bodies of the two slain British vicitms, 23-year-old Hannah Victoria Witheridge and 24-year-old David William Miller, were found on a beach on Koh Tao on September 15. (TNA)
