Two Burmese migrant workers sentenced to death for the murder of two British backpackers on Koh Tao in 2014 submitted an appeal against their conviction to the Samui provincial court on Monday.
Lawyers from the Law Council of Thailand submitted the appeal together with a 200-page argument against the conviction and sentencing of Zaw Lin and Wai Phyo. They were accompanied by the two defendants’ mothers and a diplomat from the Burmese embassy in Thailand.
The two migrant workers were guilty by the court of first instance for the rape and murder of Hannah Witheridge and the murder of David Miller on Koh Tao in 2014.
