SURAT THANI 22 September 2014 Police in Koh Tao have announced that they are waiting for the test result of the DNA of a speedboat driver who is believed to have been linked to the murders of two British tourists in Koh Tao.
the man responsible for ferrying tourists from Koh Samui to Koh Tao was detained for interrogation by police yesterday and reports from locals suggested that the 27 year-old man had acted suspiciously by trying to hide inside a cave at Khao Laem Yai after the murders had taken place.
Investigations reveal that the speedboat driver was clearly avoiding the issue when he was interrogated by police, and denied all the charges against him. He was tested positive for drug abuse and as such will be prosecuted on drug-related charges.
Meanwhile, Defense Minister General Prawit Wongsuwan has declared that the Thai police will not enlist the help of the FBI or any other international law enforcement agencies as he believes the case will be solved in a couple of days.
