Koh Tao Murder Convicts Launch Appeal
May 23, 2016, 11:17 AM
Two Burmese migrant workers sentenced to death for the murder of two British holiday-makers in Thailand were convicted on deeply flawed DNA evidence, lawyers for the two men allege in an appeal submitted Monday.
A team from the Lawyers Council of Thailand is working pro-bono for the mothers of alleged killers Zaw Lin and Wai Phyo to appeal the Dec. 24 conviction, which came after a heavily-criticized investigation by Thai authorities.
