BANGKOK - Thailand’s Supreme Court was set to rule on Thursday in the final appeal of two Myanmar migrant workers sentenced to death for the murder of two British backpackers on a popular Thai holiday island.
The murders on Koh Tao, a laid-back haven for divers, sullied Thailand’s image in the tourism industry, which accounts for about 10 percent of the country’s economy. A pro-bono legal team defending the two men has said evidence collected by police was unreliable and not in accordance with internationally accepted standards, arguing it should not have been used as evidence to convict them.
