KOH TAO: -- A Myanmar worker has confessed killing two British tourists on Koh Tao in Surat Thani, acting Deputy Police Commissioner General Pol Gen Jakthip Chaijinda said Thursday.

Following the confession, Police Commissioner General Pol Gen Somyos Pumphanmuang rushed to Koh Tao at 5 pm Thursday to get prepared for holding a press conference Friday.

According to a source from the investigation team, the worker was identified as Win, 21. He worked at a bar on Koh Tao.

The source said Win was taken into custody and detained pending DNT test along with two other Myanmar workers - Maw, 23, and Saw, 21.

Maw and Saw were captured on Koh Tao while Win on the mainland of Surat Thani.

Police are waiting for DNT test results to match those found on cigarette but and other evidences at the scene.

Maw told police that he played guitar on the beach and smoked the cigarette but he returned home and knew nothing about the murder.

But Win later admitted that he saw the two tourists having sex so he made the attack with a plan to rape the woman.

I don't believe the confession.

I don't believe the Brit guy and girl were having sex, or even together.

She was dragged off and attacked, he ran to help, now that story makes sense.

I believe it was a Thai related to the head man who is guilty, else why would they covered up for so long.

If they are the perps, I'm glad they've been caught. But I hope the Myanmar embassy demands confirmation of the DNA match from an independent lab. And if any good can come out of this, I hope the police can set up some policies on not spreading rumors about ongoing investigations.

Why don't they wait for the DNA results first, but rush to make a statement again.

So many times they have been proved wrong in the past.

Why should I believe them now?

No need, the deal has been made, to hell with DNA results, not needed they have confessed.

Considering the skill and honesty of Thai police as well as the investigation procedures they performed in (also) this case these culprits have to be considered innocent scapegoats until real police with real investigation methods and well known for not being corrupt has proven them guilty.

World police make sure that Thai police does not act like criminals

It's an insult to intelligence -

List too long to state here .

The world meanwhile sees this and notes duly .

Jesus wept indeed

What exactly is the world duly noting? An arrest with a confession?
