Reenactment of two British nationals murders to be done today
By Digital Content

BANGKOK, Oct 3 -- National police chief Pol Gen Somyot Poompanmoung is scheduled to take two Myanmar nationals suspected of murdering two British tourists nearly three weeks ago for a reenactment at the crime scene on Ko Tao, the small island in the Gulf of Thailand and off the coast of the southern province of Surat Thani, on Friday.

More than 200 anti-riot and plainclothes police will be deployed during the reenactment which will be held after a press conference.

Police said a third Myanmar man, believed to be a close friend of those two suspects, will be asked to stand as a witness because he did not join in the rape and murder.

The reenactment of the crime will be held after police said results of DNA tests on semen found on Hannah Victoria Witheridge, 23, matched with the two suspects.

Ms Witheridge and David William Miller, 24, were brutally murdered on a Ko Tao beach early on September 15.

Meanwhile, Deputy Prime Minister/Defence Minister Gen Prawit Wongsuwan told journalists that the suspects were "not scapegoats" and evidence obtained by police showed that they were connected with the murder.

Prime Minister Gen Prayut Chan-o-cha said he had received information from the police that three Myanmar nationals had been arrested by police. (MCOT online news)

BANGKOK, Oct 3 -- Deputy Prime Minister/Defence Minister Gen Prawit Wongsuwan flew to Thailand's insurgency-impacted deep south today to meet with senior army officers in the region, aimed at ending the bloody violence there which resumed more than a decade ago.

Accompanied by newly appointed army chief Gen Udomdej Sitabutr and Anusit Kunakorn, secretary-general of the National Security Council (NSC), Gen Prawit will first attend a meeting with high-ranking army officers at Sirindhorn Army Camp in Pattani's Yarang district.

He is scheduled to present operations policy to the army officers before proceeding to inspect army operations in nearby Yala province.

Gen. Prawit told journalists before his departure that resolving unrest in the southern border provinces is in line with the order given by Prime Minister Gen Prayut Chan-o-cha.

He said army chief Gen Udomdej, as deputy director of the Internal Security Operations Command, is tasked with supervising operations in the deep South.

Touching on the appointment of the Thai government team negotiating with representatives of insurgent groups, aimed at ending the renewed violence centred in the three southern provinces of Pattani, Yala and Narathiwat since January 2004, Gen Prawit said the cabinet, NSC and the Southern Border Provinces Administration Centre must first discuss and decide whether the chief of the team should be a military officer or an NSC official.

Eventually, Prime Minister Gen Prayut will make the final decision, he said, adding that so far such a meeting has not been held. (MCOT online news)
