Koh Tao murder trial date brought forward by 2 months

The hearing of witnesses in the murder case of two British tourists on Surat Thani's Koh Tao has been moved from February 25 to December 26, 2014, after the Myanmar defendants pleaded not guilty to the six charges against them.

The British Embassy will notify the victims' families, while the Koh Samui public prosecutor will testify about the case evidence (witnesses and related documents and items) and forensic evidence at least seven days before the date.

If found guilty, the suspects can appeal to the Appeals Court and then the Supreme Court. This will take years.

The inquest verdict in the UK will certainly happen much sooner than the verdicts in these 2 courts.

Why the sudden rush?

Secure the conviction get them executed before the inquest in the UK and if it has been a stitch up " velly Solly we already kill for them, we tink they kill farang mai pen rai"

As there is always 30 days to appeal, this scenario doesn't fit.

Since the UK inquest report is due during the trial it indicates more confidence in the case and not less.

Nobody forced you to look at the pictures !!

It's alarming that they brought this forward 2 months how on earth are the defence team supposed to prepare a case when they're still not Aware of the prosecutions evidence?

It doesn't need a conspiracy theorist to see what's going on here and fair trial based on evidence and counter evidence isn't on the cards here, why bother with a trail when the result is already known

Guilty and sentenced to death and the sentence carried out within 24-48 hours after the verdict!!

I'll eat humble pie by the truck full if it's not along those lines !!!! ?

Not exactly fair to defence. They can't possibly review the prosecutors files in time to mount any robust defence. It is only 2 weeks away.

Maybe they can since the RTP "evidence" is so skimpy.

And due to the holidays and week ends there will only be 4 days of trial before the 5th Jan..............I am not sure how long Murder trials take in Thailand but I doubt it will be over in 4 days............or will it ????

Actually it says the prosecutor will present witness and evidence 7 days before the start of trial. So that will be the first defense will know what they are fighting. Defense will have 7 days for 1 lawyer to get through 900 pages and prepare.

Thats the thing if found guilty before the inquest .even if the inquest has clear evidence they are innocent,they would stay in prison for many months waiting for appeal.

Remember the mushroom pickers. Everybody knew they were innocent. But oh no could not let them out,must follow protocol and wait for the system to get thier finger out.

As the defense has 30 days after the verdict to file an appeal, you will be eating heaps of humble pie.

You may also wish to look at what discovery both sides are entitled to.
