BANGKOK — A Thai newspaper today published an apology for its coverage of the investigation into the murders of two British travelers in September on Koh Tao.

Khaosod newspaper apologized for two headlines suggesting the Warot Toovichian, the son of a village chief on Koh Tao, was responsible for the savage murders of British tourists David Miller and Hannah Witheridge on the island.

The newspaper also accused Warot, 22, of being the son of local “mafia” in two articles published on 24 and 25 Sept.

Numerous news sources on the prime suspects at that time so possibly more suits to follow?

"The newspaper also accused Warot, 22, of being the son of local “mafia” in two articles published on 24 and 25 Sept.

“We have verified facts and discovered that the aforementioned news items were inaccurate,” a statement published in today’s newspaper read.

In the statement published today, Khaosod said it was publicly apologizing as part of a settlement agreement with Warot, who filed a libel suit against the paper over its coverage."

This is also called justice , even if you do not agree with it , when someone are being blamed of being the killer and is actually innocent. If I were Nomsod I would do the same thing , sue the newspaper.

You can believe whatever you want in this case , but Nomsod has never been the main suspect after he agreed to do the DNA tests. And the newspaper wrote the article before the DNA test.
