Bangkok, Rabi'I 04, 1436, December 26, 2014, SPA -- The trial of two Myanmar migrant workers accused of killing two British tourists on a popular resort island in southern Thailand has begun, in a case seen as a test of Thailand's justice system, AP reported. The bodies of 24-year-old David Miller and 23-year-old Hannah Witheridge were found Sept. 15 on a beach on the island of Koh Tao. Autopsies showed both had suffered severe head wounds and that Witheridge had been raped. The trial began Friday on the nearby island of Koh Samui, with prosecutors and defense lawyers submitting their plans for evidence and witnesses in the case against Win Zaw Htun and Zaw Lin, both 21. The men say they're innocent of rape and murder charges, and that police tortured them to force confessions from them that they later recanted. -- SPA 15:13 LOCAL TIME 12:13 GMT www.spa.gov.sa/w
