A second DNA test will be conducted on two Burmese men accused of killing a pair of British tourists in Thailand amid fears the suspects may have been framed, the Thai premier said today. Zaw Lin and Win Zaw Tun were charged with the murder of David Miller, 24, and the rape and murder of Hannah Witheridge, 23. The pair's battered bodies were found on the southern island of Koh Tao on September 15. Thai police claimed a breakthrough in their investigation of the double murder when they said DNA from the accused migrant workers matched samples taken from the body of one of the victims.
