The final hours of two British backpackers killed on a Thai resort island last year were tracked by more than a dozen security cameras, a court was told during the resumption of the trial of two men from Myanmar accused of their murder.
British tourists Hannah Witheridge, 23, and David Miller, 24, were killed in September, and their bodies were found on a beach on Koh Tao, an island in the Andaman Sea popular with backpackers and divers.
The killings drew outrage in Britain and raised questions about the competence of Thai police and the treatment of migrant laborers in Thailand.
