TWO British tourists, have been found dead on a beach in Koh Tao, in the Surat Thani province of Thailand.
The naked bodies of the victims had allegedly been attacked with a hoe, which was found on the beach nearby. According to Colonel Prachum Ruangthong from Thailand’s police force, he said, “the victims clothes and a hoe with blood stains were found nearby.”
Col Prachum went on to say: “The man was chopped in the back and on the side of his head, while the woman was chopped in her face, it's very gruesome.”
The victims so far have not been named but one is a 23-year-old woman from Norfolk and the other is a 24-year-old man from the Channel Islands.
The couple had been staying in a bungalow on the beautiful beach of Sai Ree, 100m from where they were murdered. The island is approximately a four hour ride from the mainland of Thailand and very popular with tourists for its beautiful beaches and stunning turquoise coral.
