Thai police on September 16, 2014 ruled out three Myanmar workers in connection with the murder of two young British tourists, as Thailand's military ruler appeared to call into question the "behaviour" of the victims themselves. The bodies of David Miller, 24, and Hannah Witheridge, 23, arrived in Bangkok late September 16, 2014 for forensic examination. They were found naked and beaten to death early September 15, 2014 near a beachside bungalow on the island, a diving hot-spot near Koh Phangan in the Gulf of Thailand.
