Charity fear men accused of killing Hannah Witheridge may have been tortured by Thai police
A human rights charity has called for an investigation into allegations of torture by police of two men suspected of killing British tourists in Thailand.
The two Burmese workers, whose names were given only as Saw and Win, have been charged with the murder and rape of Hannah Witheridge from Hemsby near Great Yarmouth, and killing David Miller, from Jersey, on the island of Koh Tao on September 15.
Last week they were paraded by police at press conference, and were made to re-enact how they allegedly killed the backpackers.
Now, Amnesty International said a lawyer, from the Burmese embassy legal team who is acting for the accused, had been told by one of the men that officers had beaten him and "threatened him with electrocution".
The human rights charity has called for an investigation.
Thai police deny the allegations.
