The update in the trial of two Burmese men charged with the murder of two foreigners on Koh Tao is that the historically independent Porntip, the leading Forensic Scientist in Thailand, has found that there are DNA samples on the alleged murder weapon, a garden hoe.

Thai police had previously said firstly, that there was DNA from the two accused on the hoe, but then subsequently admitted that they had never tested the hoe for DNA. Porntip not only found DNA on the hoe but found that it belonged to two people, neither of whom was the accused! She, and the defendants' lawyers, have been requesting independent testing of a condom, cigarette butts and the victims' clothing, that prosecutors claim link the accused to the victims, for six months, but the police have refused access.

I wonder why...........
