Thailand will install more surveill

Thailand will install more surveillance cameras and better lighting in major tourist areas after two British tourists were killed last week on the popular island oh Koh Tao, a senior government official said yesterday.
More police and soldiers were being sent to help investigate the brutal murders of Hannah Witheridge, 23, and David Miller, 24, who were found battered to death last week.
Deputy Prime Minister Gen. Prawit Wongsuwan told reporters he has ordered the Interior Ministry, Bangkok’s city government and police to install the surveillance cameras and improve lighting in the area.
He said detectives were urgently investigating the case, which critics have said has been bungled by police after several false leads were trumpeted as major breakthroughs.
“The area where the incident happened was very dark,” Gen Prawit said. “The closed-circuit cameras could not capture images. I have ordered [authorities] nationwide that there must be sufficient lighting, especially in Bangkok and major tourist cities.
