A German language tutor is critical and his friend has a broken arm after they were attacked with a garden hoe in Thailand by three teens. The suspects have confessed they dared each other to copy the recent horrific killings of tourists Hannah Witheridge and David Miller on Koh Tao Island.
After an operation to the injuries on his face and skull, the German man has been given a 50 per cent chance of survival.
'Police have arrested three suspects, two 18-year-olds and one 17-year-old, in connection with the crime.
Pol.Col. Surin Chaichomphu, deputy commander of Udon Thani Police, announced the arrests of the two men, named Thanakorn Khusuwan and Surachet Sripolmuang, at the press conference yesterday. The third suspect, nicknamed Wuth, was not present at the press conference because he is a minor.
'After seeing the German and his friends, the three teenagers reportedly dared each other to imitate the murder of two British backpackers on the southern island of Koh Tao on 15 September, in which the tourists were brutally beaten to death by a garden hoe.'
The victims haven't been named yet.
