"Thailand to install cameras after tourist murders" Associated Press September 26, 2014
BANGKOK — Thailand will install more surveillance cameras and better lighting in major tourist areas after two British tourists were killed last week on a resort island, a senior government official said Thursday.
More police and soldiers were being sent to help investigate the slayings of Hannah Witheridge, 23, and David Miller, 24, who were found battered to death on a Koh Tao beach last week.
Deputy Prime Minister Prawit Wongsuwan told reporters he has ordered the Interior Ministry, city government, and police to install the surveillance cameras and improve lighting. He said authorities are urgently investigating the case, which critics say has been bungled by police.
‘‘Right now we have limited the investigation to some areas and some individuals. We are not getting lost like they said because we have to work systematically,’’ said Prawit.
