Two Myanmar migrant workers, handed down the death penalty after being found guilty of the Kao Tao murders, will reportedly have to wait in limbo for at least another 12months before a final decision will be made on an appeal submitted by their legal team, according to state media quoting the Migrant Workers Rights Network (MWRN).
The appeal process will reportedly be prolonged because the prosecution has also decided to lodge their own appeal regarding the case.
The two Myanmar migrant workers, Ko Zaw Lin and Ko Wai Phyo, were handed down the death sentence at the Koh Samui Court of Law on 24 December 2015 for the rape and murder of a young British couple on the Thai island of Koh Tao.
