Thai suspects re-enact tourist murder
- 12 years ago
Two murder suspects are forced to relive their alleged crime.
Thai police believe Surasak Suwanchot and Surin Tatthong killed Australian Michelle Smith in a robbery last week outside her hotel.
Suwanchot reportedly confessed he accidentally cut the 60-year-old travel agent when he tried to slash her purse strap.
A crowd gathers to watch the re-enactment as officials wheel the two men through the streets of Phuket.
Police claim both suspects fled the island and were arrested in two separate locations Monday.
