3 arrested over Briton’s death

THREE Burmese fishermen have been arrested on suspicion of murdering a British yacht skipper off southern Thailand’s Andaman sea coast.

Thai police said 64-year-old Malcolm Robertson was killed on Monday while sailing with his wife Linda near Koh Dong, an island about 72km west of Satun province.

A spokesman said the men confessed to killing Robertson after he caught them climbing onto his moored yacht in an attempt to steal a raft.
