Witnesses say they saw British tourist gunned down

Two eyewitnesses testified today against a Thai policeman accused of gunning down two young British tourists, and a prosecution lawyer called it a breakthrough in the case.

The evidence from two Thais who live near the site of last year’s killings, came on the second day of the trial of Sergeant Somchai Visetsingha, who is accused of murdering Adam Lloyd, 25, and Vanessa Arscott, 24, both from Devon, in the popular River Kwai tourist town of Kanchanaburi.
