Teenagers convicted of killing prostitutes

Two teenage farm hands were convicted today of murdering two Thai-born prostitutes by throwing them bound and weighted into a crocodile-infested river in northern Australia.

The bodies of Phuangsri Kroksamrang, 58, and Somjai Insamnan, 27, were found floating in the Adelaide River, south of Darwin, in March last year by the crew of a crocodile-spotting tourist boat a few days after their deaths.
