Two Thais charged over Aussie’s death

Thai authorities have reportedly charged two men accused of killing an Australian travel agent Michelle Smith in Phuket in June.

Ms Smith, 60, of Perth, was fatally stabbed on June 20 when two men on a motorbike tried to snatch her handbag.

The ABC says Surasak Suwannachote has confessed to the stabbing and Surin Tadthong has confessed to riding the motorbike during the crime.

They have been charged with cooperating to kill a person for personal benefit, taking property with a weapon, causing death and injury, and carrying a weapon in a public place.

They could face the death penalty, but the suspects’ cooperation and admissions make a life sentence more likely if they are found guilty, the ABC says.
