Koh Tao has been dubbed ‘death island’ following a string of high-profile mystery deaths of dozens of tourists. The idyllic island is popular with scuba diving but it also well known for its influential and powerful local families, police corruption and mafia connections.

In 2014, British backpackers Hannah Witheridge and David Miller were bludgeoned to death on the beach after drinking at a nearby bar.

Their deaths were allegedly later covered up by police and officials to protect the island’s tourism industry, with officers allegedly framing two Burmese workers while the alleged real walked free.
