Thai Beach Murders Fund Beats £10k Target

Written By Unknown on Senin, 23 Maret 2015 | 22.11

The family of a British backpacker killed in Thailand have raised enough money to attend the trial of two men accused of murdering her.

Hannah Witheridge, 23, from Norfolk, and David Miller, 24, from Jersey, were bludgeoned to death on Koh Tao (Turtle Island) in September.

Two Burmese workers, both 21, are due to stand trial for their murders on 8 July.

Miss Witheridge's sister, Laura, set up a fund-raising campaign to help her family pay for flights to Thailand and a court translator.

The Gofundme appeal has now raised £11,446 - more than their initial £10,000 target.

"We are completely stunned by the selflessness and kindness of everyone around us," said Laura.

"The pressure and worry that has been lifted through hitting our goal is enormous ... we can now focus our energy and time on preparing for the very difficult months that lie ahead.

"The past six months have been indescribably horrific ... no matter how long I sat here and tried, I would never be able to expose the hell that our family has endured.

"I've learnt that there are monsters walking among us and that human beings really are the most dangerous creatures on earth.

"But, I've also been shown that there are still good, honest, genuine people in the world ... people with good hearts ... people who care ... people who are selfless and kind."

She said that despite having hit their £10,000 target, the appeal will be left open with surplus money donated back to charity.
