THE families of two British backpackers bludgeoned to death in Thailand are facing fresh agony after their killers demanded a review of the case.
Burmese bar workers Zaw Lin and Win Zaw Tun, both 29, were sentenced to death for killing David Miller, 24, and Hannah Witheridge, 23, in 2014.
Now prison letters seen by the Mirror show the pair still maintain their innocence 10 years after the brutal murders on Koh Tao island.
In one letter to his legal team, Zaw Lin wrote: "I have been in prison [for] almost 10 years for nothing, it's unbelievable...
"Could you please retrial again my case? I've never seen the people who died on the beach at Koh Tao." The killers have always said that they were fitted up, and they accused Thai detectives of carrying out a "botched" probe.
The Mirror can reveal they have been visited by a delegation of solicitors in prison, including a British justice campaigner.
The news will heap fresh agony on Hannah and David's families, who have suffered a decade of misery over the murders.
ACTIVISTS
David's family have previously criticised online activists supporting the killers.
But in prison letters sent from Thailand's notorious Bang Kwang jail - known as the Bangkok Hilton - Zaw Lin said: "I want to get out as I am innocent."
In another letter, he added: "I will be 29 this month. It's so sad to know that I am wasting my young life away for nothing. I think I will get out of prison in a few more years... as I have already been in prison a long time.
