Carla Bartel from Virden, Canada gives her account of the night two apparently Thai men launched an attack on Sam Venning and her at the same spot where the bodies of Hannah Witheridge & David Miller were found. It is also the same spot where two British women were mugged by 4 Thai men the night before Hannah & David were murdered.
Sam Venning's 25 minute interview about the attack which occurred on or about 29 July 2013 appears on another YouTube video:

“It just saddens me that there’s two innocent men behind bars paying the ultimate price for something they haven’t done. This has really bothered me and this is ultimately why I think it’s important to keep sharing my story.”

Please note that on the thumbnail to this video, one can see the spot where Sam and Carla were sitting as it is next to the flowers left by tourists following the murders of Hannah and David. It overlooks the location where the bodies were discovered just metres away.
Carla explains that, two days after the double murder, she forwarded information to the British FCO whose staff indicated that it would be forwarded to the Royal Thai Police. Similarly, Sam Venning explained how he contacted the Thai Consulate/Embassy in London just after the double murder but never heard back from them.
It has always been obvious that the Thai authorities never wished to pursue any evidence that would implicate Thai nationals in the double murder on Koh Tao. The Royal Thai Police focused on fabricating evidence with which to convict to powerless Burmese scapegoats, Zaw Lin and Wai Phyo. This included engaging in scientific fraud to create obviously false DNA evidence.
