Convicted murderers who killed Brit couple in Thailand AVOID death penalty as sentences ‘quietly overturned’
THE devastated daughter of the British couple murdered in Thailand said their killer will no longer face the death penalty.
Millionaire businessman Alan Hogg, 64, and his wife Nhot Suddaen, 61 were brutally murdered at their mansion in northern Thailand.
The couple were killed by Nhot's brother, Warut Rattanasajjakit, 64, who had fallen out with the couple over money.
Alan was killed by a shotgun near his swimming pool on their 32-acres of land, while Nhot was bludgeoned to death with a car wrench in the garage.
Their bodies were discovered after they were buried in the garden of the Phrae property.
Robyn Hogg, 33, expressed her anger over the decision to overturn the killers' death sentences.
Robyn, a businesswoman from Glasgow, told the Daily Record: "It’s difficult. We’re not happy about it."
She claimed the family are getting mixed messages from Thai courts.
"We don’t know if it’s one sentence or all the sentences.
"I’m told we have time to appeal.”
It’s difficult. We’re not happy about it.

Robyn's uncle paid 50,000 baht (£1,200) for two hitmen Kittipong Kamwan, 25, and Phia Kamsai, 64, to help him kill the couple in 2018.
Rattanasajjakit was said to be jealous of the couple's luxurious lifestyle and their huge property - while he lived in a wooden hut next door.
Alan's body was found dumped in a 6-ft deep hole behind a duck pond.
When the couple went missing, cops sent sniffer dogs to the property to search the land.
Police said Warut was "angry and resentful" at being told off by Alan for constantly asking to borrow money.
Warut and the hitmen were found guilty of premeditated murder and sentenced to death by lethal injection.

Sima Uppamun, 60, who acted as an ‘agent’ to help Warut with the plan, was jailed for 25 years.
A Foreign, Commonwealth & Development Office spokesman said: “We continue to support the family of a British couple who died in Thailand in 2018 and our staff are in contact with the local authorities.”
