A court in Thailand has sentenced two men to death for murdering another man over his iPhone 7.

Wasin Luengjam, 26, was stabbed to death in January by two men in a Bangkok suburb who had also slit his throat, police reports reveal.

Some cash and a watch remained on the victim’s body.

The iPhone murder was caught on a surveillance camera.

Two men, later identified as Kittikorn Wikaha, 26 and Supachai Jansri, 25, were caught by police in a nearby province while they were on the run.

Both Kittikorn and Supachai admitted their crimes.

Police said that clear evidence helped lead to their confessions.

It is unclear if both men will appeal the decision.

Since their arrests and detention in January, none of their relatives have bailed them out, citing a lack of money.

Thailand last carried out the death penalty in August 2009.
