Two Russian women have been found dead on a beach in the Thai resort town of Pattaya. Police say they had been shot repeatedly by an unknown gunman.

A hotel security guard said he heard gunfire early Saturday morning, and saw a Thai man running from the beach before heading off on a motorcycle. The guard then found the two bodies slumped on beach chairs.

It's been confirmed the women were tourists who arrived in Thailand on February the 16th and were due to leave on March the 1st. Police are searching for the suspect, who they believe, was trying to rob the women.
