Two Burmese men have confessed to killing two British tourists on the Thai island of Koh Tao, police said.
The bodies of Hannah Witheridge, 23, and David Miller, 24, were discovered on a beach on the tiny island on 15 September.
Thai newspaper The Nation reported that a Burmese man admitted carrying out the attack after he was arrested in Surat Thani on the Thai mainland.
Post-mortem examinations revealed that Ms Witheridge, from Great Yarmouth, Norfolk, died from head wounds, while
Mr Miller, from Jersey, was killed by severe blows to the head and drowning.
Major General Kiattipong Khawsamang said that two of three Burmese workers questioned by police admitted murdering the couple.
He said the other man denied involvement.
