British tourists bludgeoned to death on Thailand beach

THAI police have detained three migrant labourers from the neighbouring country of Mynmar in connection with the brutal murders of British backpackers on the holiday island of Koh Tao in the early hours of Monday morning.

The trio were detained after the country’s Prime Minister ordered a manhunt for the culprit(s).

The pair’s nearly naked bodies were found on a beach on a scenic island in southern Thailand, home to one of the country’s most popular diving destinations.

The victims, a 23-year-old woman from Great Yarmouth, Norfolk, and a 24-year-old man from Jersey, Channel Islands have been identified as Hannah Witheridge and David Miller.
