Police Colonel Kissana said: "We also have two British suspects but they have not been detained. We cannot rule them out. They were close friends and knew all about the victims."
Mr Kissana added that police had discovered forensic evidence suggesting Miss Witheridge, from Great Yarmouth, might have been raped.

Pornchai Sutheerakune, head of the Thai Institute of Forensic Medicine, said Mr Miller also had wounds on his hand, indicating a struggle had taken place.
