(16 Sep 2014) The bodies of two British tourists found dead on Monday in Koh Tao island, southern Thailand, arrived at the forensic laboratory of a police hospital in Bangkok on Tuesday.
Thai police surgeons will carry out a post mortem examination and forensic tests in hopes of finding clues to what caused the deaths.
The bodies - wrapped in plastic bags - were driven up from southern Thailand and reached Bangkok on Tuesday evening.
The bodies of Hannah Witheridge, 23, and David Miller, 24, were discovered on Monday morning in a rocky alcove along the shore close to the hotel where they were staying in Koh Tao island.
Both had deep wounds and gashes to the head and face that police believe were inflicted by a bloodied hoe found near the bodies.
The pair travelled to Koh Tao with friends and met each other on the island while staying in neighbouring rooms at Ocean View Bungalows, police said.
Police have released still images from surveillance cameras in the area.
One showed what police said were the two victims walking together hand-in-hand.
Another image from later in the morning showed a single man walking in the same direction.
Police said the man looked Asian and was considered a prime suspect, but investigators were pursuing several leads.
Police on the scenic resort island conducted a sweep of hotels and workers' residences on Tuesday searching for clues into the slayings of the two British tourists.
