A murder inquiry is under way on the Thai island of Koh Tao after two British tourists were found dead on a beach at the popular resort.
They were described by police as a 23-year-old woman from Great Yarmouth, Norfolk, and a 24-year-old man from Jersey, in the Channel Islands.
The naked bodies of the couple were found stripped with several wounds to their bodies close to a beachside bungalow on the island, a diving hot-spot near Koh Phangan in the Gulf of Thailand.
The pair had arrived in Thailand on 25 August.
A blood-stained hoe was found near the bodies and was thought to be the murder weapon.
Police are searching for witnesses and are yet to identify a suspect or motive, local police official Jakkrapan Kaewkhao said.
Koh Tao is popular with tourists but draws fewer travellers than the neighbouring Koh Phangnan, home to the "full moon" party.
Thailand's lucrative tourism industry has been battered in recent months after a prolonged political crisis ended a coup that saw the army blanket the country with a curfew and strict martial law.
Although the curfew was swiftly lifted from key tourist hot-spots, visitor numbers are yet to rebound.
Thailand's military leaders have vowed to clean up the kingdom's tourist resorts after complaints of scams, assaults and even police extortion.
