DNA samples taken from the body of a woman from Norfolk who was murdered in Thailand matches that of two suspects already in custody, according to the country's police chief.
Police investigating the murders of Hannah Witheridge and David Miller on the Thai island of Koh Tao have released a CCTV image of a man that they consider to be a "prime suspect."
Miss Witheridge, from Great Yarmouth, and Mr Miller were found with significant head injuries earlier this week.
Officers say that the man looks asian and could be a migrant worker, but added that they are following a number of leads in the case.
"We are focusing on migrant workers because of the surrounding witnesses and evidence, including the video footage.
We are sweeping hotels, bars, businesses and residences of migrant workers on the beach to find the suspect."
British police are to head to Thailand to help investigate the murder of Norfolk student Hannah Witheridge.
The families of the Burmese workers accused of the murder of two British tourists in Thailand last month have said they are innocent.
Thailand's Prime Minister is insisting the men accused of killing Norfolk student Hannah Witheridge will be given a fair trial.
