Hannah Witheridge death: Police release image of man considered to be "prime suspect"

This man is considered to be a "prime suspect".

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."
