Two British brothers are being questioned over the murders of two backpackers on a beach in Thailand as tests revealed more about how the victims died.
Chris Ware and his brother James, from Jersey, have been asked to stay in Thailand as experts wait for the results of DNA tests on Thursday.
The brothers were questioned as police continued to hold six Burmese suspects in connection with the deaths.
Thai Police Colonel Kissana said there was "strong evidence" possibly linking the Burmese to the murders, including blood stains on clothes.
Chris Ware being interviewed by Thai police "We also have two British suspects but they have not been detained," said Mr Kissana.
"We cannot rule them out. They were close friends and knew all about the victims."
The developments came as forensic experts revealed David Miller died from drowning and a blow to the head. Hannah Witheridge died from head wounds.
Police investigate the killings on the beach 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.
Sky's Jonathan Samuels, on Koh Tao, where the murders happened, said Chris Ware has been spoken to by police after he booked into a hotel at Bangkok airport.
It is the second time he has been questioned. He was initially quizzed in the hours after the murders by officers concerned about an injury to his arm.
Koh Tao is one of Thailand's most popular backpacker islands Police were satisfied with Mr Ware's explanation and he was told he was free to go, but officers later caught up with him in Bangkok to speak to him again.
Samuels said James Ware had also spoken to police.
The semi-naked bodies of Mr Miller, 24, and 23-year-old Miss Witheridge were discovered on a beach early on Monday.
Police say there had been a beach party in the hours before the murders Police said the pair sustained horrific injuries, with both suffering deep wounds to the head and face.
A bloodstained garden hoe, believed to be the murder weapon, was found near to the bodies.
Samuels said it was understood Chris Ware was a friend of Mr Miller's.
Police say they are keen to trace an Asian man captured on grainy CCTV footage shortly after the murders.
The man of Asian appearance caught on CCTV It shows what appears to be a topless man who officers say was acting suspiciously as he left a beach party near the murder scene.
He is captured running past the security camera at 3.44am and is seen again an hour later walking down the same street.
In another image, Mr Miller, from Jersey, and Ms Witheridge, from Great Yarmouth, are seen walking hand-in-hand after leaving a bar at around 1am.
It was taken hours before their bodies were discovered semi-naked on Sairee beach.
Tributes to Hannah have been posted online Sky's Tom Parmenter, on Jersey, says police there are assisting the mother of Chris and James Ware.
He said officers are working to ensure Barbara Ware is kept up to date with investigation, but she did not want to comment at this stage.
Parmenter said someone claiming to be a friend of the Ware brothers had written about them on a Thai travel message board.
Police outside the Ware family home on Jersey "I grew up with Chris and Dave and know them both very well, and I'm totally shocked to what has happened," the post read.
"He (Chris) has known Dave since 4 years old at primary school in Jersey, they are like brothers."
