Suspects deny Thai tourist murders

The two Myanmar workers accused of murdering two British tourists in Thailand arrive at court to deny the charges.

They appeared at a court in Koh Samui to plead not guilty to a range of offences which also include rape and illegal entry.

The pair were arrested after the bodies of David Miller and Hannah Witheridge were found on a beach in September.

The 21-year-old suspects were held after police said their DNA matches samples found on the victims.

Both initially confessed to the killings but then said the admissions were made under duress.
