Two Burmese men accused of killing British
tourists on the Thai island of Koh Tao have retracted their confessions,
their lawyers say.
The pair now say they did not commit the murders and did not see what happened, according to their lawyers.
The bodies of David Miller, 24, and Hannah Witheridge, 23, were discovered on a beach in September.
The UK has expressed concern about the investigation - but Thai police say they have a "perfect" case.
Thailand's National Human Rights Commission said on Monday that it had found evidence that the two suspects, Zaw Lin and Win Zaw Htun, were physically abused by the police.
Both are migrant workers from Myanmar, also known as Burma, and were named as suspects soon after the bodies of the two tourists were found.
