Two Burmese workers who have confessed to the murders of British backpackers Hannah Witheridge and David Miller have been taken to the scene of the crime.
Mr Miller, 24, from Jersey, died from drowning and a blow to the head, while Miss Witheridge, 23, from Great Yarmouth, died from head wounds on Sairee beach last month.
Their semi-naked bodies were found on the southern island of Koh Tao, near where they were staying, in the early hours of September 15.
A blood-stained garden hoe, which is thought to be the murder weapon, was discovered nearby.
Footage shows the handcuffed suspects, wearing motorcycle helmets and police vests, on the island's Sairee beach, surrounded by police as a reconstruction of the attacks is staged, watched on my hundreds of locals and tourists.
One suspect can be seen walking from the sea to the sandy beach, and wielding a large handled tool to apparently replicate a garden hoe while talking to officers.
