The family of David Miller said the "correct verdict" has been reached after two Burmese migrants were sentenced to death for the murders of the backpacker and Hannah Witheridge in Thailand. 

Mr Miller's brother Michael, flanked by parents Ian and Sue, said outside court: "We believe the result today represents justice for David and Hannah. 

"David always stood up for justice and justice is what has been delivered today."

At a Thai court in Koh Samui, three judges found bar workers Zaw Lin and Wai Phyo - who were migrants from Myanmar - guilty of murder and ordered that they face the death penalty.

Hannah Witheridge and David Miller were found bludgeoned to death, and a post-mortem examination showed Miss Witheridge had been raped.

The verdicts were delivered at about 03:30 GMT.

Morning everyone. We start today with news from Thailand where two Burmese men have been found guilty and sentenced to death for murdering two UK tourists last year.

Zaw Lin and Wai Phyo killed Hannah Witheridge, 23, from Hemsby, Norfolk, and David Miller, 24, from Jersey, judges said.  

More very shortly.
