A Burmese man has admitted killing two British tourists in Thailand, according to local reports.
Hannah Witheridge, 23, and David Miller, 24, were found dead on the island of Koh Tao on 15 September.
Thai newspaper The Nation reported the man from Burma, also known as Myanmar, admitted carrying out the attack after he was arrested on the Thai mainland.
Police had offered a reward of around £13,000 for information leading to arrests of the culprits.
A garden hoe found near the scene of the killings was previously identified as the possible murder weapon.
More than 100 officers are involved in the investigation and have been collecting evidence and taking DNA samples from those working on Koh Tao.
A post-mortem examination found that Mr Miller, from Jersey, was killed by severe blows to the head and drowning.
An inquest opened in Norwich earlier this week heard Ms Witheridge, from Great Yarmouth, Norfolk, died on the beach from "severe head injuries".
The brief hearing was told the student from the University of Essex had been identified using DNA samples taken from her parents and Thai authorities had requested the pathologist's report.
A full inquest will take place on 6 January.
Mr Miller's funeral is due to take place this Friday. In advance of the service, his family asked for privacy on the day of the memorial service.
A statement, from Ian, Sue and Michael Miller, said: "We have been overwhelmed by the breadth and depth of support provided to us by so many here in Jersey and also by people far away.
"We were also particularly touched by the vigil and prayers held by good people on Koh Tao."
