Briton held over Thai murder
The Foreign and Commonwealth Office
The Foreign Office say Mr Storey has not been charged
A diving instructor from Devon is being held in jail in Thailand after the death of his girlfriend.

Mark Storey, 48, left Torquay to start a new life in Thailand two years ago.

He is being held in connection with the strangling and stabbing of his girlfriend, 30-year-old Rattanaporn Pimkot, at the flat they had shared for three months in Phuket.

Mr Storey appeared in court on Friday after being arrested at Phuket Island's International Airport but the Foreign Office said on Saturday that he still had not been charged.
