Zaw Lin and Wai Phyo, both 21, were arrested a fortnight after Witheridge, 23, from Norfolk, and Miller, 24, from Jersey, were found dead on a beach on Koh Tao, a popular holiday island in Thailand.
Police said the suspects, who worked in bars on the island, had confessed. However, the men soon retracted these admissions, saying they had been obtained through torture.
Rights groups, including Amnesty International, have expressed alarm at the investigation, as has the British government, which sent Metropolitan police detectives to Thailand to review the case.
The process of formally charging the migrant workers had been much delayed, with prosecutors repeatedly sending back the police file on the case for more clarification.
