3 Arrested Over Britons Death
Three people have been arrested in connection with the murder of a British bar owner in Thailand, police say.
Remains believed to be those of Toby Charnaud, 41, were found on his ex-wife Panada's property after he disappeared in March.
The ex-wife and two of her relatives were arrested by police pending the identification of the remains.
Mr Charnaud owned a Western-style bar called Rainbow in the beach and golf resort of Hua Hin.
Police searched the ex-wife's property after an investigation revealed that she may have been involved in his disappearance.
"We have found the burned remains and ashes on a plot of land that belongs to his ex-wife and we're detaining her and her relatives for questioning," said police Colonel Amnuay Warayavisut.
No charges have been filed yet, and the remains were being DNA tested, he added.
Mr Charnaud had a five-year-old son with Panada before they separated and he went to live with another Thai woman.
The Foreign Office has been in contact with Mr Charnaud's next of kin in the UK.
He was born in Cornwall and had lived in Thailand for several years, a spokeswoman said.
