A man has been charged with the murders of two British medical students found stabbed to death on Borneo island.
The bodies of 22-year-old Newcastle University students Neil Dalton and Aidan Brunger were found on August 6 lying in the road in Kuching, capital of Sarawak state.
The fourth-year students were in the Malaysian part of the island on attachment to a hospital and were due to finish their placements two days after they were killed.
Fisherman Zulkipli Abdullah, 23, could face the death penalty if convicted of their murders.
The students were on a six-week hospital placement in Kuching A total of five Malaysian men were arrested in connection with the two students' deaths, which police said took place after a bar argument.
The four other suspects are not facing charges, but will be witnesses for the prosecution, according to Sarawak deputy police chief Chai Kin Chung.
Three of them saw the killings and the fourth helped dispose of evidence, he said.
Violent crime against foreign visitors is unusual in the Muslim-majority country.
However, there have been some recent incidents.
The body of 34-year-old British tourist Gareth Huntley was found in early June, days after he had gone missing on the resort island of Tioman.
Tour guides on the island claimed Mr Huntley's throat had been slit, but no official cause of death has been released.
A court last month sentenced to death a Malaysian shopkeeper for the killing of French tourist Stephanie Foray in 2011, also on Tioman.
