BANGKOK (Reuters) – Thai police on Tuesday discovered the bodies of a British man and his Thai wife buried near a stream on their property in the north of the country, a few days after the couple's disappearance.

Alan Hogg, a 64-year-old retired businessman, and his 61-year-old wife, Nod Suddaen, were reported missing from their home in Phrae Province last week.

Police arrested three Thai men in connection with the death.

"The three men conspired in the murder of the couple and our investigation is under way to determine exactly who did what," Deputy Police spokesman Colonel Kissana Phatanacharoen told Reuters.

A spokesman for the British Embassy in Bangkok said he was in touch with the Thai authorities and "support the family of a deceased British couple in Thailand".
