| Amelia Bambridge: Body of Cambodia backpacker found at sea | |
| (32 minutes later) | |
| The body of missing British backpacker Amelia Bambridge has been found in the sea, police in Cambodia say. | |
| The 21-year-old, from Worthing, West Sussex, was last seen at a beach party on the island of Koh Rong last week. | |
| Her body was recovered 30 miles off the island and will be taken to Sihanoukville on the mainland, according to Cambodian officials. | |
| Ms Bambridge's family will also be taken there from Koh Rong where they have been assisting the search. | |
| Ms Bambridge was reported missing after she failed to check out of her hostel following the party on 23 October. | |
| Staff at Police Beach, a private party venue on the island, found her purple rucksack with her purse, phone and bank cards inside the following morning. | |
| About 150 volunteers including divers, navy personnel and visitors as well as Cambodian police officers took part in land and sea searches for Ms Bambridge. | |
| Six men employed at restaurants, hotels and guesthouses on the island were questioned and released without charge on Tuesday. | |
| Officials said the men were brought into custody because of complaints by Western tourists that they had acted badly towards visiting women. | |
