In Thailand, the police investigation into the deaths of six Vietnamese nationals in a luxury hotel in the capital Bangkok is in full swing. The bodies of the three men and three women – two of whom also had American passports – were discovered in their hotel room on Tuesday evening. According to the police, there were no signs of a struggle in the room.
However, residues of a substance indicating poisoning have been found in cups.
Possibly consumed hydrogen cyanide
Several Thai newspapers speculated that it might have been cyanide. According to reports, the Vietnamese checked into several rooms at the Grand Hyatt Erawan Hotel in the city center over the weekend.
“We follow every step”
The circumstances of her death are still unclear and raise many questions. “This was not self-harm, someone caused her death,” said police spokeswoman Thiti Saengsawang, adding that police were looking for a seventh person linked to the group. “We are following every step they have taken since they got off the plane.”
Thiti said the guests had not checked out of the hotel as scheduled on Tuesday. Hotel staff discovered the bodies when they went to clean the room. According to police, plates of food were found on a table, much of it still wrapped in foil.
Robbery is out of the question
Thai Prime Minister Srettha Thavisin also intervened directly in the mysterious case and gave a press conference. An autopsy is planned to clarify the exact cause of death. However, a robbery has been ruled out. “It is believed that they have been dead for about 24 hours. During the initial inspection of the crime scene, there were no signs of robbery or violence.”
