The latest news about the death of 6 Vietnamese people in Thailand from Khaosod on the morning of July 17 said that 1 of the 6 people had poisoned the remaining 5 people in a luxury hotel room in Bangkok.
Thai police revealed that the deaths of 6 Vietnamese people were related to debt issues.
In addition, Thai police have identified the identity of the seventh person in the incident, who is believed to have booked a hotel room.
On the night of July 16, Thai police questioned 5 people related to the case of 6 Vietnamese bodies, 2 of whom were questioned with US passports, staying at a luxury hotel near Ratchaprasong intersection, Bangkok. A friend of the sister of one of the deceased victims was also questioned.
Earlier, on the afternoon of July 16, Thailand confirmed that at least six people had died at a 5-star hotel in the Ratchaprasong area of Bangkok, including four Vietnamese and two Vietnamese-American.
Of the 6 people who died, 4 were in the living area and 2 were in the bedroom (3 men and 3 women). The group did not book a hotel room together. A group arrived on July 13, receiving 4 rooms on the 7th floor. Another group arrived on July 14, in a room on the 5th floor.
In total, 5 rooms were reserved for 7 people, 5 people took the room but 6 bodies were found. Thai immigration police also confirmed the data of the five individuals.
The 4 rooms on the 7th floor are expected to be returned to the room at noon on July 15. Their luggage was moved to a room on the 5th floor. The hotel said there was no payment for the room rental.
Thai investigators believe that 6 Vietnamese people died at around 1:53 p.m. on July 15.
