Regarding the case of Vietnamese people killed in Bangkok , Thailand, at the press conference held on the evening of July 16, Lieutenant General Thiti Saengsawang - Commander of the Bangkok Metropolitan Police - said that the preliminary investigation process initially confirmed the allegations. The victim did not commit suicide but was murdered.
Lieutenant General Thiti emphasized: "Initially, the investigation team did not detect any signs of fighting, and the victims had no external injuries. The objects are still normal, there are no broken dishes."
According to Mr. Thiti, only one victim had wounds on his face. However, this injury could have been caused by the person falling and hitting a hard object and this was not the main cause of death.

The remaining 4 victims are Vietnamese nationals, including Thi Phuong Lan Nguyen, 47 years old; Hong Thanh Pham, 49 years old; Dinh Phu Tran, 37 years old and Thi Phuong Nguyen, 46 years old.
