16-7-2024 (BANGKOK)Â In a grave announcement, Prime Minister Settha Thavisin disclosed the grim details, stating that at approximately 4:30 PM, the lifeless bodies of six individuals, all hailing from Vietnam, were discovered in a hotel room. The deceased had been discovered approximately 24 hours after their death. Preliminary assessments of the scene revealed no signs of robbery or assault, further deepening the mystery shrouding this haunting case.
“We are awaiting the results of autopsies and forensic examinations to determine if the victims had ingested any substances,” Prime Minister Thavisin solemnly remarked, emphasizing the urgency of uncovering the truth behind this perplexing tragedy.
As the investigation unfolds, authorities speculate the potential involvement of a seventh guest, possibly another Vietnamese national, whose identity and connection to the victims remain shrouded in uncertainty. The Prime Minister assured the public that further information would be forthcoming as the intricate web of clues unravels.
Metropolitan Police Bureau Commissioner Pol. Lt. Gen. Thiti Sangsawang provided chilling insights into the grim discovery. Hotel staff, upon attempting to clean the room on the fifth floor in preparation for check-out, stumbled upon the horrific scene and promptly alerted the authorities.
Initial reports indicate that the group of six Vietnamese nationals had booked accommodations across five separate rooms, with four rooms on the seventh floor and a single room on the fifth. The discrepancy between the number of guests registered and the bodies discovered has further compounded the perplexing nature of this case.
According to Sangsawang, the victims appeared to have gathered in the fifth-floor room, having packed their belongings from the seventh-floor accommodations. The investigation team uncovered no signs of struggle or assault, and personal belongings remained undisturbed, ruling out the possibility of a robbery gone awry.
Eerily, the room’s interior painted a haunting tableau – a solitary dish containing six portions of food, ordered the previous day, remained untouched on a table, accompanied by six cups of what appeared to be mixed drinks. Chillingly, one cup stood partially consumed, a grim testament to the abruptly halted lives within those walls.
As the investigation intensifies, authorities have meticulously combed through CCTV footage, tracing the victims’ movements from their arrival at the airport to their final steps within the hotel’s corridors. A perplexing wound discovered on one victim’s face has further fueled speculation, although authorities dismiss the possibility of an assault.
In a twist of intrigue, a stainless steel bottle, foreign to the hotel’s inventory, has been recovered from the room, prompting authorities to delve deeper into the victims’ motives and potential activities during their brief sojourn in the city.
