Police are looking into the origin of the cyanide used to kill six Vietnamese-Americans earlier this week at a hotel in Bangkok’s Ratchaprasong district.
Police are looking into whether the poison was imported into the state or purchased directly, according to Metropolitan Police Bureau Division 5 commander Pol Maj Gen Witthawat Chinkham.
He claimed that authorities are awaiting the results of all forensic examinations before making a decision about calling people in for more inquiries.
Officers were attempting to speak with the younger girl of one of the six victims as well. On July 10, she made her way to Vietnam.
Chanchai Sittipunt, producer of Chulalongkorn Hospital, said on Thursday that investigations on the body of the six deceased had been completed.
The family may be permitted to come in for collection if the authorities do n’t request any additional information.
Authorities believe Sherine Chong, one of the six persons found dead at the Grand Hyatt Erawan Hotel in Bangkok on Tuesday night, poisoned the others before killing herself, with a significant debt problem as the possible cause.
Prior to this, Lumpini police station’s research chief, Pol Maj Gen Theeradet Thumsuthee, recently claimed that officers had interrogated the daughter of one of the sufferers as well as other witnesses.
Their records were beneficial, he said.
” The situation likely roots from a debt problem. There are no other options. Because they were the only ones who entered the room, the suspect is one of the six who have died. There were no people”, Pol Maj Gen Theeradet said.
On Tuesday night, the six were discovered dead in a place on the second floor of the Grand Hyatt Erawan Hotel in Bangkok.
Two of the people were citizens of the United States, and the other two were Taiwanese.
The room next door had been reserved by a sixth Asian person. She was reportedly the victim’s younger sister, according to authorities.
The girl left the country on July 10 and was undoubtedly unrelated to the incidents.
Kornkiat Vongpaisarnsin, chairman of the examination heart at Chulalongkorn University’s Faculty of Medicine, recently said an preliminary search of the plasma samples of the six deceased had detected poison.
According to a police source, Tien Thang Pham, one of the six dead’s previous husbands, had been questioned by researchers at Lumpini police stop on Wednesday.
Before the deaths, the man was said to be on a trip to Japan and had a picture phone with his ex-wife.
Sherine, who had been given American citizen, was also reportedly in contact with law enforcement in the United States for more information.
More than ten years ago, it was discovered that various Asian residents in San Francisco had complained to the authorities.
They claimed she defrauded them by offering them money to help them obtain British citizen.
According to the source, lawyers in the United States finally decided to drop the circumstance against her.
