Bangkok hotel deaths: Families of Vietnamese victims seek clarity on details of crime

It's been a week since six foreigners were found dead in a hotel room at Bangkok's Grand Hyatt Erawan. There is still no official conclusion on what happened, although Thai police have found cyanide in the room, indicating possible death by poisoning. CNA's Tung Ngo spoke to the mother of one of the victims, 36-year-old makeup artist Tran Dinh Phu.

If someone owes you a large amount of money, do not eat or drink offered by that person.

I feel for the guy's mom, surely the financial mess could have been solved without poisoning everyone. What people do to save face!

RIP Phu. Thanks CNA for your thorough cover on this case. So far, I have not seen anyone looking into this important story better than CNA.

The woman was pure evil she killed that innocent boy who was a make up artist. Maybe she did not have the money to pay him so she killed him too.

That evil lady looks evil too ! She must be crazy too !

Something wrong and not add up with Thai Police 's investigation. Too quick to draw conclusion and it makes no sense. This Phu guy did not drink tea and only water bottles. People do not drink tea for a toast, or drink tea before a meal but after. Not all people drink tea at the same time but sipping it so the rest would see others collapsed before drinking themselves. People eat meal then pack up. Here it is the opposite, they packed up, then go to drink tea then big meal. Nonsense.

Does sherine chong have any family? What does their family have to say about her ? Can the news anchor go interview one of them ?

[spong]

Its always the case where those cheaters always offer super high pay salary to trick the victims

[nangnuon]

They should ask for a local autopsy before burying or cremating the body. Or postpone the funeral service to see if they can get more answers.

what could these people have done for a business that caused a desire for suicide and murder? i think something was mentally wrong w this lady. im so sorry. this mamas grief is so palpable! strength to you. justice for these families!

[acerdan]

I’m so sorry for your loss. I hope your son is at peace and happy where he is now. There are so many evil people in the world waiting to hurt anyone they can.

[philn]

Her mind is so evil. Every thing is money and power, when she did not have either, she took their life with her.

[boyasia]

For sure this luxury hotel have nothing to do with this tragedy.

The sad part of the story is that everyone died.

[cocoaorange]

$5, 000 to do makeup, that is a nice salary, albeit a tragic outcome.
