BANGKOK — Thai police have confirmed that the six people found dead in a Bangkok hotel room on July 16, including four Vietnamese nationals, were victims of murder, not suicide. All six were Vietnamese, but two had American citizenship, Thai authorities confirmed. However, authorities did find five used teacups and one used glass, suggesting that the victims may have consumed some drinks. Forensic teams have collected various items from the room, including food containers, utensils, and other potential evidence, for further examination. In response to the incident, the Vietnamese Embassy in Thailand has dispatched officials to the scene, working closely with Thai authorities to gather information, identify the victims, and provide consular assistance to their families.
