Officials say traces of cyanide were found on 6 people found dead in a Bangkok hotel, with one suspected of murdering the others.
Bangkok — Police found traces of cyanide in the cups of six Vietnam ese and American guests whose bodies were discovered at a central Bangkok luxury hotel and one of them is believed to have poisoned the others over a bad investment, Thai authorities said Wednesday. The bodies were found Tuesday in the Grand Hyatt Erawan Bangkok , a landmark at a central intersection in the capital busy with malls, government buildings and public transit.
A husband and wife among the dead had invested money with two of the others, suggesting that money could be a motive, said Noppasin, citing information obtained from relatives of the victims. The investment was meant to build a hospital in Japan and the group might have been meeting to settle the matter. Bangkok police chief Lt. Gen. Thiti Sangsawang said Tuesday that four bodies were in the living room and two in the bedroom.
