Thailand Police: Deaths of six people in Bangkok clarified

After the mysterious deaths of six people in a luxury hotel in Bangkok, the course of events seems to have been clarified: a 56-year-old woman from the group probably administered a very strong poison to the other five and then drank it herself, said the police chief in charge, Thiradej Thammasuthee. The reason is said to have been extremely high debts.

The bodies of the three men and three women, two of whom - including the 56-year-old - also had a US passport, were discovered in their hotel room early on Tuesday evening (local time). According to police, the room showed no signs of a struggle and was locked from the inside.
